Laura Ashley's cosy 80s-chic knitted top so popular it's flying off shelves
The Scottish knit pattern and autumnal colours make the Laura Ashley vest a must-have for chilly days
Since home and lifestyle brand Laura Ashley relaunched its womenswear back in April, it's been a popular shopping destination for shoppers who like prints.
The new autumn collection has landed and this Laura Ashley Fairisle Knitted Vest Tank has fashion fans snagging the piece for chic and cosy as the weather went chilly. It might be too warm to consider wearing chunky sweaters, this £35 top goes perfectly with a light blouse or a turtleneck top to keep you warm without making you sweat.
Looking at this autumn's trends, espresso brown and tonal dressing are everywhere on the high street and Laura Ashley's beige brown vest is brimming with intricate woven patterns.
Available at Next, a description of the item reads: "Layer up your look with the Laura Ashley Fair Isle Knitted Vest Tank. The sleeveless woven heritage piece is decorated with a classic fair isle print in a spectrum of pretty shades and it offers a regular fit. Wear it over a crisp white shirt with jeans for a timeless everyday look." Sizes run from extra small to extra large, but certain sizes have already gone out of stock.
Shoppers agreed that the Fairisle Vest is "gorgeous and cosy" while one joked: "There’ll be folks looking at the first picture and wishing they’d kept their tank tops from the 70’s/80’s."
"The thick band at the hem wraps around the waist comfortably without any discomfort, it actually helps trapping the body heat, I love it, it's perfect for the horrible weather we're having right now," a second added.
