Another customer, Bev, commented: "Cosy, lightweight, just what I needed. I brought it to wear as an extra layer in the office."

Other shoppers shared similar sentiments, with one writing: "Bought this to wear under a lightweight raincoat and now wear often around the house! Stylish, fluffy and warm."

Another reviewer said: "Lightweight and easy to wear over tops or dresses to keep you extra warm."

One customer raved about the gilet, calling it a "great addition to my winter wardrobe" and adding: "Love my new borg waistcoat, warm and cosy, true to size and washes and dries perfectly! I've worn it just about everyday since it arrived. Great value too! ".

However, a few reviewers noted that the sizing ran large, with one saying: "I really wanted to like this. I have the borg gilet from last winter and wore it constantly. This was a bit shapeless, very big cut."

The Borg Lightweight Collarless Gilet can be purchased on the M&S website for £29.50. For comparison, Next's Teddy Borg Gilet costs £55, while Nobody's Child's Quilted Puffer Gilet is on sale for £44, down from £89.
