Here’s what you need to know:
“Looks far more expensive than it is. Gorgeous cardi-jacket, looks excellent with the barrel leg khaki trousers”
New season styles are flowing thick and fast at Marks and Spencer and there’s one ‘gorgeous’ cardigan hailed ‘perfect for spring’ that’s wowed shoppers. Those who have already got their hands on the Cotton Rich Knitted Crew Neck Fringe Cardigan insist it ‘looks a lot more expensive than it is’.
In fact, I think it bares resemblance to Chanel’s iconic tweed jackets – but without the expensive price tag. At £45, the Knitted Fringe Cardigan is a far cry from Chanel’s prices – with tweed jackets from the luxury brand selling for thousands of pounds, on average.
The budget-friendly jacket can be ‘dressed up or down’ depending on the occasion, according to shoppers. On formal occasions it can be styled with a dress or smart trousers and for less fancier events, paired with jeans.

The jacket has been designed in a regular fit and features a timeless crew neckline and secure button fastening. It’s finished off with two mock pockets on the front, as well as fringe detailing on the hem and cuffs.
Similar styles available from M&S include a £39.50 Cotton Rich Pointelle V-Neck Tie Front Relaxed Cardigan and the £35 Cotton Rich Textured V-Neck Relaxed Cardigan. Or there’s the £35 Cotton Rich Textured Cardigan.
The versatile style is clearly popular, earning an average rating of 4.2 out five and it’s available in cream or navy. Reviewing the £45 Cotton Rich Knitted Crew Neck Fringe Cardigan, one shopper said: “I’m so pleased with this cardigan. I’ve had so many compliments.”
A second reviewer replied: “Lovely cardigan, good quality. It could be worn dressed up with a dress or smart trousers or dressed down with jeans. Love it.”
Another fan wrote: “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.”
A shopper added: “Looks far more expensive than it is. Gorgeous cardi-jacket, looks excellent with the barrel leg khaki trousers. 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, five stars.”
However, someone else thought: “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.”
Commenting on the sizing, a different shopper replied: “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.”
A reviewer agreed: “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.”
Elsewhere, New Look offers a Cream Open Knit Button Detail Cardigan for £26.99, Next offers a Sosandar Natural Fringe Trim Boucle Cardigan for £75, and Debenhams offers a Dexia Sophisticated Navy Cardigan for £32.90.
