When it comes to summer capsule wardrobe heroes, don't underestimate the power of a lightweight knit. Cotton and linen blended knitwear offers the perfect solution to those typical 'British summer' days that seem to host all four seasons in one, delivering just the right amount of warmth and breathability, and adding a warm weather twist to your favourite jeans, or adding a very gentle cosier feel to summery slip skirts.
Enter one of M&S's current bestsellers, a light, crochet-style, short-sleeve cardigan in four gorgeous June-ready hues that offers the ideal level of protection and sunny-feels. The short-sleeved, button-fronted design can be worn buttoned up like a top, or undone like a cardigan, and there is even a pair of coordinating shorts, should you wish to make it a post-beach combo for a summer getaway.
