One impressed shopper said: "I love the colour of this jumper. It's very good quality, looks way more expensive." Lily said: "Fabulous jumper, great boxy shape and a good weight for winter. Very flattering. For once the fit is perfect for me. I have a small frame and most M&S jumpers swamp me. More colours please in this style."

Sarah wrote: "Soft and great colour. Lovely design on the knit and I like the turn up cuffs on the sleeve. It's the perfect red shade and I just hope it does not bobble. Looks good with denim and size medium was good for me as I like jumpers baggy but not over baggy."

Another shopper praised the 'nice boxy style' and another commented: "Good quality. Very high neck but will be perfect when winter arrives." One person complained that the sizing came up big, saying: "Lovely jumper and colour but was far to big I am a size 12 the sleeves are quite long. It did look great with jeans. Sadly I had to return it."

The Ribbed Roll Neck Jumper is available to buy for £35 on the Marks and Spencer website. Alternatively, New Look's Red Knit Stand Collar Oversized Jumper is slightly cheaper at £29.99, while this Crew Neck Cable Knitted Jumper With Wool from Next costs £34.
