M&S launches new ‘light and airy’ £19 blouse fans say is a hot weather essential

Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up a new-in £19.50 summer top that fans say looks ‘beautiful’ with trousers and jeans and is ‘perfect for hot weather’. The Pure Cotton Printed V-Neck Blouse comes in two summery prints and has already received positive reviews despite being new-in on the M&S website.

Described as ‘light and airy’ by shoppers, the statement blouse is designed in a regular fit with a flattering V neckline that fans say isn’t too revealing. Elasticated cuffs create subtle volume in the sleeves, which come below the elbow, and the stand-out prints make the tops ideal for dressing up with most kinds of trousers and either flat sandals or heels.

M&S shoppers who bought the top said it was ‘comfortable and easy to wear’, while others loved the ‘floaty’ fit and said the pure cotton fabric had a breezy feel, ideal for summer. One impressed shopper said: “Lovely shirt, great material for summer.

“The shirt was better on than I thought it would be for the price. It’s very light, great for summer. Looks great with white jeans. Would definitely recommend. Would buy more if there were other colours.”

A second fan said: “Lovely light fabric. Pretty design, comfortable and easy to wear.” And a third wrote: “Beautiful blouse. Love it! Gorgeous material, lovely shape and comfortable. Worth every penny.”

Philippa said: “Pretty cotton top. Perfect for hot summery weather. Quite loose which I prefer.” Veronica said: “This is such a lovely summery blouse, light and floaty and such good value. I love it. Thanks M&S. Please can we have it in more gorgeous colours.”

Janet wrote: “Lovely summer shirt. This is a really pretty shirt in cotton. I read other reviews and ordered one size smaller which fits perfectly. The length is just right for me at 5ft 5 and the colour is pretty. Not been washed yet but should be okay.”

One shopper complained that the yellow shade looked slightly different in person, saying: “I thought this style would be a flattering summer blouse. It is a lightweight cotton which washes and irons nicely. The yellow is more of a gold than a lemon colour which was a bit off-putting, but in fact it is one of those garments that looks much better on than off so I think it is good value for money.”

However, others loved the summery shade, as someone else put: “Perfect for summer. Lovely light cotton top in a glorious colour. All I need is the sun. Suits the fuller bust.” Another happy customer said: “Beautiful blouse. Such an easy blouse to wear.”

“The cotton is lovely, just the right length, and not cut too low in the chest area. Great quality and fabulous value for money. I bought the yellow one which I love, I wish it came in other colours and patterns.”

Fashion fans can buy the Pure Cotton Printed V-Neck Blouse in a choice of two striking prints for £19.50 on the M&S website, although sizes are selling fast.

Alternatively, this Abstract Print Woven Pleat Front V-Neck Top from Roman features a similar neckline and comes in there patterns, now in the sale for £16. Monsoon also has this Riviera Bubble Hem Top which is now half price at £24.50.
