M&S launch animal print puff sleeve top for £35 to rival Ganni – and it’s £150 less

ANIMAL print is a timeless trend, and Ganni has been a leader in recent times, with its gorgeous puff sleeve top.

But shoppers on a tighter budget should head to Marks & Spencer, where they can pick up a £35 alternative, which is £150 cheaper.

Animal Print Bow Puff Sleeve Blouse, £35

High-street favourite M&S has launched the as partof M&S' latest new in drop, which I have already raved about.

The new design retails for a purse-friendly £35, while 's original costs £185 - that's a big, big difference.

But when it comes to both outfits' look and design, you can hardly spot the difference (sorry, couldn't help myself).

Both the design and feature leopard print, and, admittedly the spot print is slightly different when put side-by-side.

Ganni's spot print is closer together and a concentrated pattern.

The leopard print also appears lighter because the design sits on a white background.

By contrast, M&S's animal print features larger spots, which sit on a camel gradient background colour and gives the illusion of a darker, bolder finish.

The other difference is Ganni's top features a poplin detail, which ruffles out around the lower part of the rib cage.

The M&S top doesn't feature this poplin detail and is a straight box fit, which I actually prefer as poplin and smock designs come in and out of fashion.

Both tops feature a round neck to hug the neckline, oversize blouson puff sleeves, which fall approximately 3/4 down the arm, and three bow tie front fastening.
