With spring in the air and Mother's Day just around the corner, M&S shoppers have been raving about a 'lovely' cardigan that's ideal for gifting. The Cotton Rich Textured Cropped Cardigan is easy to layer up with a jacket on cooler days and can be worn alone with jeans, trousers or even a maxi skirt come warmer days ahead.

Fashion enthusiastsrate the item - which comes in two colours - having awarded it a near-perfect review score of 4.7 out of five stars on the M&S website. One who titled their review 'perfect for spring' said: "I like this style, not too long and the colour will go well with cream trousers."

The cardigan currently retails for £30 at Marks & Spencer, but we've found a way savvy shoppers can treat the mother figure in their lives (or even themselves) to this stylish top for less. We can reveal that shoppers can effectively save on the item when purchasing it using cashback website TopCashback.

Alternatively, at New Look the Blue Relaxed Striped Button Through Cardigan costs £19.99 and can be purchased in three wearable shades.

Meanwhile, back at M&S, and fans have left the Cotton Rich Textured Cropped Cardigan rave reviews. One commented: "Lovely cardigan for cooler days in summer. Looks more expensive than it is."

Another said they'd purchased for a Mother's Day present, writing: "Bought this as a gift for Mother’s Day next month. Took advantage of the knitwear special on Sparks. Very nice quality and a nice spring addition to her wardrobe."

Naturally, shoppers all have varying tastes when it comes to clothing, so it's worth noting that one buyer said: "Didn't like the shape but lovely for others." Despite this, someone else hailed the knit a 'wardrobe staple' commenting: "Very nice, will work as smart or casual wear - well made."
