Spring weather is yet to come but shoppers have mastered the skill of layering when it comes to dressing for the ever-changing weather, and a cardigan is quinessentially important when it comes to transeasonal wear.
We have shifted from “old money cardis” to a more classy, timeless style and this Marks & Spencer Collared Neck Relaxed Fit Knitted Jacket is one that has been loved by shoppers. The £29.50 piece, available in trendy Mocha, Dark Grey, Ivoy and Dusted Lilac, caters to size 8 to 26.
The knitted jacket is crafted from air-spun yarn for a feather-light feel. It completes with a smart collarted neckline, tortoise shell buttons and two front pockets for an effortlessly stylish silhouette.
Made with acrylic, polyester and wool, the cardigan has added stretch to ensure “all-day comfort” with a length that sits below waist line. The item has amassed 88 reviews online, with the majority of buyers saying it fits “true to size”.
One said: “Lovely jacket which I will get a lot of use from. Looks more expensive than it is.”
“Absolutely love this jacket/cardigan, it’s so soft and warm and stylish too, I’ve only worn it once and had loads of compliments, I ordered a medium I’m a 10/12 it’s quite oversized I loved it that much I’ve ordered it in grey but in a small, honestly I totally recommend it (I haven’t washed it yet but other reviews say it washed nice so fingers crossed)z,” a second detailed.
A third enjoyed matching the jacket as her work ensemble, adding: “It looks really smart with a nice pair of black trousers, nice quality too.”
Not everyone found it fitted great, as one customer said it’s “far too large and the colour didn’t suit” so she decided to return the piece. Another didn’t like the length of the jacket, saying: “Loved the style and the fabric, it was really short. It looked like it shrunk in the wash, I wish it was a couple inches longer.”
The M&S knitted jacket is available to purchase at £29.50 and if you prefer a collarless style, Uniqlo’s Souffle Yarn V Neck Short Cardigan comes with 10 colours in a similar style and it retails at £29.90.
Next is selling a 100% Lambswool Button Up Cardigan for £48 and it features thick ribbed trims and hems, as well as raglan sleeves instead of pockets.
