Marks and Spencer's £24 V Neck Button Front Relaxed Cardigan has drawn praise from shoppers who describe it as "beautiful" and "so comfy for everyday" wear. The autumn staple is available in black or ruby red across sizes extra small to extra large.
Shoppers praise comfort and value
The retailer's description reads: "This relaxed fit cardigan from M&S has a V-neck and closes with buttons down the front for easy layering. Ribbed trim finishes the edges, while added stretch in the fabric gives a comfortable, flexible feel. It's an easy layer to throw over tops or dresses."
One customer commented: "Lovely for everyday wear as it's a good shape. Nice fit and looks smart." Another added: "Love, super cosy, looks great casual with jeans or dressed up over a dress."
A further shopper noted: "Such a beautiful winter rich warm ruby red colour. A nice weight for times when you don't want a heavy knit. It's a nice boxy shape and could substitute for a jacket. Casual with jeans or formal with trousers or a dress, pop a brooch on. Good price."
Mixed feedback on fit and fabric
Not all reviews were positive, with some customers raising concerns about sizing and material quality. One remarked: "Love the colour and V-neck. I expected this boxy type to be roomy, but it came up huge. Returning for a smaller size maybe."
Another stated: "This is too short and too wide, which demographic are you aiming for? You can see that after a wash or two it will be twice the size it is now. Shame because so few of your clothes come in red." A further shopper said: "I bought this week to throw on in the house. It's pulling already, as all M&S jumpers seem to do lately."
