A cosy fleece is a wardrobe essential, and we’ve spotted a ‘stylish’ option at Next that’s currently reduced in the retailer’s clearance sale.
The Black/White Houndstooth Check Jacquard Teddy Borg Quarter Zip Fleece Sweatshirt was €51.50 but has been reduced to €25. At time of writing, it’s available online in sizes X-Small to 2X-Large. There’s also a green floral option (€26), available in sizes Medium to 2X-Large.
The product description on the Next website says: “Cosy up in this stylish black and white dogtooth check fleece. The plush borg fabric and chunky collar offer warmth and comfort, while the practical quarter-zip and ribbed cuffs make this a perfect blend of style and practicality for cooler days.”
Features of the fleece:
- Dogtooth check
- Borg fleece
- Quarter-zip
- Ribbed cuffs
Elsewhere, you could take a look at the €54.99 ASOS DESIGN half zip borg fleece with folk trim detail in cream.
Or for something a bit lighter, the M&S Fleece Half Zip Sweatshirt is €39 and is marked as ‘popular’ on the retailer’s website.
The Next fleece has received an overall rating of 4.8 out of five stars based on 29 customer reviews. One happy shopper said: “Bought for my trip to Sweden. Bought XL so I can layer and it’s roomy and warm. Perfect.”
A second added: “Material quality and style good. As described.”
A third said: “Absolutely love this jacket. It’s really thick and warm and the quality is amazing. Looks much smarter than a normal fleece. [I’ve] been wearing mine with jeans and trainers no need for a coat.”
However, a different shopper deducted a star from their rating and said: “Lovely design but too bulky and heavy to use as a soft fleece. Will be perfect as a coat though.”
Another added: “Jacket is ok but didn’t suit me. It was too short.”
But a five-star reviewer praised: “I purchased this for a trip. The fit and quality is very good so pleased with my purchase. Looks really good.”
