M&S’s viral £32 crochet cardigan is the perfect summer staple

Finding clothes that look stylish but are still practical can be tricky, especially during British summers. While lightweight dresses and linen pieces might be warm-weather favourites, having an extra layer on-hand is always a good idea for cooler evenings, unpredictable weather, or simply adding a little something extra to make your outfit pop.

That’s where a good crochet cardigan comes in. Easy to style, effortlessly chic and perfect for throwing on over your favourite summer pieces. It’s also a wardrobe addition that can work well beyond just one season. And, if you’ve been searching for a versatile addition to your warm-weather wardrobe, M&S might have just the thing.

This crochet cardigan has been gaining attention thanks to its effortlessly chic look, and at just £32, it’s an affordable way to refresh your summer outfits without spending a fortune.

Designed to add a stylish finishing touch to everything from jeans and a T-shirt to floaty dresses and skirts, we reckon it’s a piece you’ll be reaching for all season long. Plus, with crochet-inspired styles continuing to be a summer favourite, it’s a simple way to tap into the trend.

The M&S Collection crochet cardigan is designed with seasonal layering in mind, made from a breathable cotton-blend yarn with an airy crochet-style stitch that helps keep it feeling lightweight. It comes in a regular fit with a collared neckline, button-through front and scalloped trims. Plus, it’s available in a choice of two colourways: a neutral beige tone and a vibrant chilli red, so there’s something to suit every taste.

Even better, it can be machine washed on a delicate 40C cycle. Ideal if you’re accident-prone or have little ones with permanently sticky fingers.
