Marks and Spencer shoppers praise 'gorgeous' Christmas jumper that 'brightens up winter days'
by Catherine Addison-Swan · ChronicleLiveMarks and Spencer shoppers have fallen in love with a "gorgeous" Christmas jumper for its striking look as well as its soft and cosy feel.
The Fairisle Crew Neck Jumper is one of the bestselling festive fashion choices at the high street retailer right now, with its traditional design sure to brighten up any dull and dreary winter days. Priced at £35 and available in either bold red or classic brown, the jumper sports a Fair Isle-style diamond pattern on its top half, with cable knit and bobble detailing adding a stylish textured finish.
Perfect for any occasion over the festive season whether it's dressed up with a sequin skirt and heels or down with jeans and boots, the jumper comes in sizes extra small to extra large and has earned dozens of rave reviews from M&S shoppers. With an overall rating of 4.7 out of five stars, fans praised the winter wardrobe staple as "very comfortable and warm", saying it "looks more expensive than it is".
One reviewer raved: "I absolutely adore this jumper and cannot wait to wear it. I chose the red colour and am so pleased I did, it is just the job for a cool dull day - it will brighten everywhere up superbly. It feels so warm and cosy."
Another agreed: "Gorgeously soft and and looks so much better than the photo. You would easily pay twice the price for something similar. I love it and will wear it for years - it's a timeless classic."
A third shopper praised: "It's in a beautiful red ideal for Christmas and cold weather. Excellent price, great value and looks fabulous - this will cheer up Christmastime. I love the material and it can go in the washing machine. A great product. and definitely a great gift as well."
And someone else said: "Delighted with this lovely jumper. Fits beautifully, soft and luxurious."
Overall, around three in every four M&S shoppers awarded the jumper a full five-star rating, with others commenting that it was their "new go-to" for the winter months and praising its design as "sophisticated". However, some reviewers fed back that the garment was "much thicker" than they had expected it to be, resulting in a "bulky" look.
"Beautiful soft jumper but much thicker than I expected it to be. Need some much colder weather for this one," one customer advised.
For a similar look elsewhere on the high street, John Lewis offers the Fair Isle Wool Blend Knit Jumper for £49, while Next has the Red Fairisle Pattern Knitted Christmas Jumper for £39 - and a matching Dog Jumper is available too. Or for a more high-end option, new in at Seasalt Cornwall is the Percella Cove Fair Isle Jumper, which comes in five eye-catching colours and is priced at £95.95.
