Sold out £35 M&S cardigan becomes a TikTok sensation as fans hail it ‘very Chanel’

An M&S cardigan that sent TikTok into meltdown after being likened to Chanel is now back in stock after fashion fans went wild for the item – but it’s already flying off the shelves.

The Recycled Blend Textured Button Front Cardigan comes in two colourways, navy and cream, ranging from sizes XS to XL – and despite its £35 price tag, shoppers are saying it looks much more expensive. 

However, the item is selling fast, with the XS currently unavailable in both colours, while the cream version is also sold out in S and M. 

The cosy waffle-knit design has been a hit with fans on social media thanks to its high-end quality and affordable price tag. In fact, many have branded it a ‘must-have’ for Autumn. 

TikTok fashionista Molly Paris, who uses the handle @mollyparisstyle, first shared a glimpse of the cardigan in August, claiming it was essential for the season ahead. 

This prompted a multitude of followers to leave complimentary comments, such as ‘Just got the black one. It’s gorgeous’ and ‘Literally just ordered! Thanks for sharing!’.

Unsurprisingly, the cardigan has been a hit with shoppers since it caused a stir on TikTok – but after stores were cleared out of the item once, it is now available to buy again.  

The product description on the M&S website reads: ‘A textured knit and gold-tone buttons bring an elegant feel to this cardigan. It’s designed in a comfortable regular fit with a timeless crew neckline. Contrasting ribbed trims and patch pocket detailing complete the look.’

TikTok user Katie Peake, who uses the handle @_katiepeake, also raved about the knitwear.

In the video, she claims these cardigans look much more expensive than they are – and even says the cream version is ‘very Chanel’.

A viewer responded: ‘I got both too, love them!’ while another added: ‘The cream one looks luxurious.’

One fashion fan was desperate to know how Katie got her hands on the cardigans since they were sold out. 

The collarless design is made from a textured knit with patch pockets and gold-toned buttons that create a glamorous finish.

And the cardigan isn’t just proving popular on TikTok; Instagram users have been singing its praises too.

Many have uploaded photographs of themselves wearing the coveted piece and tagging the M&S account.

‘Great value for money. Looks more expensive than it was. Even my daughter has now ordered one,’ another stated.

While a second user agreed: ‘Lovely cardigan and looks expensive, true to size fit. Very on-trend at the moment.’

‘On trend cardigan, worn once washed once, so far it’s kept it’s shape and not bobbled. Cosy knit which looks smart,’ claimed another. 

Someone else wrote: ‘Very soft, lovely colour and great fit. It’s a wonderful garment which can either be dressed up to be smart or down to look more relaxed,’
