One of the first things I do when exploring the Marks & Spencer new in section, whether online or in-store, is head straight to the shoe department. No matter the season, there's always a standout shoe to be found. Spring was all about the buttery soft suede loafer, and for summer, it's a similarly elegant pair of suede sandals that have all my attention. Trust me, this is a pair that won't stay in stock for long.
Already, I've spotted a few sizes flying in and out of stock, and after a few grey days, my weather app has declared that the high temperatures are about to return. With a designer look and affordable price tag, I expect this pair won't stick around for long.
Marks & Spencer is known for many things, including its excellent selection of basics, premium-looking linens, and honing in on the specific design details that make an item look incredibly high-end, even when they're from the high street. These sandals are a prime example of the brand's design insights. Take the suede finish, a trend that has swiftly become the elegant detail that stylish people are reaching for for summer 2025.
Paired with the contemporary square-toe finish and the understated design, it's hard to believe that these sandals don't come with a three-figure price tag. It's not only the look that brings a quality appeal to this pair, but also the leather composition. The overall look of this pair is refined and understated, an aesthetic that Marks & Spencer does so well. Plus, the sole is thick enough to be comfortable and still retain that understated appeal.
