Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo love M&S
M ‘n’ S is no longer the mecca of grannies and mums in search of cargo pants and fleece jackets. No, thanks to fans like Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo Marks & Spencer is enjoying a very trendy revival.
Here’s our pick of M&S’ new drop…
Simple blue dress
It might look simple (and indeed that’s what we’ve called it) but this soon-to-be wardrobe staple is anything but. Wear it plain in the summer to show off delish tanned shoulders, with a roll neck under for work or add a red lip, black lace bralet and unbutton a few top/bottom buttons for a nerdy-sexy date look. Best of British @ M&S, £99
Gingham dress
Picnic checks always come back into fashion in spring. This monochrome shirtdress is a super flattering way to wear them. Team with boyish brogues and a cardi or add edge with mules and a biker jacket. M&S Collection, £TBC
Slinky cami dress
We have loved the Rosie for Autograph collection since the first batch of knickers hit stores in 2012. The model wore this cami dress to the launch of her latest range, adding a statement pout and sleeking her glossy hair back into a chic bun. Proof the nightwear as daywear (or going out wear) is definitely a thing. Rosie for Autograph @ M&S, £89
Striped jumper
Still with the 70s vibe, this multicoloured striped knit is the perfect pal for a pleated midi skirt or flared jeans. M&S, £35
Floral skirt
Try wearing the bell-shaped midi with a satin cami or luxe tee. Avoid anything too fussy or printed, this skirt has enough going on already. Oh, and the longline shape is super flattering on mid to tall bods. Per Una @ M&S, £49.50
Tweed pastel bag
Last but not least soemthing that isn't available yet but we just couldn't resist a sneak peek. M&S have teamed up with celeb fave designer Michael Van Der Ham to create a fun, spring range. This pastel tween handbag has old school vibes with new Barbie girl feels. Just the thing to dress up an off-duty look. Michael Van Der Ham for M&S, £35 available from 14th April
