It’s becoming a recurring theme that some shoppers seem to want their festive looks to feel Christmassy, but still be versatile for year-round wear, and this definitely does just that.

Designed in a comfy regular fit, with a round neckline and button-through front, it boasts deep cuffs and a slight puff sleeve, enhancing the elevated look. The M&S knit has earned itself plenty of five-star reviews from shoppers who have said it’s perfect for dressing any outfit up or down this December.

One said: “Sparkly but subtle! As someone who doesn’t do all out glitz and sequins this was an ideal purchase and. Will be worn with cream trousers, as shown on your model. Good price too.”

Another added: “Great little , not too sparkly so can be worn after Christmas. Ideal for wearing with a skirt or over a dress. I also have the black one. Good fit, ordered my usual size 10 and fit was spot on”

“A well fitting and smart item which could be dressed up or down,” commented a third, while another agreed: “A fab , well done M&S. Fits well, not too sparkly but enough to dress up any outfit.”

Some have said the sizing is on the smaller size so they’ve sized up for comfort, but many say it ‘looks more expensive’ than its suggests, commenting: “Nice and Xmasy, can see this getting some wear. Looks more expensive than the price. Quite small so I needed a 16.”

“I bought this on a whim, it fits well comfy to wear,” penned another. “Adds a bit of glamour to wear over the festive season.”

Another gorgeous winter wardrobe addition loved by a Loose Woman is this embellished cardigan from River Island, as seen on Frankie Bridge, while Rochelle Humes' red dress is a serious Christmas Day contender.
