New Lidl £7 autumn jumper is budget-friendly alternative to £135 John Lewis option Shoppers who like the look of the pattern on John Lewis' jumper, but would prefer spending less, may be interested in Lidl's option Shoppers keen to update their wardrobes for the cold, windy autumn weather while sticking to a budget may be interested in Lidls new clothing range. As part of the supermarket's upcoming Special Buy update, customers will be able to get their hands on a new 'Norwegian-style' Special Buy. From Sunday, October 18, shoppers will find an Esmara Ladies' Beige Chunky Knit Jumper available in stores for £6.99. Lidl says the jumper features a "jacquard pattern and raglan sleeves with ribbed cuffs". It is also made with recycled material, including 73% acrylic, 21% polyester (recycled), 4% wool, 2% elastane. The store adds that the elastane is Lyrca "for a superior fit". Sizes include small, medium and large. The £7 beige 'Norwegian-style' jumper shares a similar-looking pattern on the front and back to a pricier option available at John Lewis. The high-street store is selling a Hush Meryl Roll Neck Fairisle Jumper in 'sand brown' for £135. For those who like the look of John Lewis' £135 Hush version, but are keen to keep spending as low as possible, Lidl's option could be a more budget-friendly alternative. While the two jumpers do not look identical and differ in material and design, they both share a similar 'Norwegian-style' pattern across the neckline and chest. Lidl's £7 jumper features a standard ribbed crew neck, while the John Lewis jumper has a high, slouchy roll neck. In terms of fit and silhouette, Lidl's jumper offers a close-to-neck standard fit and length. Meanwhile, the John Lewis jumper is more oversized, with a relaxed silhouette and dropped shoulders. However, for shoppers looking for a beige jumper with a 'Norwegian-style' pattern for less than £10, Lidl's option could be worth considering. The £7 also looks similar to H&M's £27.99 Jacquard-Knit Jumper, which has now sold out. What other Special Buy deals are coming to Lidl?
