The M&S knitted jumper has been hailed a ‘wardrobe essential’ and it’s not hard to see why. The jumper is ‘fluffy and very warm’ but it is ‘not thick or bulky’
Marks and Spencer knitwear is a staple for many shoppers as the colder months approach – so much so, some of the most sought-after items on the website tend to sell out rapidly. Dubbed ‘a wardrobe essential’, the M&S Brushed Alpaca Blend Knitted Top has garnered a multitude of glowing reviews for various reasons.
Retailing at £46, customers love how the ‘beautiful’ jumper feels ‘fluffy and very warm’ yet it is ‘not thick or bulky’. This means it can effortlessly be layered over tops, or worn beneath jackets and coats without causing discomfort.

It has also been lauded because it ‘looks more expensive than it cost’, priced under £50 but made with a snug wool and alpaca blend, with a brushed finish for a ‘super-soft’ feel. Versatility is crucial to getting value for money and this jumper ‘can be paired with many different garments’.
Whether bundling up for a walk, layering the jumper for a day in the office, or accessorising it for an event, Marks and Spencer customers are donning the Brushed Alpaca Blend Knitted Top for all sorts of occasions. One individual is saving theirs for the festive season, writing: “This is very soft cosy and warm and will be perfect for dancing at my Christmas party.”
The jumper is available in two stylish colours – ‘Hazelnut’, a gentle brown that’s perfectly on-trend this season, and a timeless ‘Dark Grey’. One person said they were delighted to have snapped up both shades, writing: “This is a lovely short sleeved jumper, soft, fluffy. I love the colour and I’ve got the one in grey too. You can dress them up too.”
As an alternative, COS offers this Knitted Alpaca-Blend T-shirt for £85 with a comparable appearance. Whilst pricier, it features 16% merino wool in the mix, delivering an exceptionally soft and luxurious texture.
Budget-conscious shoppers might also want to check out this Relaxed Knitted Alpaca T-shirt from ASOS. Currently reduced to £30.40, it’s available in two shades – ‘Olive’ and ‘Plum’, reports Bristol Live.
For additional styling inspiration, think about layering these knitwear pieces over a lovely blouse. One fashion enthusiast has done exactly this with the M&S Brushed Alpaca Blend Knitted Top, noting: “Beautiful jumper and a gorgeous colour. Great worn on its own or over a t-shirt or blouse.”
The knitwear features short sleeves, making it ideal for changeable weather. One shopper commented: “Love this jumper, as it has short arms it’s great for autumn when the weather is so changeable. It’s soft, lovely colour and true to size.”
Yet it wasn’t a complete five-star experience for another customer. They noted: “Love the style and quality, but it’s a little shorter than it appears in the website images. I’ll keep it, but wasn’t as amazed as I’d hoped to be” Other customers were delighted on all fronts, with one individual commenting: “Great texture, soft and rich. Looks amazing on.”
And another adding: “So comfortable and great quality. Lots of compliments.”
