WITH temperatures dropping below freezing for a large part of the UK this week, we’re on the lookout for cosy and stylish clothing to keep us warm – and we’ve found a bargain gilet that looks remarkably similar to a high-end Lululemon version.
River Island’s Padded High Neck Gilet is currently better than half price online after being slashed from £45 down to £20 in the fashion retailer’s big January sale.
Even better, shoppers can currently save an extra 20% on their basket at the checkout with the code EXTRA20, taking the gilet down to just £16.
This cosy layer is available to buy on the River Island website in three colours (black, cream and dark red) and sizes XS-L – although some sizes are selling out quickly, so don’t hang about if you want to bag this bargain.
The red and the cream colourways have been slashed down to £20 (less than half price) while the black version is reduced to £25.
With a high neck, two side pockets and a quilted body, it’s the perfect extra layer when you’re walking, exercising or spending time outside in the cold weather.
It can be worn over layers of clothing such as hoodies or sweatshirts, or under another coat or jacket for an additional layer of insulation.
However, what caught our eye, is that we think the New Look gilet looks very similar to this £198 gilet from Lululemon – but for almost a tenth of the price.
Lululemon’s popular item of clothing does have a few additional features, including a detachable hood, elasticated hem and down filling.
It’s also available in more colourways (some of which are also currently on sale) but for just £20, we think River Island’s version is a great, and much more affordable alternative.
Just ensure you don’t forget to add the code EXTRA20 at the checkout to save an additional £4.
If you’re looking for more ways to beat the freeze this January we’ve found loads of great value winter warmers, from a £14 thermals set to toasty heated socks.
