Spring weather is yet to come but shoppers have mastered the skill of layering when it comes to dressing for the ever-changing weather, and a cardigan is quinessentially important when it comes to transeasonal wear.

Made with acrylic, polyester and wool, the cardigan has added stretch to ensure « all-day comfort » with a length that sits below waist line. The item has amassed 88 reviews online, with the majority of buyers saying it fits « true to size ».

A third enjoyed matching the jacket as her work ensemble, adding: « It looks really smart with a nice pair of black trousers, nice quality too. »
Not everyone found it fitted great, as one customer said it’s « far too large and the colour didn’t suit » so she decided to return the piece. Another didn’t like the length of the jacket, saying: « Loved the style and the fabric, it was really short. It looked like it shrunk in the wash, I wish it was a couple inches longer. »
