Shoppers say Marks and Spencer has 'nailed it' with £25 sweatshirt that 'feels fabulous'

Marks & Spencer shoppers have been left impressed by a new women's sweatshirt that has already become a bestseller on the retailer's website.

The Pure Cotton Printed Sweatshirt has been praised as a "perfect" addition to the wardrobe for transitioning from spring to summer weather. The jumper is available in six different styles: in a pink and purple, yellow and green, or blue and pink blend, in dark navy with 'Malibu California' emblazoned across the front, in striped white and blue with 'Bonjour' in writing, or in lime with 'Merci' written on.

The casual wardrobe staple is styled on the M&S website with a dark Denim Jacket, priced at £39.50, and white high-waisted Mom Jeans, which also come with a £39.50 price tag. Available in sizes six to 24, the jumper is priced at £25 and has a rating of 4.3 out of five stars based on nearly 100 reviews from shoppers.

One satisfied customer who bought the jumper said: "Very easy to wear top, nice colours, perfect for summer."

Another shopper who was impressed by the garment wrote in their review: "Great value, great colour, feels fabulous, great fit. Love it."

"Perfect top," a third M&S customer remarked. "Love the colours, the fit is on the big side which I don't mind. Beautiful soft top."

And someone else said: "Love this. Looks good on, nice and casual with jeans. A lot of people have asked where I got it. Think you nailed this M&S."

Others praised the sweatshirt as "bright and cheerful", saying that it "washes well" and was a "great price". However, some shoppers disagreed, with the jumper earning a handful of negative reviews from those who had tried it.

"Disappointed with the quality of material for the price," one person said. Another similarly wrote in their review: "I didn't much like the quality of the material and found the top expensive for what it was."

A couple of shoppers also said that the sizing was too big, while a small percentage of others said that it went "baggy" and "dull" after washing. M&S shoppers should bear in mind that if they can return orders to their nearest store, via post or via collection from home for free, with most items able to be returned within 35 days from purchase if unused.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to make a statement with your sweatshirt this summer, Primark is selling a similar Slogan Print Sweatshirt in three different pink, purple or cream styles for just £6. The budget high street giant doesn't offer online deliveries, but you can use the Primark website to check availability at your nearest store.
