They also wrote: “I found the sleeves a bit long, but I can solve that little dilemma. I’ll enjoy wearing this in the future at.”
Another customer also pointed out the similarities to Chanel: “It looks like Chanel and goes perfectly with jeans, navy trousers and skirts.
However, not everyone was completely taken with the garment, as someone else said: “The cardigan looks good, but is a bit shapeless due to the material and therefore quite heavy.
“The design is nice, but I would have preferred a thinner wire.”
The vest is not the only piece of clothing Brands & Spencer While shoppers are loving them now, fashion fans are also loving their new leopard print jeans.

Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale says:
Supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, when you pop in to do your weekly shop, you can also pick up a selection of wallet-friendly, stylish items for the whole family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 percent rise in the quarter thanks to ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earned the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda’s George clothing line earned the supermarket £1.5m in 2023, 80 per cent of clothes at Sainsbury’s were sold at full price rather than discounted, and sales of Nutmeg at Morrisons have also risen by 2 per cent over the past year.
How is it that supermarket fashion is so successful?
The clothing is not only affordable but also of good quality, and much of the clothing is part of programs such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
They often stick to classic pieces that they know will last for years.
And because they buy so much stock, they can deliver quickly and the volumes are cheaper.
