Hundreds of M&S shoppers are buying ‘Chanel-inspired’ jacket that ‘looks expensive’

M&S’ fashion range has grown from merely the clothing section of a UK supermarket, to a fashion destination.

Shoppers can now get on-trend pieces at the same time as their weekly shop, and some of the brand’s pieces have even gone viral over the last year.

Much of the clothing range combines quality and affordability, with plenty to choose from for under £50, and some more premium options too.

Hundreds of M&S fans have discovered the Cotton Blend Textured Knitted Jacket, a piece that’s as handy for work as it is for dressed-up occasions.

While M&S has become more trend-focused than it was previously, for cost-per-wear it is still best to invest in timeless pieces that can be worn in many different ways.

The cardigan, although a popular style, is classic, with a textured woven fabric and gold buttons adding classy detailing that can dress up any outfit.

It comes in a choice of four colours – cappuccino, black and ivory, plus the original navy, which has since sold out.

The jacket taps into the ‘old money’ trend which involves creating timeless outfits from high street brands that look expensive and put together.

M&S shoppers are leaving their feedback on the knitted jacket, with some calling it ‘very stylish’.

minn123 said: ”True to size, very well-made, looks expensive, very stylish.”

Geraldu commented: ”This is a lovely Chanel-inspired cardigan/jacket. My only complaint is the length of the sleeves as they are FAR too long for my rather short arms. The short length of the jacket is lovely for short or taller people.”

Some reviewers felt that the jacket was more suited to warmer weather due to the cotton content, so those looking for a heavy-duty option to wrap up in for the current temperatures may prefer a cardigan with wool content, like the Mango Cuna Textured Button Cardigan.
