The bestselling piece of knitwear on the entire site at the time of writing (Marks and Spencer has an unrivalled knack for creating chic pieces that quickly go viral), this luxe-looking knit comes in two colours: a buttery ecru and summer\u2019s trending hue, tomato red (more on that later).<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"person wearing a light beige button up cardigan, cream shorts, holding a beaded purse.\" title=\"Person wearing a light beige button-up cardigan, cream shorts, holding a beaded purse.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"3328\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3f6bc724-ed63-4b0b-82e5-544369747834.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>M&amp;S<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Perfect for throwing over slinky camisoles and slips on chilly evenings, what we love most about this trending M&amp;S knit is that crochet-style stitchwork. You don\u2019t need us to tell you that crochet is a non-negotiable at this time of year, sartorially speaking, and this season, the sunshine staple has been spun into an array of modern silhouettes.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Even our fashion director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redonline.co.uk\/author\/500237\/oonagh-brennan\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.redonline.co.uk\/author\/500237\/oonagh-brennan\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Oonagh\" data-node-id=\"18.1\" class=\"body-link css-1ae3az emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Oonagh<\/a> agrees, saying: \u201cThanks to the major boho revival, crochet is back but not as you know it.
