Marks and Spencer shoppers praise 'beautiful' £8.50 T-shirt that comes in 20 different styles

Marks and Spencer shoppers have been full of praise over a "lovely" and "vibrant" new addition to the shelves.

The high street retailer has been impressing shoppers recently with its summer clothing selection, and one warm weather wardrobe staple has quickly shot up the bestseller list after arriving in stores and online. The Pure Cotton Printed Everyday Fit T-Shirt comes with a price tag of £8.50, and is available in 10 different patterns with available sizes ranging from six to 24.

Made from breathable cotton and cut with a crew neckline and short sleeves, the T-shirt's range of colours and prints mean it can be paired up with any outfit - making it a must-have when it comes to stepping out in the sunshine. Styled with jeans, trainers and a baseball cap on the M&S website, the most eye-catching versions of the top include a bold multi-coloured animal and flower print, a bright blue and black floral mix, or a cheerful pink stripe.

The T-shirt additionally comes in a black and white polka-dot print or in green with white hearts, as well as five versions sporting slogans. Or for shoppers who would prefer theirs without a print, it's also available as a Plain T-Shirt for the same price in 10 different colours, ranging from classic black or white to bold orange, pink, yellow, blue or green.

The printed version of the T-shirt has an overall rating of 4.5 out of five stars on the M&S website, based on over 150 reviews from shoppers. More than 100 customers gave the garment full marks after buying it, awarding it top marks for the likes of quality, value for money, fit and style.

Shoppers praised the multi-coloured print version of the T-shirt as 'very vivid and fun-looking' (Marks and Spencer)

"This is excellent value for a cotton T-shirt," one shopper wrote in their review. "I chose lilac and it is a beautiful saturated shade."

Another impressed customer said: "Great top, lovely feel to the cotton and fits well. Subtle but sunny colours - highly recommend."

And a third person fed back: "The colours on this T-shirt are so vibrant! It's very flattering and the cotton is beautifully soft. Everyone has commented on it!"

"I did wonder if the colours would be more muted in real life than on the website pictures, but they really aren't," someone else who snapped up the black T-shirt sporting the multi-coloured pattern wrote. "A very vivid, fun-looking T-shirt which fits well and feels soft."

As with any item of clothing the top wasn't suited to every shopper's taste, with a handful of people leaving less positive reviews - one person remarked that they thought the "style looks slightly wrong", while someone else commented that they found the sizing to be "over-generous". It's worth bearing in mind that M&S has a standard returns policy of 35 days from purchase, which applies to online orders as well as in-store ones - you can return an item to your nearest M&S store, send it back via Royal Mail or Evri, or organise collection from home.

For some further style inspiration from M&S, the T-shirt was styled on the website with the retailer's Wide-Leg Jeans, which are available in three shades of denim and have a price tag of £35, and the Lace Up Chunky Trainers, which come in either white or black for £29.50. And M&S isn't the only high street retailer whose summer collection shoppers have been raving over recently.

Matalan has recently been turning heads with its warm weather wardrobe staples, with a Monochrome Print Midaxi Dress proving particularly popular among customers. The £26 dress was hailed as "gorgeous", "beautiful" and "just stunning" by Matalan shoppers after the retailer shared a snap of it on Instagram last week.
