I don't know about you, but with the new season underway, I'm thinking about a wardrobe refresh. I'm not talking about anything too drastic; a light dress here, a pair of sandals there. To welcome spring's arrival, I've assessed the gaps in my wardrobe and now am strategically setting about filling them. Apart from anything, the right few buys hold the power to transform our existing pieces—they'll present new ways to style those items we've grown tired of, and hopefully, we'll fall in love with them all over again.

If you're on the hunt for versatile additions to your wardrobe that look more expensive than they are, Marks Spencer is a wise place to start.
M&S often feels like a "comfortable" shopping destination—and I mean that in the best way possible. When I notice a ladder in my tights or a stain on my T-shirt, I'll always turn to Marks Spencer to source a lasting replacement. It's always been a reliable place to pick up foundational buys and simple staples. But over the past few years, we've witnessed the brand step up its style game and embrace some of the most exciting trends in fashion—from that Toteme-esque coat to its best-selling jeans. And this season is no different.
