Coleen Rooney looked effortlessly chic in a cosy burgundy jumper as she addressed fans after her stint on I’m A Celeb, and we think we’ve tracked down the exact knit she’s wearing
Coleen Rooney ‘overwhelmed’ by fan support since I’m a Celeb appearance
Coleen Rooney has finally spoken to her followers on Instagram after her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, and she looked a far cry from her jungle uniform in a cosy burgundy jumper. With burgundy continuing to dominate as the colour of the season, we couldn’t wait to track down Coleen’s chic knitwear for ourselves.
Although she hasn’t shared where her jumper is from, we think we may have tracked down the exact one she’s wearing, which appears to be the Rise & Fall Women’s Cashmere Merino High Neck Jumper. The jumper’s oxblood shade is exactly the same as her deep burgundy knit, and its high ribbed neck is identical to the one Coleen’s wearing, making it a perfect match.

The cashmere jumper is made from 30% Mongolian cashmere and 70% merino wool, which makes it incredibly soft and warm to wear, and the cashmere yarn has been certified by the Good Cashmere Standard and wool by the Responsible Wool Standard, making it ethical too. It has a timeless design, with an oversized boxy cut that’s flattering and perfect for layering.
However it’s the details that really elevate the jumper, with a high ribbed neckline and deep folded ribbed cuffs giving it a high end look. The dropped shoulder seams give it a relaxed, laid-back effect, and its thick weave makes it look and feel luxurious.
Although burgundy is having a serious trending moment right now, there are also 11 colours in total to choose from, including classics like black and grey, and bolder shades like red and pink. The burgundy shade is currently available in all sizes from an XS to and XL.
Shoppers have also been praising it, giving it a 4.7 star rating and writing: “Love the jumper! Perfect cut, perfect swing and a great colour.”
Another agreed: “Beautiful quality soft yarn, lovely colour, great fit, warm but not too bulky.”
Whilst a third added: “This is my second purchase in only a few months, the cashmere is super soft, feels amazing when wearing, light and airy but also nice and warm. The funnel neck jumper is a lovely boxy shape with a great drape to it, neck sits nicely. True to size, looks so luxurious.”
However some found issue with the fit, saying: “Looks lovely, tiny bit itchy around the neck. Arms a bit on the long side, and wide. Can get in the way.”
With another agreeing: “I am afraid I returned it as for me it was a bit too wide and too short. I loved the colour, feel of the wool etc and wished it had worked on me.”
If your budget isn’t quite stretching to Coleen’s luxurious cashmere one, we’ve found an amazing affordable alternative over at Uniqlo. The Soufflé Yarn High Neck Jumper will set you back £29.90, and although its material is a combination of 8% wool and polyester, it’s still ultra soft and snuggly to wear.
It has a similar ribbed high neck and oversized boxy fit, and like all of Uniqlo’s Soufflé jumpers it’s been specially-designed to be less scratchy than other knits. They’re knitted using a special technique that creates a unique springy, soft texture, making them stretchy and gentle to the touch. You can also choose from six colours, including burgundy, navy and grey.
