Marks and Spencer shoppers have praised the retailer's Vest with Linen, calling it “versatile” and a “summer staple.” Priced at £20 and available in sizes 6 to 24, the vest comes in beige, white, black, and dark marine.
Design and Fabric
The product description highlights its breathable linen fabric for a cool feel, a regular fit, a round neckline, and a sleeveless silhouette. A button and keyhole fastening at the back adds a neat finish. The vest is made of 15% linen and 85% viscose.
Customer Reactions
Many customers have shared glowing reviews. One said, “Love, love, love these vests. Perfect cut and very stylish. I have I.T. in multiple colours.” Another added, “It fits beautifully and is lovely soft linen and washes great.” A third commented, “Very comfy and cool in the weather we have had. Ideal.”
Another customer wrote, “The top is very nice and comfortable just what I needed for the hot weather it fits nice and a nice length too.” One shopper described them as “Perfect little tops! Versatile & great value. I've bought both the Black & White colours.” Another echoed, “Love the fit, feel like this is going to be my summer staple.”
Sizing Concerns
Despite the positive feedback, some customers have raised issues with fit and sizing. One remarked, “Too short it was, neither cropped nor regular length, just somewhere in between, and didn't look right with any trousers or jeans.” Another added, “I love the look of the tops, but the sizes are very small in big size & not worth the money honestly.”
A further customer noted, “The sizing is all over the place with these tops. I ordered the blue and the white in size 10, and the blue fit perfectly, but the white was too small. I reordered the white in a 10 and a 12, and they are both exactly the same size as each other.”
