M&S £36 embellished cardigan shoppers call 'perfect' for Christmas

Shoppers are rushing to buy a £36 embellished cardigan from Marks & Spencer that has been described as "perfect" for the Christmas party season. The textured cardigan comes in two shades: candy pink and a neutral cream, and is available in sizes XS through XL.

The cardigan features a flattering crew neckline and, when buttoned up, is thick enough to be worn on its own like a jumper. It also has a press stud at the neck that allows layering, letting garments underneath show through when used alone. The most eye-catching feature is the embellished collar, which adds sparkle without being over the top, elevating the cardigan from simple to glamorous.

Shopper reviews praise quality and versatility

One M&S customer who bought the cardigan said: "The dusky pink is a lovely shade and I’m looking forward to wearing the cardigan when going out and Christmas as it’s dressy enough but not too bling." Another shopper said she planned to wear it "with jeans or a black satin skirt," while another described it as having a "Parisian chic" feel. Someone else said the versatility makes it "well worth the money."

Although the cardigan is made from polyester and acrylic rather than real wool, customers have praised its quality and warmth. A customer who bought the pink version as a Christmas present for her daughter said: "I was very pleased with the quality. It's warm but not too thick, and the colour, a mid-pink, is lovely. The embellishment around the neck just sets it off. I was so impressed that I bought the cream one as well."

Festive favourite with high demand

The cardigan is currently in stock in all sizes, but some shoppers have said they do not think it will be long before it sells out. It has already received 52 five-star reviews. Many shoppers have said they have added the item to their festive wardrobe. One customer wrote: "I’ve bought this cardigan to wear over the Christmas period. Looking forward to wearing it soon." Another said: "Lovely item - had to have it - ready for the festive season which will be upon us before we know it!"

"This cardigan is just perfect," said a third. They added: "Lovely detail around the neck and really soft and comfy to wear. Purchased in readiness for Christmas." However, one potential drawback is that the embellishments may catch on the knit, and M&S specifies that the cardigan can only be washed by hand.
