Lidl has a new addition to its fashion range that could rival a pricier alternative on sale at Next
Temperatures are dropping as autumn tightens its grip with winter just around the corner, prompting people to look for affordable ways to keep warm outdoors. Lidl may have just the solution without stretching the budget.
The major supermarket, which has over 1,000 stores nationwide, is renowned for its 'Middle of Lidl Aisle' that boasts a selection of deals on homeware, garden accessories, seasonal items, fashion and much more. One of its latest additions could steal the show - and it looks almost identical to a higher-end alternative on sale elsewhere.
Shoppers can grab the Men's Black Thermal Fleece Jacket in-store only for £9.99 from Thursday, October 15 while stocks last. Anyone hoping for home delivery will be disappointed, so to avoid a wasted trip on launch day, make sure to double check stock levels at your local branch via the online store finder.
The jacket has a versatile black design with orange accents, making it easy to pair with a range of outdoor outfits. Made from 100 per cent polyester fleece, it is designed to help retain warmth and keep the chill at bay.

Next, for instance, is stocking the Reiss Navy Meros McLaren Racing Fleece Half-Zip for £98 - nearly 10-times the price of Lidl's offering. While it's not marketed as a jacket, it boasts an almost identical look but with the iconic McLaren branding normally associated with motorsport, Formula 1 racing and luxury supercars.
Describing the product, Next said: "The Navy Meros top is crafted from soft fleece with McLaren Racing and Reiss embroidery on the chest and additional branding to the back. The half-zip style is finished with a motorsport sleeve badge."
A half-zip jumper is a versatile wardrobe staple that helps keep you warm while allowing you to adjust your temperature throughout the day. The zip can be opened for extra ventilation when you're feeling warm or pulled up to help trap heat when the temperature drops, making it ideal for layering over a T-shirt or under a coat.
One of the biggest differences between the two is that customers can order the half-zip for home delivery. Next offers next-day home delivery for £4.95 per order when placed before 11pm, subject to availability. Its Nextunlimited annual pass costs £24.50 and includes unlimited home and ParcelShop deliveries, while oversized furniture deliveries incur a £30 fee.
