Marks & Spencer is winning over shoppers with its latest cosy offering, a stylish sweatshirt that puts a fresh spin on a sporty classic.
A Closer Look at the Cotton Rich Rugby Sweatshirt
Priced at £36, the Cotton Rich Striped Rugby Sweatshirt is designed to be a versatile and comfortable addition to any wardrobe. Available in sizes from XS to XL, the garment features a heavyweight fabric that M&S describes as 'cosy', adorned with bold white and navy stripes for a timeless look.
The retailer has highlighted the piece as a 'stylish take on a sporty classic', and early customer feedback suggests it is living up to the promise.
Shoppers Share Their Verdict
The reviews section for the sweatshirt is filled with positive comments praising its quality and design. One customer, Lorrie, called it a 'lovely top', noting the 'thick good quality material' that remains 'very soft'. She found the design effective, stating it 'looks great with jeans' and is 'very comfortable to wear'.
Another shopper, Liza, gave a five-star review, revealing, 'It’s slightly oversized, I’m usually an S and I got the XS and it fits perfectly.' She also complimented the sleeve length and called the sweatshirt 'super on-trend'.
Jessica expressed her admiration, writing, 'Really love this jumper. It's cosy and structured but not too heavy.' She was so impressed she suggested M&S produce it in other colour combinations, such as white and khaki.
Heather echoed the sentiment, saying the sweatshirt was 'much nicer than expected' with a 'lovely cosy lining'. While the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, one customer did mention debating a return as they felt the item was 'short in the body', indicating that checking the size guide may be advisable for some.
Styling Your New Favourite Jumper
The consensus among buyers is that this is an incredibly versatile piece. Reviewers confirm it can be effortlessly worn with jeans, trousers, or leggings, making it a truly smart-casual item. Its comfy and smart appearance allows it to transition seamlessly from a relaxed day out to a more put-together casual look.
For those considering alternatives, the market offers options like a Striped Rugby Sweatshirt from New Look for £27.99 and a Soft Touch Polo Jumper from Next priced at £34. However, the M&S version is distinguishing itself through its praised heavyweight fabric and the specific, beloved fit noted by many of its customers.
