The Cotton Washed Crew Neck Cardigan at Next is made from 100% cotton and is ‘ideal for layering’ in the unpredictable British weather
It may be August, but it appears the Great British weather failed to get the memo. The forecast looks greyer once again this weekend. For summer days that still feel a little chilly, a cardigan is a great wardrobe weapon for tackling unpredictable temperatures in the UK.
While there are plenty to choose from on the high street, one we’ve spotted that looks particularly chic is the Cotton Washed Crew Neck Cardigan at Next. Coming in at £37, it’s made from 100% cotton, making it a more premium option compared to polyester counterparts, and is said to ‘go with lots’ of different outfits.
The knit is available in three colours, including stone for neutral lovers, as well as blue and red for those who crave colour in their wardrobe. Some shoppers love the cardi so much, they’ve bought it in all more than one shade, with others saying they’d “love to see it in more colours”.

Designed with a crew neck and stitched detailing to the drop shoulders, the cardigan is ‘ideal for layering’ or for throwing on over your summer outfit. The brand has described it as an ‘all-seasons staple’ that will see wearers through the autumn and winter months and even into spring.
For a more premium option, this Ribbed Button Front Cardigan with Wool from Hush costs £100. It comes in oatmeal or green, and has a cotton and wool blend mix for a soft feel.

Alternatively, Marks and Spencer is currently offering a Cotton Blend Textured Button Front Cropped Cardigan for £36 in four colours, including red and navy. It’s a great short-sleeve option with statement gold buttons and lends itself nicely to being worn as a top in its own right – we can see it being paired with a satin skirt for a summer evening look.
As for the Next cardigan, though, the rave reviews have been rolling in, with nothing less than a four-star review in sight. One said: “Nice cotton cardigan, well made. I have this one in cream and blue as well as the red so obviously I recommend.”
“Really nice cotton cardigan,” said another. “Nice neat fit and it’s not too long. Would love to see it in more colours.” One mentioned that the sleeves were on the longer side, something to consider for shoppers with shorter arms.
They wrote: “Just what I was looking for, a neutral colour to go with lots for chilly summer days. Looks nice with jeans and will take me into autumn. Fit good, but have had to turn up sleeves at the cuff, which looks fine.”
A fourth wrote: “Good quality, bit heavier than usual cardigans so will get plenty of wear. Shorter style works well with jeans and smart trousers.”
