Marks & Spencer's Textured Button Front Slim Cropped Cardigan, priced at £40, has earned five-star reviews from shoppers, with one describing it as a "cuddle in a cardigan". The fluffy knit is available in charcoal and light grey, in sizes extra-small to extra-large, and is designed for layering during transitional autumn weather.
Shoppers praise the 'luxurious' cardigan
All reviews on the M&S website so far give the cardigan five stars. One customer wrote: "This is very luxurious and a very good price, will keep for special occasions." Another added: "A cuddle in a cardigan. So soft but looks classic too. Will get a lot of wear out of this."
A further shopper said it was "even nicer than I thought", writing: "Love this cardigan. So soft and feels like it will be quite warm as well as glam. I like the short length, suits my body shape and looks great with wide leg trousers. Have both colours and would like more! Very nice quality."
Design details and styling
The cardigan features a crew neck, slim-fit silhouette, and a slightly cropped shape, making it suitable for pairing with high-waisted jeans or trousers. It is finished with button fastenings and ribbed trims. M&S recommends wearing it with barrel leg trousers and loafers for an autumnal look.
Some customers noted minor drawbacks, with one saying: "I haven't worn it yet, I like it just a shame it's dry clean only." Another commented on the charcoal version's colour: "Lovely fluffy cardigan, which can be worn as a jumper. The colour is not a true grey but slightly brown."
