Marks and Spencer shoppers have been snapping up a 'lightweight' jacket that's ideal for the upcoming spring weather. The Collared Neck Relaxed Fit Knitted Jacket, which is available in three versatile colours, has proven so popular that the mocha shade is currently sold out.
However, it remains available in ivory, dark grey and dusted lilac, and is listed as a 'bestseller' on the Marks and Spencer website. The relaxed fit jacket features button fastening, a collared neck and a ribbed trim, and is made with added stretch for comfort.
It has been styled with straight leg jeans and a simple T-shirt on the M&S website. The full product description reads: "Slip into softness with this knitted jacket, crafted from air-spun yarn for a feather-light feel. The relaxed fit and smart collared neckline create an effortlessly stylish silhouette. Added stretch ensures all-day comfort, while chest patch pockets and ribbed trims add a touch of laid-back charm. M&S Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."
The jacket has received a 4.7 out of 5 rating in the product reviews, with many customers praising its 'classic' style. One particularly positive review read: "Great for spring. Lovely soft cardigan. Fits perfect. Great buy looks like a little jacket. Can dress it up or down," reports the Liverpool Echo.
One satisfied customer shared, "I love this cardigan, it's incredibly cosy and comfortable but looks chic and put together. I'm really surprised to see most people say it's true to size. I'm a 10/12 and sized down to XS to get a fit like the model. My usual size M looked baggy and over-sized, not just relaxed like the description. It washes well. Dries fast and didn't change shape/size."
Another added, "Bought for work, looks very smart. Nice and warm for recent cold weather. Paired with long black trousers." A third pleased buyer commented, "Lovely knitted jacket great fit and colour love it."
It's worth mentioning that several reviews highlighted the item's generous sizing, suggesting that customers might consider ordering a smaller size due to its oversized nature. The lightweight jacket is available for purchase at £29.50 here.
For those interested in a different style, Uniqlo offers the PUFFERTECH Relaxed Jacket at a discounted price of £49.90, down from £59.90, but the deal ends on March 2.
