The blanket stitch is currently the go-to for stylish, trendy outerwear and one retailer is stocking such a garment that is similar to a luxury brand.

For those of us who want to look fashionable without breaking the bank, Roman Originals has come up with the perfect solution.

Their Blanket Stitch Jacket, priced at £50, provides a chic alternative to pricier options in the market like the £129 wool coat from Arket, which is currently sold out. The Roman jacket boasts the same cosy aesthetic as its high-end equivalent, featuring blanket stitch detailing, long sleeves and a collarless neckline.

Available from Roman now, its neutral tones and the simple yet eye-catching blanket stitch make it an incredibly versatile piece, whether you’re adding a layer for work or dressing casually for brunch. While trends may change, the blanket stitch has a timeless appeal, lending an artisanal touch that sets it apart.

Pair this coat with high-waisted jeans and a plain white tee for a relaxed feel, or wear it over a tailored dress for a sleek, polished look. It’s also perfect for winter layering – team it with a turtleneck, leggings and knee-high boots for a cosy outfit.

As the jacket is a recent addition to Roman’s website, there aren’t any reviews yet, but we’ll update this page if any appear. However, we suspect the quality might not match up to the Arket coat – Roman’s jacket is made from polyester, while Arket’s is crafted from pure wool and cotton, reports the Mirror.

However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, stylish item, Roman’s Blanket Stitch Jacket is a great choice.

For more items featuring blanket stitch detailing, Sezane’s £130 Betty Cardigan is another, more pricey option, complete with chest pockets and a crochet finish. Alternatively, Boohoo’s Contrast Stitch Collared Jacket is a cheaper alternative, now discounted to £32 from £40.
