'Cosy' £16 Primark cardigan 'almost identical' to luxury £67 high-end version - Liverpool Echo

The retailer is stocking a £16 Cropped Ballerina Cardigan that arguably looks similar to & Other Stories' Mohair-Blend Knitted Wrap Cardigan. The & Other Stories style is priced at £67, so Primark's cardigan is the more budget-friendly of the two options. However, there are some differences between the styles.

Both wrap cardigans come in a similar pink shade, with puff sleeves, fitted cuffs, and a self-tie belt, but only Primark's style is cropped. There are also design and material differences, reports the Mirror. The Primark cardigan made from a blend of polyester, wool, elastane, and acrylic, whereas the & Other Stories cardigan is made from a blend of RWS wool and RMS mohair.

The product description for the Primark cardigan states: "Soft and sweet, this cropped ballerina cardigan in a sweet pink is perfect for layering. Crafted from cosy knitted fabric, it wraps around with a self-tie at the side, creating a flattering V-neck. The long balloon sleeves add a touch of drama with puffed shoulders and fitted cuffs for a snug finish.

"Its cropped length makes it great to pair with high-waisted jeans or skirts, adding a delicate touch to your outfit while keeping things comfy and warm." It's available to click and collect from Primark's website, in pink or oatmeal.

The product description for the & Other Stories Cardigan states: "Fuzzy wrap cardigan knitted from a mohair and merino wool blend. Secured with a self-tie detail." The details add that the style has puff sleeves, and ribbed cuffs and hemline. It's available from & Other Stories' website, in black, beige, plum, dusty pink, and petrol blue.

Alternatively, shoppers who would prefer a different style might prefer different options. Fashion fans might like Primark's £20 Essential Knitted Bomber in pink, ivory, or brown. The product description states: "Say hello to your new throw on and go knit.

"This essential knitted bomber comes in a brown shade with a relaxed fit that's easy to layer. It's designed with long sleeves, a crew neckline and a classic button down front, plus ribbed cuffs and hem for a snug finish.

"The soft knit texture adds cosiness, while two patch pockets bring a touch of utility (and somewhere to tuck your hands). Great with jeans, skirts or over a dress - the style choices are endless!"

& Other Stories has the £67 Wool-Blend Cardigan in black, dark red, light brown, and mole. The product description states: "Knitted from a wool-cotton blend, this cardigan features a round neckline with ribbed detailing at the neck, hem, and cuffs. Traced with tonal buttons down the front. Layer it over shirts and T-shirts."

Elsewhere, New Look has the £27.99 Puff Sleeve Wrap Jumper in black, mink, mint, and red. The product description for the red version states: "Tying at the side in a considered wrap silhouette, this red jumper has a classic V-neckline and lightly puffed sleeves ending in ribbed cuffs to echo the trims."
