With four sizes available, I picked up a medium in-store and tried it on with these in mocha (£39.50). My eyes beamed when I saw the outfit on, the oatmeal brown cardigan complemented the mocha trousers perfectly. and I was glad it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.
I couldn’t stop admiring the top, but one qualm for me is the fit. Despite M&S claiming the cardigan is designed in a regular fit, I found it too long and loose at the bottom, so a small might have given me a better shape. But one shopper disagreed and said: “It fits perfectly, wasn’t too tight, but wasn’t loose that it looked baggy, a really nice fit.”

A second happy customer said she has received many compliments despite making one alteration to the cardigan: “This was an online impulse buy for myself, initially I was unsure of the style for a mature lady, but it’s so I went for it. So pleased I did, the short boxy style and fit is very flattering, better than expected. The only thing I’m not keen on are the gold buttons so i have replaced these with small brown wood looking ones and I’ve had so many compliments.”
Another bought the M&S cardigan and found it ‘perfect for high waist style trousers, slim or wide leg’ and said it’s: “ideal for autumn into spring”. Short-sleeved cardigans are great transeasonal pieces and shoppers can also grab for £34.
