The chill doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, but we’re already eyeing pieces that will take us seamlessly into spring. A classic cashmere jumper is one of the best wardrobe investments for this time of year, offering warmth for winter days while remaining lightweight enough for transitional dressing.
With that in mind, Uniqlo’s top-rated cashmere turtleneck jumper is £10 off, bringing it down to £79.90 from £89.90. Made from 100% cashmere, shoppers praise it for being “super soft” and the “perfect size,” with Uniqlo specially treating the fabric to resist piling and maintain its plush feel.
Available in nine colours, from versatile neutrals to rich, seasonal hues, this jumper is an easy layering piece that can be dressed up or down. However, it needs to be hand-washed to keep its softness intact — a little extra care, but one that ensures it stays looking its best.

While it’s still cold, layer it under an oversized wool coat with wide-leg trousers and chunky boots for a sleek look. A tonal outfit in shades of beige, grey or black will feel effortlessly chic and classic.
When spring arrives, swap the heavy layers for a lightweight trench and pair the sweater with relaxed jeans or a midi skirt. A cashmere knit draped over the shoulders of a white tee and tailored trousers also makes for a stylish transitional outfit.
The sweater has earned some solid reviews, with a strong 4.6 star-rating. One person said it’s “super soft, warm and true to size”, while another called it “good quality, very soft cashmere.”
A third chimed in: “You won’t get such great quality anywhere else for the price. The cashmere sweater has become my favourite sweater. Simply 10 out of 10 points. It is relatively tight fitting, so I would recommend buying a size larger.”
However, not everyone was impressed. A reviewer complained, “Very thin and itchy. It is not often that cashmere itches. I got cashmere jumpers from Uniqlo before, and they were noticeably better.”
Someone else described it as a “sure-fire classic,” adding, “(It’s a) timeless, soft and good-quality sweater.” Another shopper added, “Comfortable sweater that does what it should do: comfy, chic, classy and warm! Model falls loosely, not too tight.”
So, with its timeless design and luxe feel, this Uniqlo jumper is one of those wear-forever pieces worth snapping up — especially while it’s on sale. You can shop it here.
Alternatively, M&S has this ribbed roll-neck jumper for a reasonable £19.50. It’s available in five colours, including an eye-catching apple green hue, and is a slim fit for a chic, tailored look.
Next is offering this turtleneck jumper for £13.50 for something even more affordable. If you’re feeling brave, it comes in an on-trend leopard print design, which will look stunning with a leather jacket and bold red lip.
