Uniqlo's bestselling Soft Knit Fleece Crew Neck top, which retails at £19.90, can now be bought for as little as £4.73 thanks to a TopCashback new-member bonus, according to money-saving website TopCashback.
The knitwear, available in 11 colours and sizes from XXS to XXL, has an almost-perfect 4.8-star rating from more than 1,270 reviews on the Uniqlo website, with 1,150 of those reviews giving the maximum five stars.
How the Cashback Deal Works
TopCashback offers new members who sign up for free a £15 bonus on their first qualifying purchase from a host of big name brands, including Uniqlo. Shoppers who buy the knitwear at full price and shop via TopCashback can effectively get it for £4.73 once the bonus and cashback is paid, if they click and collect it in-store.
However, if you order online, the £3.95 delivery will increase that to £8.68. The cashback will track at the point of checkout and should appear in TopCashback accounts within seven working days of purchase. The cashback will become payable when Uniqlo pays TopCashback the commission for the purchase.
Shopper Reviews and Praise
One happy customer said: "I love this top. I’ve bought it in three colours and already want more, including duplicates as backups because I can see myself wearing these constantly. They go with almost everything. So warm yet lightweight, with a lovely cut and fit. So versatile, whether worn casually, dressed up with smart trousers or layered."
Another added: "Trust Uniqlo to use fleece in such a clever way. These tops look and feel premium, with a gorgeous flattering drape, they’re warm but lightweight - you could layer without feeling all bunched-up. I’ve wanted something comfy that isn’t a zip-up fleece, and that isn’t bad-bobbly knitwear. These are just the thing. I went for lovely cheery red and handy charcoal."
A third shopper did give a word of warning about the sizing though, explaining: "I cannot tell you enough how soft this shirt is. It feels so nice wearing this. It’s a bit over sized so size down if you wish but overall I love this shirt."
Alternatives from Other Retailers
The M&S Collection has a similar Air-Yarn Crew Neck Jumper (£18) which comes in nine colours and has an average rating of 4.5 stars from 406 reviews. Meanwhile, Mango's round-neck knitted sweater is slightly pricier (£22.99) and comes in XXS to 4XL in several of the four colours.
Elsewhere, Celebrity Traitors fans might have spotted Claudia Winkleman rocking Cos' merino wool tops (£45) to combat the chill of the Highlands at various points in the series. It’s available in seven colours, including some much brighter ones than the iconic TV presenter’s usual gothic palette.
Going back to the Uniqlo Soft Knit Fleece shirt though, one of the standout features for shoppers is definitely that it can be dressed up or down depending on need, making it a wardrobe workhorse for its modest price tag.
