Marks & Spencer has reduced the price of its Fairisle Funnel Neck Christmas Jumper by 20 percent, bringing the cost down to £28.80 from £36. The knitwear, which features a traditional Scottish pattern, has been described by shoppers as "the most attractive" and a "wardrobe staple that you can rely on."
The jumper is part of a wider M&S promotion offering 20 percent off a selection of its knitwear, timed as temperatures drop and two storms are forecast. The retailer describes the Fairisle Funnel Neck Christmas Jumper as part of its M&S Collection line, which offers "easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."
A Classic Pattern with a Modern Fit
The standout feature is the seasonal fairisle pattern, which is said to give the Christmas jumper "a classic winter feel." The geometric shapes in multiple colours are named after the Shetland island Fair Isle, where the knitting technique originates. The Princess of Wales is counted as a fan of the classic, multicoloured knitting style.
Crafted with wool content, the jumper is designed to add warmth when temperatures dip. It boasts an easy relaxed fit with added stretch to ensure a comfortable fit that "moves with you." Available in sizes extra small to extra large, the jumper features a neutral grey hue and can be paired with denim jeans and boots or midi skirts and heels.
Shopper Praise and Sizing Feedback
The Fairisle Knit has attracted praise from shoppers, averaging a 4.3 out of five star rating on the M&S website. One delighted shopper wrote: "This fair isle funnel neck Christmas jumper is warm, comfortable and most attractive. The traditional Scottish knitting pattern is in an understated colour palette that complements most self-coloured skirts or trousers, and will be a wardrobe staple that you can rely on. This jumper is a quality buy at an incredibly affordable price. Buy it if you can find it. Good luck!"
A second review read: "This is a truly beautiful jumper. It is lovely, soft and warm and I am very happy with the beautiful design. I simply love wearing it! I recommend this beautiful jumper to all M&S customers!" A third shopper, who dubbed it "a classic," added: "For those of us who covet that Nordic scandi look it is a staple that will take you far beyond, and before Christmas.."
Some shoppers have noted that the sizing can come up a little on the larger side, with some urging others to 'size down' unless they prefer a roomier, oversized fit.

Also available in extra small to extra large, this knit features an overall larger print compared to the funnel neck option.
