‘It looks much more expensive than it was’
With spring right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start adding to your seasonal wardrobe. And to mark the transition between the two periods, lightweight cardigans are both a stylish and practical option.
Marks and Spencer offers a wide range, including the £30 Cotton Rich Textured Cropped Cardigan, which is flying off the shelves according to the retailer. Available in sizes XS to XL, it comes in black mix and golden brown – although the latter is currently out of stock online.
The cotton-rich garment is cut a flattering slim fit, with a cropped hem. It’s finished with a crew neckline, smart rib-knit trims and contrast buttons.

A third commented: “Very stylish little cardigan, I’ve bought it in both colours and love both! I think they will look great going into spring/summer with both jeans and smarter trousers.”
There has been very little criticism of the piece, with the lowest rating being three stars, but some customers complained about the fit: “I’m very disappointed with this garment. It is very boxy and huge, absolutely shapeless.”
Alternatively, there’s the £49 Isabella Short Sleeve Cardi from White Stuff. Crafted from 100 per cent cotton, it’s available in blue multi, mid green and mid blue.
