Shoppers are heaping praise on a knitted fairisle jumper that oozes subtle festive charm and is from a brand reportedly beloved by Princess Kate. The Greta Sparkle Fairisle Jumper by Hobbs costs £99 and is available in sizles XD to L.
With a navy blue background, the jumper’s standout feature is the classically Christmassy fairisle print, that decorates the jumper’s top half in a zig zag pattern that alternates ivory and silver.
What makes this jumper so lovely is that there is a touch a sparkle in the silver thread, making it a pretty and chic choice for those who don’t fancy adding a garishly festive jumper to their wardrobe collection.
Made with a merino wool blend that has a ‘touch of cashmere’, the jumper has a relaxed fit design, making it ideal for wearing with both your favourite jeans as well as a silver satin skirt, for a more sophisticated look.
The jumper has a ribbed crew neckline and long sleeves to ensure you can keep cosy this winter. Despite being relatively new in, the knit has already received high praise from fashion fans with a 4.5 star rating.
One happy Hobbs fan shared: “I love this jumper, it is a lovely colour and design and the fit is perfect. I love Hobbs clothes, great quality and style.”
Another mused: “Excellent quality with subtle lurex embellishment. Ideal for smart casual wear with jeans, trousers or skirts and favourite footwear ie knee or ankle boots. Looking forward to wearing it to four festive lunchtime occasions this year. An absolute GO TO jumper.”
While the compliments for this jumper have been flooding in, one particular customer wasn’t too pleased with their purchase and left a four star review sharing their disappointment in the sizing of the neckline.
It read: “I felt the ne[ck] is slightly larger when l have worn it.”
The jumper also comes in an ivory shade as well, if you’d rather something a little lighter in colour – although it doesn’t have the glittery addition of metallic thread.
If sparkles is what you’re after, Asda’s Grey Sequin Diamond Knitted Jumper is a lovely option at £24 or for a similar style but with a turtleneck and less glitter, Cotton Traders’ Fair Isle Turtleneck Jumper is £39 here.
