From Dresses to Jackets, M&S Has Made Spring Dressing Easier

last updated 15 March 2023

Personally, I'm over winter. The chilly days and surprise snow were fun at first, but I'm taking myself out of this week's weather and looking ahead to the return of double-digit temperatures. Glorious, sun-soaked days are at the forefront of my mind, and with them comes an equally glorious spring and summer wardrobe. To ready myself (and you, of course) for brighter days ahead, I've turned to high-street hero Marks & Spencer.

No matter the season, I always check out M&S's new arrivals for stylish gems. With every layer from lingerie and hosiery to the heaviest coats, M&S is prepared to dress you from head to toe all year round. But for now, I'm particularly enthralled by its spring and summer offerings. Trust me—they're seriously good.

There's a lot to love about the new-season styles. Whilst the past few months have been dominated by the heaviest materials we can find to bundle ourselves up in, the brighter and warmer weather calls for a change in fabric. Think broderie anglaise, light linens and soft cottons with design details that are savoured on warmer days. And with these lighter and brighter days comes an injection of both bold and pastel colour. (Of course, classic neutrals also feature throughout.) This particular collection aims to do it all from warm-weather work looks to beach styles that will have you booking flights (if you haven't already), and there are even a few cosier pieces to battle those spring showers. To make your spring update even easier, I've broken down the key styles you need for the upcoming season and beyond.
