Marks & Spencer shoppers are loving a new summer release that pairs perfectly with jeans, shorts, skirts, and more. The Cotton Blend Textured Cropped Cardigan features a trendy crochet-style weave and a cropped length that just meets the waist.
Cardigan Details and Colours
Priced at £34, this cotton blend cardigan comes in four summer colours: mango, brandy, light cream, and soft green. With short sleeves and a button-up fastening, it can be worn as a top or as a light layer over a vest top. Sizes range from extra small to extra large, with most shoppers agreeing it fits true to size.
Customer Reviews
One five-star review reads: "Great price and quality. Added the right pop of colour to white jeans - another summer hit." Another impressed buyer said: "This is a lovely little cardigan, short sleeved and shorter length too. Love the green colour. Perfect to wear casual or dress up." A third shopper added: "Lovely cardi, get loads of compliments. Someone thought it was hand knitted."
However, one buyer found the cardigan too thick for this time of year: "Too heavy for a summer cardigan. The cardigan was much too thick and heavy to have short sleeves. Unfortunately had to return it."
Alternative Options
Roman offers the Crochet Knit Cardigan for £35 in ivory and orange, a bohemian-style option with long sleeves and intricate crochet detailing. Next has the Sunshine Soul Black Crochet Boxy Bomber Jacket for £34, described as a 'summery twist on the classic bomber jacket', available in white and black multicoloured options.
