Overview

• Next’s clearance sale now includes the Black Cable Knitted Longline V-Neck Tunic Jumper, reduced from £36 to £15, drawing praise for its cosy fit and silhouette as other sizes sell out online.
• Other markdowns include a layered jumper-and-shirt combo at £21 (down from £48), a two-pack of fine-knit crew-neck jumpers for £24, and cotton cardigans ranging from £26 to £37.
• Next has also halved a tailored wool-blend blazer from £60 to £29 and cut waterfall longline coatigans to £30 to offer versatile smart and casual layering.
• Consumer feedback praises the blend of style, fit and quality at bargain prices, with high demand driving rapid stock depletion in petite, tall and popular colourways.
• Rivals including Marks & Spencer, Roman, Boden and Hush have mirrored the markdown drive with transitional knit and jacket offerings, notably M&S’s £35 soft-touch waisted knit jacket.
