Marks and Spencer's Wool Touch Layering Slim Collared Polo Shirt, priced at £16, is being praised by shoppers as 'ideal for layering' under coats and jumpers. The top, made with wool, is available in four colours and sizes extra small to extra large: black, neutral, scarlet, and navy.
Design and Fit
The top is cut in a classic regular fit from a lyocell-rich fabric with a hint of wool for a cosy feel. It features a smart collared neckline and a five-button placket running down the centre. Its neat cut allows it to be worn on its own on milder days or paired under a jumper on colder days, making it suitable for the office or weekend errands.
Shopper Reviews
The top has received half a dozen five-star reviews so far. One shopper said: "Very soft, warm, lightweight top. Good to wear under jacket." Another wrote: "I bought all three colours of these as it’s hard to get high neck tops that can go under jumpers and tank tops without being bulky. Had to size up but think they’re great value for money. Fabric feels expensive - extra star for how light they are for packing."
A third reviewer added: "Feels amazing, looks great. I love a layering piece. This has a lovely stretch and looks great worn over a white T-shirt with dark denim. However, it would work equally well with a formal skirt or trouser. Perfect for now and autumn/winter."
Mixed Feedback
Some shoppers were less impressed, with one four-star review noting: "A little thinner material than expected but still excellent value for money." Another said: "Very comfortable but it is a very skinny fit. Also a bit short (and I'm only 5ft 3ins)."
Nevertheless, others loved their purchase, with one shopper adding: "Lovely comfortable warm top. Very useful for autumn days. Love the colour." Another five-star review reads: "Delicate material but looks good. Not clingy, might try the other colours. I was lucky enough to get this one with 20% off."
