M&S Linen Is the Chicest on the High Street—These 17 Pieces Will Sell Out Next
From throw-on tailoring to the viral wide-leg trousers, M&S is quietly serving the most stylish linen pieces on the high street.


When I think of summer staples I can't live without, my mind immediately springs to linen. No longer confined to holiday wardrobes or crumpled weekend wear, linen is a mainstay in everyday dressing—and no one is doing it better (or more accessibly) than Marks Spencer. From expertly-cut blazers to breezy shirts and matching co-ords, M&S has curated an impressive collection of linen pieces that feel elevated yet easy, exactly what we want from warm-weather dressing.
While the high street is awash with brilliant linen styles, what sets M&S apart is its attention to detail. Many of the pieces come in breathable linen blends that soften over time, with just enough structure to maintain a polished look. Think: an oversized white shirt that’s smart without feeling stiff, a tailored linen-blend blazer that hangs just right, available to purchase with matching trousers and shorts that take the guesswork out of styling. The kind of wardrobe foundations you’ll return to all season long. Thanks to a generous size range and multiple fit options, they genuinely work for a vast swathe of fashion lovers. The brand’s neutral-heavy colour palette (think oat, white, navy and blush) only adds to the versatility of the M&S linen offering.
Of course, we can’t talk about M&S linen without mentioning the iconic Linen Rich Wide Leg Trousers. The £27 trousers emerge as a viral sensation year after year, and have been restocked countless times. But the real draw isn’t just this one hero item—it’s the strength of the entire linen collection. Whether you're curating a capsule wardrobe or simply after a few elevated summer staples, M&S’s linen edit is proving itself to be one of the chicest high-street investments of the season.
