As the UK winter drags on with its short days and chilly temperatures, fashion-conscious shoppers have discovered a vibrant solution to lift their spirits. Roman's Multi Boucle Stripe Cowl Neck Jumper, currently reduced by 20% to just £32 from £40, is becoming a must-have item for injecting colour into the season.
A Flattering and Colourful Winter Essential
The jumper is crafted from a soft knitted fabric and features a cosy cowl neck. Its key design detail is the use of vertical stripes in shades of green, orange, pink, and blue, which are noted for creating a flattering, elongating silhouette. The long-line cut is designed to fall over the hips, making it a versatile piece that pairs well with leggings or trousers for a casual yet put-together look.
For those preferring a more subdued palette, Roman offers an alternative blue and yellow striped version, though this remains at the full price of £40. Another colourway featuring grey, peach, brown, and blue stripes is also included in the 20% off promotion, bringing its price down to £32. The jumper is available in sizes 10 through to 20.
Shopper Reviews: Compliments and Sizing Tips
Customer feedback highlights the jumper's popularity, with many wearers reporting they receive frequent compliments. One satisfied shopper stated, "Lovely soft jumper and great colours. I've had many compliments," while another echoed, "I get so many compliments when I wear this - I love it!"
Regarding fit, some reviewers advise considering sizing down. One customer who usually wears a size 12 shared, "the jumper is very loose fitting and I think a 10 would have been a better fit for me." They added that despite this, the colours were great and the item washed well. The jumper's length has also been noted; a reviewer who is 5ft 11ins praised the generous body and sleeve length, whereas someone who is 5ft 2ins found it very long.
Perfect for Layering and the Office
Praised for its versatility, the jumper is thin enough for effective layering—a key feature for navigating the shift from cold outdoors to heated buildings during commutes. Its comfort for driving or train travel without adding bulk under a coat was also highlighted. This adaptability means it can be worn from winter into spring and again in autumn.
Several shoppers have endorsed it as excellent office wear. One said, "Just so cosy and warm. I team up with trousers to wear to work." Another commented, "With black trousers, skirt or jeans, perfect and brightens up dreary winter days." A third simply called it a "wonderful" find for adding colour at a "drab time of year."
While the fabric was described as thinner than expected by one customer, who now wears a long-sleeved top underneath, the overall sentiment remains highly positive. For those seeking other options, high-street alternatives include a Rainbow Stripe Crew Neck Jumper with wool at Next for £40 and a Pure Merino Wool Striped Jumper at Marks & Spencer for £36.
