Shoppers have praised Marks and Spencer's £20 Vest with Linen as ideal for summer, describing it as 'light and airy' with a 'cool and comfortable feel'. The vest, available in sizes 6 to 24, comes in dark marine, black, white, or beige.
Design and Fabric
Crafted from 15% linen and 85% viscose, the vest features a regular fit, a timeless round neckline, and a sleeveless silhouette. A button and keyhole fastening at the back adds a neat finish.
Shopper Reviews
Positive reviews highlight its versatility and style. One shopper said: "Bought this for holiday and [it] is perfect, light and airy for hot weather. Am 5ft and is great to be able to buy a top that is not too long, and is true to size."
Another added: "Simplicity of this top is what makes it so stylish and smart. Makes an outfit look more polished." Others praised it as a "stylish capsule piece for the summer" and noted they loved it in multiple colours.
Mixed Feedback
However, some customers reported issues with sizing and quality. One said: "Returned the item due to poor quality. Disappointing." Another commented: "Nice top but sadly too cropped for me and sizing is not quite right, a bit on the small side."
A third reviewer noted: "Material feels nice and soft, and the colour is perfect to match the linen trousers M&S sell, BUT the sizing is awful, I’m a size 12/14 on top, so I ordered a 14, it looked so small, more like a size 8/10 and looked short."
