Design and customer reviews
Finished with a button fastening and crewneck fit, the cardigan has received an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5, with shoppers complimenting it on being ideal to dress up or down.
The full product description reads: "Keep warm in cosy style with this furry cardigan. The fluffy design is crafted in a slim fit, layering beautifully over a vest top or t-shirt. It's made with a crew neck and cut to a cropped shape, so it's the ideal companion to a pair of high-waisted jeans. A button fastening and ribbed trims complete the piece. M&S Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."
A five-star review of the cardigan says: "This cardigan is perfect. Good length to wear with skirts or trousers. Warm enough to wear on its own or with a blouse. Once the weather gets cold I will be wearing this with all my clothes. I bought it in the cream. Very soft and cosy."
