I spotted Marks and Spencer’s ‘stunning’ £35 summer top that keeps selling out
Summer is well underway, with shoppers flocking to the high street to stop up on sandals, floaty dresses and more. And we’ve found a striking M&S piece that is sure to earn you style points this season.
A hit with customers for its high-quality yet affordable fashion buys, Marks and Spencer has - unsurprisingly - been dropping some real show-stoppers. Our Fashion Content Editor, Melisha Kaur, headed down to her local store to see the latest must-haves in person - and there was one item she was truly wowed by.
The Pure Cotton Printed Puff Sleeve Blouse is priced at £35 both in-branch and online. Perfect for making a statement, this eye-catching top is adorned with a bold pink print. As the name suggests, it is crafted from 100% cotton, making it comfortable for the warmer months. It features short puff sleeves, a round neckline and a neat button fastening at the back.
Part of the M&S Collection range, the pretty blouse can be paired with a matching maxi skirt, £39.50, but this is nearly sold out at marksandspencer.com. The high-street store recommends completing this look with its Leather Buckle Strappy Block Heel Sandals in Ivory for £33.75 (was £45).
What I love most about patterned blouses like this M&S offering is their versatility. Whether worn with relaxed jeans, high-waist tailored trousers or an A-line skirt, they can switch up your everyday look with minimal effort. When holding up the top in a size 10, I found it to be a bit on the small side, so it might be worth sizing up if you prefer a bit of room.
M&S summer blouse
Marks and Spencer’s Pure Cotton Printed Puff Sleeve Blouse has already earned a 4.5 average rating on the website. The design is clearly a hit online, as I've seen sizes sell out and come back in stock several times in recent weeks - so don't hang about.
Leaving a five-star review of the piece, one happy shopper said: “Beautiful, stylish top. Lovely colour and pattern. Fits very well. Lots of comments when worn.”
Another gushed: “Pretty bright print top. Great style and lovely with matching skirt,” while a third person shared: “The top is stunning in style, the fabric and price.”

However, it's worth noting some found it came up small, one review said: “Beautiful fabric and vibrant colours. But they do come small so go up a size.”
A lovely alternative from River Island is this Pink Floral Shirred Puff Sleeve Blouse, costing £36. It features a statement-making floral print, a figure-flattering peplum hem and short puff sleeves.
