M&S’ new ‘expensive’ looking Chanel-inspired cardigan is under £40 and will ‘keep you warm’

Channeling Chanel vibes without breaking the bank, M&S has launched a cardigan that’s giving us all the luxe feels. The high street favourite is keeping up with the cardigan craze, which shows no signs of slowing down in 2025.

Their latest creation? A black and cream knit beauty that’s a nod to the fashion giant’s chic aesthetic but with a fresh twist for the New Year.

While glam oversized gold buttons were all the rage last year, this season is all about subtlety – think less bling, more sophistication. Available in cream with black trim or vice versa, it’s the understated approach to the gold buttons that amps up the sleek factor on this knit.

We love the cardie’s relaxed boxy cut that gives a cool contemporary edge, and trust us; we’re not alone. Fashion fans are already dropping glowing reviews online, reports the Mirror.

One shopper’s compliment says it all: “Looks more expensive. Absolutely love it, so many people ask where I bought it”. And honestly, priced at less than £40, it’s a small price to pay for major high-end feels.

Another happy shopper raved about the fit of their latest find, saying “I like the cut, it keeps you warm in the cold” – just what we need as the temperatures plummet. Known for blending fashion-forward design with comfort, this cardigan is a hit among those looking to stay snug without sacrificing style.

However, not all feedback was glowing; there were some issues with the fabric composition, with one customer commenting, “It looks so stylish, but it’s viscose and polyester, both of which are itchy.”

Those fabrics might cause a problem, particularly for those with delicate skin or an aversion to specific materials. So, if this cardi isn’t quite your cup of tea, we’ve scoped out some alternatives that deserve a spot in your closet.
