M&S shoppers hail £26 top as 'flattering and perfect for summer'

Marks and Spencer customers have described a top as "comfortable" and perfect for summer. The high street retailer offers numerous fashion choices, yet one has captured the interest of many shoppers.

The Pure Cotton Pointelle Knitted Vest costs £26 and is available in light natural or light Wedgewood. Marks and Spencer's vest is offered in sizes extra small, small, medium, large and extra large. The description states: "This pure cotton knitted vest is all about delicate texture.

"It's designed in a flattering slim fit, with an elegant scoop neckline. The airy pointelle knit is complemented by scalloped trims for playful finish."

It has received numerous glowing reviews from buyers. One remarked: "Super pretty summer vest. I bought this in blue, it's very pretty and comfortable, so soft. On trend crochet too, very happy with purchase."

Another commented: "Love this top, bought both colours, fits well and looks so nice."

Someone else noted: "I specifically bought this top to go with linen trousers. It is a lovely top, just the right length for me and true to size."

A fourth stated: "Lovely style, light, soft, natural material. Will wear for years in summer."

One buyer shared: "Lovely crochet top- perfect for summer! Read the reviews saying it was a boxy shape, but didn't find it so.

"(Perhaps it depends on the sizing too). I would say it is true to size, although I do find the S, M, L rather than dress sizing a bit hit and miss. Looking forward to wearing it on holiday in the warm evenings - and hopefully here too!" Another wrote: "Lovely loose fit. Very flattering top, especially for larger chests."

Some customers have encountered difficulties with sizing, with one noting: "Quality good but far too small for a medium size product."

Another added: "Lovely colour looks good, but goes quite big and baggy after wearing just once. I bought a medium. I'm a size 12, wish I bought a small."

A further shopper remarked: "Great colour, lovely design, but size way out. Had a cut label, so can't return. Ordered a smaller one."

Marks and Spencer isn't the sole retailer stocking crochet vests perfect for the summer months. Next offers a Crochet Knit Floral Tank in white, purple multi, chocolate brown and blue multi for £29.

The garment is available in sizes extra small through to extra large, with the choice of regular or tall fitting. Meanwhile, Matalan stocks a Crochet Vest Top in white or black for £18, spanning sizes 8 to 22.
