'New Look's £27 autumn cardigan in three colours is so thick and lovely - I can't wait to wear it to the office'

New Look shoppers are heaping praise on a cardigan that's perfect for the upcoming transitional weather. The 'lovely and soft' piece has been hailed as 'smart enough for the office' by those who have already picked it up and we definitely agree.

The high street retailer's Cream Crew Neck Knit Cardigan costs £26.99 and is available in three colours. Shoppers can pick it up in cream, black and grey, as well as in sizes six to 22.

The versatile button-down is guaranteed to be a wardrobe essential when the weather turns cold. The textured midweight knit has been cut in a relaxed fit with a regular length that is designed to sit on the hips. It features a crew neckline, long sleeves and buttons that run up the entire piece.

The cardigan can be worn with virtually anything already found in your wardrobe. It can be styled over a top with a pair of jeans such as these £34.99 Blue Adalae High-Waist Wide Leg Jeans on warmer days, as well as under a gilet like the £36.99 Black Crop Puffer Gilet on chilly mornings.

The Crew Neck Knit Cardigan is new to New Look's website but has racked up two glowing reviews. One shopper said: "Cozy. Soft touch, sits on top of hips. Plenty of room to wear a fitted shirt/t-shirt underneath."

A second wrote: "Lovely and soft. Quite thick so will be great for autumn/winter and smart enough for the office."
