Marks and Spencer's 'gorgeous' £45 cardigan has been making waves among shoppers, hailed as 'perfect for spring'. The Cotton Rich Knitted Crew Neck Fringe Cardigan is a hit with fashion enthusiasts who believe it 'looks far more expensive than it is.' Reviewers have praised the 'lovely' cardigan for its versatility, noting that it 'could be worn dressed up with a dress or smart trousers or dressed down with jeans.'

With an impressive average rating of 4.2/5, the cardigan is available in both cream and navy, appealing to a range of tastes. The product description from M&S highlights that the cardigan 'adds a touch of texture to your outfits', featuring a regular fit, a 'timeless' crew neckline, secure button fastenings, mock pockets at the front, and fringe detailing on the hem and cuffs, reports the Mirror.

For those interested in similar styles, M&S offers a variety of options including a £39.50 Cotton Rich Pointelle V-Neck Tie Front Relaxed Cardigan, a £35 Cotton Rich Textured V-Neck Relaxed Cardigan, and a £35 Cotton Rich Textured Cardigan.

Feedback on the £45 Cotton Rich Knitted Crew Neck Fringe Cardigan has been overwhelmingly positive, with one shopper commenting: "I'm so pleased with this cardigan. I've had so many compliments!" Another satisfied customer added: "Lovely cardigan, good quality. It could be worn dressed up with a dress or smart trousers or dressed down with jeans. Love it."

One fan said: "I really like this cardigan/jacket - it's perfect for spring. I'm quite tall (5'10") and the sleeves were a great length on me." Another shopper chimed in: "Looks far more expensive than it is. Gorgeous cardi-jacket, looks excellent with the barrel leg khaki trousers."

Someone else wrote: "Good value and true to M&S sizing. I like it so much I've just bought the navy colour too. It looks so much more expensive than it costs! Good stuff M&S, 5 stars."

However, another customer had a different take: "Lovely navy jacket that looks more expensive than it is. The navy is a dark navy/black and is much smarter than the cream version which had cheap looking glitter thread in it."

On the topic of fit, a different buyer noted: "I bought both colours as exactly what I wanted, really nice, great price - but sadly the sleeves are way too long, they cant be altered due to the fringing. Also the cuffs are really wide, wizard like. Gutted."

Another reviewer concurred: "I really like this. It's a combination of a jacket and cardigan, with a slight metallic thread in the weave. It's really lovely but sadly I'm sending it back as the sleeves are so long and wide, as another person said. It would look much better with a bracelet length sleeve."
