Marks and Spencer shoppers have praised a £22 jumper as ideal for autumn and winter. The Crew Neck Relaxed Jumper with Wool comes in five colours: midnight navy, charcoal, medium beige, blush pink and faded blue. It is available in sizes extra small, small, medium, large and extra large.
Shoppers praise softness and warmth
The product description reads: "This cosy jumper is crafted from yarn with added stretch and a touch of wool for a comfortable feel. It’s designed in a relaxed fit, with dropped shoulders on the long sleeves for a casual look. This piece is complete with a timeless crew neckline and ribbed trims on the cuffs and hem for a neat finish."
The jumper contains 57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool and 3% elastane. One happy shopper said: "So pleased with the soft feel of the jumper that I actually bought another one in blue. Mainly will wear on a daily basis with a shirt and trousers as ideal for autumnal weather."
Another added: "Excellent fit, soft and warm. Ideal for autumn or layered for winter." Someone else commented: "I bought this jumper in a lovely pink colour. It's quite roomy and warm, which is what I want for the colder weather. The price is great too. Looks more expensive than it is."
Sizing concerns raised by some
A fourth wrote: "Winter wardrobe staple... can't go wrong with these." Another customer shared: "Great to wear, comfortable and soft, washes well and keeps it's shape. Great value for money."
Despite the positive reviews, some shoppers have struggled with the sizing. One said: "Much too large. I'm usually a medium 12/14, and even the XS was too large." Another added: "Sorry, not for me. Lovely cosy feel, perfect colour, but even in a small (normally regular), it is much too big, and the sleeves are too long even with the cuffs turned up. Have had to keep it as I wore it briefly once, but prob not wear it again."
Alternatives from Primark and Uniqlo
Someone else commented: "Sleeves too long and wide, therefore unattractive around shoulders, front, and back." A fourth shared: "The sizing is completely out. I usually buy size large, but could have got two of us in there!! Shame, nice sweater."
