The high street retailer has impressed fashion fans with its "really classy" cardigan that resembles the luxury fashion brand. If you're looking to update your wardrobe with luxe-looking pieces for less, then M&S usually has you covered. Following on from its popular Chanel lookalike jacket earlier this year, the retailer has another item that is similar to the French fashion house.

It is the Cotton Blend Textured Crew Neck Cardigan and it costs just £35. Available in two chic colours - ivory and black - this "Chanel-esque" cardigan is described as "selling really fast" on the retailer's website, and we can see why. It's currently available to buy in sizes extra small to large, with the extra large already sold out online.



The "very classy" design of this cardigan features textured knit appearance with gold buttons, which are both similar to items sold from the luxury brand. The tipped trims along the hem, cuffs and timeless crew neckline elevate this knit into something special. With its luxury-inspired look, this regular-fit cardigan can be paired well for a daytime or evening look.

For a really elegant look anytime of day, we'd suggest pairing it with the retailer's £35 Satin Midaxi Slip Skirt and a pair of the £22.50 Bow Flat Ballet Pumps. Currently rated 4.

6 stars on the M&S website, the Cotton Blend Textured Crew Neck Cardigan has impressed fashion enthusiasts who love "very Chanel-esque" appearance that has them buying it in both colours. One shopper praised: "Love this cardigan and I have bought both the black and white versions. Very Chanel without the price tag.

I like the weight as well. Worn it with a skirt and Chanel brooch and got a lot of compliments from work colleagues. Well done M&S!" Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond.

" A third happy shopper said: "Chanel-esque at M&S prices. Fabulous knitted jacket in the style of Chanel - if you can afford to, buy both colour versions i.e.

black with white trim and cream with black trim, you won't regret it." Another added: "This a beautiful cardigan, really classy, love the Chanel inspired look. The short length really suits me as I'm quite short at 5ft 3 in.

The material is heavy and the cardigan hangs well, it almost looks like a jacket. Love the buttons too. This could be worn with trousers or a dress, would look great with either.

Great value in my opinion." It's been an unpredictable sort of summer, with more rain and thunderstorms on the way for parts of Scotland. Which is exactly why shoppers are rushing out to Marks and Spencer for the Stormwear Ultra Waterproof Hooded Parka from the retailer's Goodmove collection.
