Marks and Spencer's 'luxurious' £35 jumper in five colours is 'like cashmere' and the 'perfect' staple for autumn and winter

Marks and Spencer has been praised for a £35 pure merino wool jumper that has been hailed as 'luxurious', and is a budget alternative to more expensive cashmere styles as the autumn and winter months approach. The affordable M&S Collection jumper is 'warm and snuggly' as well as being a timeless classic that can be worn time and time again.

The £35 autumn and winter piece is crafted from a premium pure merino wool fabric, which makes the fine-knit jumper a luxurious choice when the weather turns chilly. It's designed in a regular fit and features a crew neckline for a smart look.

Because of its simple yet elegant design, the jumper can easily be paired with almost any skirt and tights or pair of trousers for an easy outfit suitable for working at the office or for more upmarket occasions. It has ribbed trims at the neck, while cuffs and hem offer a neat finishing touch.

The £35 M&S Collection Pure Merino Wool Jumper comes in sizes 6 to 24, and five colourways. Fashion fans can choose from Cappuccino, Black, Orange, Navy and Electric Blue.

The £35 jumper has a perfect five-star rating on the Marks and Spencer website. One M&S customer was so impressed by it, she's bought various jumpers in different colours.

She said: "I bought 2 of these sweaters. They are gorgeous a nice heavy winter weight. I will buy a couple more when there are other colours avaliable."

For a similar style on a tighter budget, Superdry has slashed the price of its High Neck Merino Knit Jumper from £54.99 to £27.50. Elsewhere, Ted Baker's Engineered Knit Sweater is now £46 instead of £145 - a huge saving.
