As soon as I get a tiny glimpse of the sun, the spring-cleaning bug takes hold, and if you're anything like me, the satisfaction of clearing out the clutter from your wardrobe, in particular, is equal to none. So, my wardrobe recently underwent a thorough early spring clean. Two hours, a tube of Pringles and a Netflix show later, my clear-out was complete, leaving ample room for timeless new-season pieces. However, after getting a sneak peek at the M&S spring collection, it wasn't long before I had decided how to fill that wardrobe space.
From linen blazers to pretty gingham dresses and two-piece sets in muted colours, M&S' spring collection had me doing several double-takes, as the pieces could easily be mistaken for designer. One standout is the lightweight linen trench coat in a soft pastel hue, perfect for layering over everything from denim to dresses on those unpredictable spring days. Paired with classic white sneakers or sleek ankle boots, it's the epitome of casual sophistication.
Speaking of linen, the brand's selection of elevated co-ords is seriously impressive. Think luxe linen blends in light shades that are the ideal way to add a gentle pop of colour to spring outfits. I'll be reaching for the beige vest and blazer set to effortlessly elevate my off-duty looks.
I couldn't resist adding a few more items to my basket, from bags to shoes and (more) matching sets—all so expensive-looking that I'm actually worried they'll sell out before I secure them. Keep scrolling for the picks I'm banking to see me through spring in style. I promise you'll be wowed.
