M&S shoppers say ‘pretty’ summer blouse is ‘ready for any occasion’

Marks and Spencer has unveiled fresh designs for one of its top-selling summer blouses, with shoppers raving that it’s ‘ready for any occasion’. The retailer’s Printed V-Neck Puff Sleeve Blouse, now available in four lovely patterns, is causing quite a stir.

Retailing at just £22.50, this breezy top promises to inject a splash of colour into your summer collection and it pairs effortlessly with anything from trousers and jeans to skirts and shorts. The chic V-neckline, delicate buttons down the front and mid sleeves that provide ample arm coverage are what shoppers like about it.

It also features a light puff and frilly cuffs for an added dash of femininity. Shoppers can go for a black-and-white gingham, lilac floral, green polka-dot or multi-colour floral pattern.

Available in sizes from UK6 to UK24, fashion-lovers praised the top as ‘perfect’ for summer getaways as they noted it “doesn’t crease” in luggage and “washes well”. Teamed with white summer trousers like M&S’ £25 ankle grazers, it creates a sophisticated ensemble suitable from day to evening.

The blouse was a hit last summer, and the latest patterns are quickly becoming best-sellers on the website once again. Online reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many calling it a ‘pretty summer blouse’ and commending its ‘easy to wear’ nature, making it ideal ‘for any occasion’.

One delighted customer exclaimed: “Beautiful blouse. I love everything about this blouse, the colour, design and the price. Please bring in other colours please.”, reported Birmingham Live.

Another satisfied buyer commented: “Great quality. Easy style to wear, true to size. Will get a lot of wear out of this.”

And a third person said: “Lovely blouse perfect for holiday worn with white trousers. Lightweight for packing, and minimal care required. Also bought in a different colour last year.”

Many shoppers have expressed their satisfaction with the blouse, purchasing it in multiple hues, as one customer revealed: “A nice summer top that is true to size. I bought the navy and the red polka dot too! ” Another enthusiast exclaimed: “Perfect. Lovely little blouse. I bought a couple last year and am glad to see they haven’t changed too much.”

Some customers advised sizing up for a better fit, with Rach stating: “Size up. Lovely top and great quality however glad I read other reviews and sized up from my normal size 12 to 14 to allow for the lack of movement at the bust.”

Another added: “Perfect blouse, but sizing was really off. I had to go up two sizes because the bust was very small and then altered the rest to fit better. Doing alterations was a hassle, but I really love the fabric and general style of the blouse, so worth it.”
