All Our Editors Agree: These Are the Best M&S Pieces to Buy for Summer

Liv Madeline wears a now sold out waistcoat from Marks & Spencer.
It's hard to imagine what the Great British high street would be like without Marks & Spencer; the brand many of us have come to rely upon for its elite lingerie and Percy Pigs. As impressive as its underwear and food departments may be, the category I believe M&S nails like no other is never-date fashion. I consider myself to be something of a Marks & Spencer shopping expert; from my formative years as an assistant being asked to run to the nearest store to stock up on tights and vests for styling kits, to attending store appointments to pull products for my own shoots, I know the blueprint of just about every London M&S store like the back of my hand. Needless to say, I am very familiar with what makes a great Marks & Spencer fashion find, which certainly comes in handy here at Who What Wear.
You love M&S—I know this because some of my most-read articles centre on this theme. So, I thought it would be fun for us to take a look at the best Marks & Spencer pieces for 2023 together. Just glancing at its new-in section and I can already spot key wardrobe refreshes and excellent new-season updates that are worth highlighting. From staple shirts and denim to designer-looking heels and hangbags to elevate, scroll on to see my edit of the best Marks & Spencer pieces for 2023.

Why yes, we do love a striped knit, thanks for asking.
In my opinion, this is the perfect everyday dress for summer.
I know these could-be-designer sandals are going to fly.
I'd wear this blazer with light-wash jeans, a white t-shirt and sandals in spring and black wide-leg trousers and ankle boots now.
Another M&S piece that I added to my basket straight away.
I just know I'll get so much wear out of this simple striped sweatshirt.
If there's one thing I know for certain, it is how versatile a black slip dress is. Wear it with strappy heels and earrings in the evening of a blazer and boots to work.
I love this light khaki jacket, which will look great over dresses and skirts throughout spring and summer.
Jumpsuits are the easiest outfit. Just add trainers and you're set!
Seriously, no one does denim on the high street quite like M&S. The fit of this wide-leg pair is perfect.
The bag all our editors own and love now comes in four colours: Black, beige, khaki and pink.
Part of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's new range, this body will look great with jeans and a blazer or just layered under cardigans.
Full skirts are really having a moment this year. We normally seem them dressed up, but I love the more casual take here.
In 2023, everyone needs a pair of leather trousers in their wardrobe.
I'd wear this with my comfiest trousers and trainers for a weekend pub visit, or dress it up with boots for work.
We could go on and on about how much we love these heels...
A trench is a forever wardrobe hero in my opinion.
