This M&S cardigan is going to sell out – and we’re adding it to our basket immediately

Marks & Spencer are at the forefront of our minds when it comes to quality, stylish pieces, from scarf coats to posh cardigans - and, speaking of cardigans - we've spotted a sell-out sensation among the racks: the M&S Crew Neck Cardigan.

Already selling fast, with hundreds adding it to their baskets over the last few days, we're definitely following suit. The classic cardi comes in options of red, ivory and oatmeal, so it's perfect if you want a pop of colour or something more toned down.

Styles we're seeing this year, particularly for autumn and winter are minimal silhouettes that look expensive and chic. The M&S Crew Neck Cardigan, £39.50 features textured gold-tone buttons and handy patch pockets at the hips for a hint of luxury, all at a high-street price.

Reviewers can't get enough, with loads saying it's a really smart cardigan that's both warm and cosy to wear. One reviewer praised its 'beautiful knit quality', so we know we're getting a hero piece in our wardrobe to last the next few autumn/winters to come. Who doesn't love a quality cardi you can wear again and again?

Not only is it the ultimate layering staple that'll keep you warm, this versatile cardi can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you wear it to the office with a pair of tailored pants, or over a killer dress with a formal event - this one is a sure winner. Style with statement accessories like an oversized bag or slingback heels for a put-together, sophisticated look.

If you want to shop it, we recommend snapping it up ASAP. Sizes are flying off the shelves, and we guarantee this one will sell out soon - which is why we're adding it to our basket immediately. Shop the trending cardigan below.
