Another chimed in: "Smart knitted jacketwhich I plan to wear with both jeans and dress trousers. Lovely soft knit and looks way more expensive than it is. I'm a size 12 and originally ordered a medium, however returned for small which is ideal and still has a loose fit on me."

A third simply added: "Beautiful colour. Great quality. Have had lots of compliments."

However, some buyers left three and four star ratings, with one noting: "I really like this jacket its so soft and the colour is bright. But its already showing signs of bobbling after one wear. Hence four stars.

"Really nice colour green and the perfect cross between a jumper and jacket," reads another review. "I'm getting lots of wear out of this during the change of seasons. My only slight reservation is that the zip is slightly tricky. Lovely garment for the price. I'm happy!".
