M&S £22 Jumper Praised as 'So Soft' for Autumn

Marks and Spencer shoppers have praised the retailer's £22 Crew Neck Relaxed Jumper with Wool, describing it as ideal for autumn and winter. The jumper is available in five colours: midnight navy, charcoal, medium beige, blush pink, and faded blue.

Shopper Feedback on Fit and Feel

The jumper comes in sizes extra small to extra large. 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 is composed of 57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool and 3% elastane. One delighted customer 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." A third person 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."

Some Buyers Report Sizing Issues

A fourth customer remarked: "Winter wardrobe staple... can't go wrong with these." Another shopper noted: "Great to wear, comfortable and soft, washes well and keeps it's shape. Great value for money."

However, despite the glowing feedback, some buyers have encountered issues with the fit. One explained: "Much too large. I'm usually a medium 12/14, and even the XS was too large." Another commented: "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."

A third person stated: "Sleeves too long and wide, therefore unattractive around shoulders, front, and back." Another buyer added: "The sizing is completely out. I usually buy size large, but could have got two of us in there! Shame, nice sweater."
