While the cold snap won’t last forever, simple but effective layers can be brought out every winter, for the ultimate cost per wear.

M&S’ thermal long-sleeved top is classic, timeless and easy to wear, plus it will only you set back by £16.

The tops can be worn alone or as a hidden layer underneath dresses, jumpers and more.

They come in UK sizes 6-22 and nine different colours – two are sold out but there are still seven to choose from, including neutral black, brown and cream shades, and pops of colour.

The stretchy fabric features Heatgen Plus™ technology to insulate and keep the warmth in, and a soft, brushed inner layer.

Thousands of reviewers have rated the thermal piece five-stars, with some calling it ‘wonderfully cosy”.

Soozeh said: ”These are so wonderfully cosy and comfortable to wear. I have several colours and seem to be wearing one virtually every day! Helps keep the heating costs down too! I also like that they are fairly long.”

Fab u lous commented: ”This is one of many thermal tops I have from M&S. These tops are essential to keep me warm in Winter. I wear it under my cashmere jumpers for extra warmth. I couldn’t live without them, especially the thicker extra warm ones! I hope M&S keep these tops as a permanent line.”

1sungirl also added: ”A lovely warm top, though I found it a little tight fitting.”

As some reviews have mentioned that the sizing is small, it could be worth sizing up for a better fit.
