Finding outfits ideal for casual occasions but dressy enough to become a holiday evening staple can be tricky. But M&S has come up with a great option for a reasonable price. The Cotton Rich Crochet-Style Scoop Neck Knitted Vest has received glowing reviews from shoppers who praised the top for its versatility.
Product Details
Priced at £24, shoppers have the choice of two colours. Marmelade is a gorgeous bright orange, a perfect summery colour that pairs well with linen pants while blonde is an off-white neutral, and ideal for working with most outfits. Both boast a stylish scoop neckline and are described as 'flattering'.
The top is also available in five sizes: extra small, small, medium, large and extra large. If you are unsure of your size, it's worth checking the M&S guide to make sure.

More Positive Feedback
