Marks and Spencer's £16 Wool Touch Semi Sheer Layering Roll Neck Top, available in six colours, has been praised by shoppers as 'fabulous for layering' under jumpers or cardigans as Britain braces for a harsh winter.
After recent stormy weather brought torrential downpours and cold temperatures to many parts of the country, shoppers are snapping up the budget-friendly top, priced at £16. It is available in sizes extra small to extra large.
Six colour options and silk-like feel
The Wool Touch Semi Sheer Layering Roll Neck Top comes in black, grey and vanilla, as well as scarlet, aqua and brown mix for those wanting a pop of colour. Described as feeling 'like silk', the wool-touch roll neck is part of Marks and Spencer's collection celebrating 100 years of fashion.
Cut to a regular fit with long sleeves and a soft, cosy handle, it layers easily under knitwear or works on its own. The versatile design allows it to be styled with jeans or smart trousers for the office, or paired with a skirt or under a dress for added warmth.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
The top boasts an overall star-rating of 4.2 out of five based on 40 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Fabulous for layering, it gives just that bit more under a crew neck jumper or cardigan." Another wrote: "This top is very fine, excellent for under a jumper or cardigan for extra warmth in winter. Lovely colour too."
A third reviewer added: "I've bought this top in three different colours now. I love it, it's got a lovely soft feel to it and a good amount of stretch and is great for layering or on its own. Perfect sleeve and body length."
However, not all reviews were positive. One shopper gave it a three-star review, saying: "It's a no. I found this came up small and I have not reordered, the neck just wont sit right." A two-star review mentioned: "Styling as expected. But very thin material, will wear as a base layer but not quite what I was hoping for."
Despite this, another five-star review read: "I have bought three in different colours. I am very pleased with them, not least because of the astonishingly low price. I have very sensitive skin and they are very soft to the touch, they almost feel like silk. It is true that the cream version is quite sheer but as I intend to layer it that isn't a problem for me."
