Lidl is likely to impress bargain hunters with its new range of Special Buy deals launching this Sunday, August 23. The supermarket updates its Middle Aisle offerings every Thursday and Sunday, and the next batch of items includes various fashion staples that could be easily mistaken at a glance for much pricier high-end versions.<\/p>\n
Lidl<\/a> shoppers will be able to browse a new range of men’s and women’s clothing from the store’s Esmara line as of Sunday. One particular piece of clothing shares similar features to pricier versions available at Selfridges and Next.<\/p>\n Lidl’s new Ladies’ Red Sweatshirt<\/a> costs \u00a37.99 and comes in either a small, medium or large. The product description reads: “Made with soft viscose. High collar with zip. Relaxed fit. With Creora Elastane for shape retention.”<\/p>\n Selfridges is selling Varley’s Hawley Half-Zip Stretch-Woven Sweatshirt<\/a> for \u00a3114, which shares a similar design to Lidl’s, but costs far more. The sweater comes in a similar colour and is cuffed at the bottom seam and the ends of the sleeves. It also has a zip fastening at the front, although the zip is gold, rather than silver, like Lidl’s.<\/p>\n The product description adds: “Exposed zip fastening at front. Relaxed fit, high neck, long sleeves, half-zip, ribbed trims. Machine wash cold. True to size. Midweight, slight stretch.”<\/p>\n Lidl’s new Ladies’ Red Sweatshirt for \u00a37.99 (L) and Selfridges Varley’s Hawley Half-Zip Stretch-Woven Sweatshirt for \u00a3114 (R)(Image: Lidl\/Selfridges)<\/p>\n Another similar option is available at Next for \u00a357 – it usually costs \u00a3105 but is currently available in a sale. The high street store is also selling a Varley Sassafras Marl Half Zip Hawley Sweatshirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next’s \u00a357 option comes in a similar dark red\/plum colour and features a silver half-zip at the front, with cuffs at the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the sweatshirt. The product description reads: “An elevated alternative to the classic sweat in signature DoubleSoft fabric, Betsy is your oversized wardrobe staple.”<\/p>\n A third similar version is also on sale at Next, as the fashion retailer is selling a set of two Half Zip Funnel Neck Sweatshirts<\/a> in berry and light pink for \u00a330, meaning each sweater costs \u00a315. This is still more than Lidl’s \u00a38 alternative.<\/p>\n Next’s Varley Sassafras Marl Half Zip Hawley Sweatshirt for \u00a357 (L) and Next’s Half Zip Funnel Neck Sweatshirts for \u00a330(Image: Next)<\/p>\n What other clothing items is Lidl releasing on Sunday?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lidl is offering the Esmara Ladies’ Trench Coat<\/a> for \u00a314.99 for Lidl Plus app users and \u00a317.99 for everyone else. It will be available in three colours: beige, khaki, and black. Many agree that trench coats are excellent for summer and autumn because they are made from light, breathable fabrics and have a comfy fit, which helps shield you from surprise rain and cool winds without making you too warm.<\/p>\n Lidl is also launching a pair of Ladies’ Leather Clogs<\/a> for \u00a37.99. The supermarket says: “Leather upper, lining and footbed for extra comfort. Anatomically shaped footbed. Adjustable buckles for a secure fit. Lightweight EVA sole. Sizes: 4-7.5.”<\/p>\n![\"Lidl's](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/0_lidlsweater.jpg\")
