M&S shoppers hail £18 'very warm' jumper in 9 colours

Marks and Spencer shoppers are praising the retailer's Air-Yarn Crew Neck Jumper, priced at £18, describing it as 'very warm' and 'perfect for autumn'. The garment is currently M&S's top-selling item across its entire knitwear collection.

The retailer describes the jumper as follows: "Crafted from Air-Yarn, this jumper is exceptionally soft and lightweight, yet warm too. It's designed in a regular fit, with a classic crew neck. Ribbed cuffs and hem add a neat finishing touch to this classic and versatile piece."

Shopper reviews and favourite shades

Available in nine colours, the dark aubergine and bitter chocolate shades appear to be firm favourites among reviewers on the website. One delighted customer wrote: "Lovely and soft, perfect fit, bought in various colours. I am petite, but size 12 and small is perfect. Love the gorgeous range of different colours."

Another satisfied shopper added: "This air yarn crew neck looks and feels like a luxurious soft woollen jumper. It's incredibly cosy, comfortable to wear, great value, and washes well. I have since gone back to buy another colour too. Perfect to take me through autumn and winter."

A third shopper remarked: "Beautiful jumper, washes beautifully; it's stylish, minimalist, smart or casual. I adore this jumper. I also have it in brown." A fourth customer noted: "Classic, stylish jumper. I find air yarn very comfortable to wear and has enough stretch to keep its shape well."

Sizing concerns and alternatives

While many were full of praise for the knitwear, some customers raised concerns about the sizing. One reviewer explained: "This jumper is a good basic jumper for autumn and into the cooler months. Fits and drapes well, the fabric is supersoft. I find the neckline a bit too tight/high in these jumpers."

Those seeking alternatives for the autumn months might consider Matalan's newly launched crew-neck jumpers, priced at just £16 and offered in four comparable shades. Alternatively, for £26, Next stocks a Long Sleeve Crew Neck Cosy Knit Jumper, available in classic chocolate brown alongside five additional colourways: grey, grey/green, wine/pink, red, and blue. Both regular and petite fits are on offer.
