A lightweight cardigan is a handy item to have on hand, easily rolled up and popped into a handbag for when the temperature drops. The Cotton Blend Textured Cropped Cardigan from Marks and Spencer is perfect for this transitional season, offering warmth without bulk.

Features and colours

Available in mango orange, soft green, 'Brandy' brown, and light cream, the cardigan features a crochet-style finish and short sleeves, making it ideal for warmer weather. It comes in sizes XS to XL, is made from a cotton blend, and has a slim fit with a stylish cropped length. The textured fabric is designed to skim over lumps and bumps, providing a flattering silhouette.

Shopper reviews

The cardigan has received a 4.7-star rating from 20 reviews. One shopper described it as a 'summer hit' that adds a pop of colour to white jeans. Another praised its fit, saying: 'I'm 5ft so being cropped fits perfectly... The sleeves hide a multitude of flaws in the upper arms.' They also noted that the ribbed fabric is subtle and doesn't cling to lumps and bumps. A third reviewer called it a 'handy little cardi' that can be worn into autumn. However, one customer found it too thick for short sleeves and returned it.

Alternatives

For those preferring longer sleeves, Next offers a White Cropped Wide Sleeve Pointelle 100% Cotton Cardigan in white and pink. Roman's Cerise Textured Tie Front Shrug is another option with a tie fastening and vibrant pink hue.
