Shoppers at popular British retailer White Stuff are heaping praise on one of the brand's staple knitwear items, with many claiming it carries a surprisingly high-end aesthetic. The item in question is the Crew Neck Cotton Jumper, which retails for £49 and is available through White Stuff's own channels as well as at major retailers Next and Marks and Spencer.
What Makes This Jumper So Popular?
The jumper's appeal lies in its considered design and fabric composition. It is crafted from a blend of 55 per cent organic cotton, combined with modal and polyester to create what the brand describes as a 'middle-y weight' fabric. The design features a relaxed fit aided by dropped shoulders, with ribbed trim detailing at the neck and cuffs of the long sleeves.
It is offered in four distinct colourways: dusty pink, bright teal, French navy, and mid chartreuse. The inclusive size range runs from a UK 6 to a 24, catering to a wide variety of body types.
Customer Reviews Highlight Flattering Fit and Style
The product has garnered an impressive 4.6-star rating from nearly 600 reviews on the White Stuff website. Customers consistently highlight its smart yet comfortable everyday wearability.
One reviewer encapsulated the sentiment, writing, "Love this everyday jumper, it looks expensive." They added that its weight makes it "just right for a milder day under a coat or jacket."
Another satisfied customer praised its versatility, stating, "Practical and smart. I like this style of jumper... They look smart and wash very well." The jumper's ability to flatter the figure was also a key point of praise, with one shopper noting it "skims the bumpy bits beautifully."
However, the reviews were not universally perfect. A small number of customers reported issues with bobbling after limited wear, and one found the colour in person to be darker than anticipated.
Affordable Alternatives to Consider
For those seeking similar styles at different price points, the market offers several alternatives. Uniqlo sells a Smooth Cotton Crew Neck Jumper for £34.90, made from 100% cotton and available in eight colours.
On the more budget-friendly end, New Look offers a Crew Neck Jumper for just £18.99. This version comes in a vast selection of 14 colours and is made from a midweight knit fabric.
Whether splurging on the White Stuff original or opting for a more economical alternative, the classic crew neck jumper remains a timeless and sought-after piece in the British wardrobe, proving that style and practicality can indeed go hand in hand.
