Marks & Spencer has launched a new everyday staple, the Crew Neck Short Knitted Top With Wool, priced at £20, which shoppers are already hailing as a work staple. The top features a smart/casual look with a T-shirt-style design and slim fit, available in four colours: black, dark aubergine, mid grey marl, and medium beige.
Sizes range from extra small to extra large. Despite being newly listed on the site, the knitted crew neck has received glowing reviews from shoppers.
Shopper reviews praise fit and versatility
One shopper said: "Really like this top for Autumn, it fits well not too short or too long. Soft material and like the beige colour, looks good with jeans, could be tempted to get in another colour." Another pleased buyer commented: "Lovely colour (beige) and I think a slightly generous fit. I went for medium and it fits well, with space to tuck in to jeans at the front if you want to - which I often do. Great transitional piece which I'm looking forward to wearing when the weather cools down end summer/early autumn."
A third shopper added: "Great work staple. Suitable for colder days as the wool is quite thick. Colour is lovely too." However, one buyer returned the top due to sizing, saying: "Lovely cropped jumper, but comes up small. I’m usually a M with M&S and this felt too tight so returning and may size up as it is nice."
