Boden's 'magic' autumn cardigan that 'complements and lifts so many outfits' is now 60% off

This is the perfect piece to wear as a jacket or layered under heavier pieces when the temperature begins to dip

Autumn is around the corner and the evenings are growing chillier. While it's not quite time for a heavy coat, a cardigan that can double as a jacket or be layered under bulkier items when the mercury drops is a must-have in your wardrobe.

Such cardigans, with a slightly denser knit, are rare finds, but Boden has just the thing. Customers are singing praises of the fashion retailer's Holly Knitted Jacket, and it's easy to see why.

Currently on offer, shoppers can snag the Holly Knitted Jacket with a whopping 60 per cent discount, now priced at £52 instead of £130. It's available in sizes six to 22, most of which are still in stock.

The jacket is made from 100% breathable cotton, cut in a neat, boxy silhouette and cropped length.

It offers a contemporary twist on nautical style, featuring oversized spots in place of stripes and gold-tone buttons.

Meanwhile, Nobody's Child's Black and White Stripe Textured Knitted Cardigan can be yours for £25.60 instead of £79 when you use the discount code EXTRA20 at checkout.

The cable knit cardigan boasts contrasting buttons, ribbed trims and classic black and white stripes, reports the Manchester Evening News. Over at White Stuff, the Suzanna Crew Cardigan is up for grabs at £69.

Available in sizes six to 24, this cardigan features a classic fit with a crew neckline and long sleeves, crafted from a super soft wool blend, making it ideal for the upcoming transitional season.

Back at Boden, the Holly Knitted Jacket has an impressive overall star-rating of 4.4 out of five, based on over 340 reviews.

One pleased customer stated: "Absolutely love Boden knitwear, cardigans which can double as a jacket are perfect, I love them."

Another penned: "I'm very happy with this cardigan/jacket. It's perfect for a weekend away or holiday. I'm a size 14 and it fits perfectly. It's a lovely quality and the colours are vibrant. Got it at a great price in the sale. What's not to like?"

"Stunning jacket which complements and lifts so many items in my wardrobe," another person commented.

"Easy to dress up or down and just love that it's all cotton. Boden this is magic."

However, one shopper gave the Holly Knitted Jacket a three-star review, stating it's 'not my style'. The review reads: "The style didn't suit me, too boxy/wide and the gap at the back was too much as it flopped about."

Yet another was thrilled with their latest Boden purchase, adding: "Stylish jacket that can be dressed up or down. It looks casual with jeans or more formal with navy classic trousers.

"The fit is spot on - I bought it in medium and I would be a size 14. Can be worn with a crisp white shirt underneath or simply as is."
