Hi everyone. Here is our new season fashion edit. Get ready to fall in love with the latest Marks & Spencer Autumn collection! We are thrilled to share our top picks with you. This season, M&S has really outdone themselves with pieces that bring a fresh burst of energy to our wardrobes. Read on for all the must-have styles!
As we enter Autumn our thoughts turn to layering. Why layering? Because it is the most practical way to maximise our wardrobes especially now that our weather is usually mild. A sleeveless knitted top is brilliant for those days were you need a little warmth but not too much. Would also look great worn with a fine long sleeved crew neck sweater.
- Cloud-yarn Knitted Crew Neck Waistcoat £25 (beige or grey)
- Pure Cotton Striped Tie Neck Shirt £35
Green is a standout colour in the new Autumn/Winter collection and this geometric pattern in flowing, breathable viscose was a winner in our eyes.
- Geometric Round Neck Midaxi Column Dress £39.50 (Petite, regular and long lengths)
- Faux Leather Cross Body Bag £35 in this vibrant green (Black and Caramel also available)
- V neck shirt £29.50 (and available in Black Mix too)
If you don’t already own a gilet (there are a couple of thoughts on where the word derives from but probably the Spanish jileco or the French noun – le gilet – meaning cardigan) then you are missing a trick. It’s the perfect extra layer when there’s a chill in the air and this one from GoodMove fits the bill perfectly.
- Stormwear™ Quilted Puffer Gilet £49.50. Also available in Black.
- Knitted Textured Crew Neck Bomber Cardigan £35
Who doesn’t love the luxurious feel of cashmere – these two items of knitwear were definite favourites!
- Pure Cashmere Textured Crew Neck Jumper £89 (10 different colours)
- Top value Jersey Checked Straight Leg Trousers £17.50 (three lengths)
- Pure Cashmere Bright Orange Cardigan with its contrast collar trim. £95. Also in Grey Marl
Here are our favourite two jackets – great styling and value for money.
- Faux Leather Harrington Jacket £59 – buttery soft and feels like the real thing and the detailing belies it’s very reasonable price.
- Supersoft Crew Neck Jumper £17.50 If you haven’t discovered these already then please check them out. Available in many colours, these are a brilliant basic. Available in sizes 6 – 24.
- Tweed Tailored Houndstooth Blazer with Wool £79. In a blue mix colourway that you can dress up or wear with jeans, this is a winner. We suggest going up a size.
- Merino Wool Blend Textured Jumper from Per Una. Great style and value at £35. Also available in Ecru.
- Argyle Crew Neck Jumper With Wool £35
Grace is still wearing white jeans (clinging on to Summer!) and found this striking striped top – just one of the excellent selection of knitwear and tops that are now available.
- Cotton Rich Striped V Neck Jumper £14 (available instore). Otherwise check out very similar style – Air-Yarn Striped V Neck Jumper £19.50 in Navy Mix.
- Boyfriend Ankle Grazer Jeans £39.50 (3 lengths, 5 colours available)
- Tapered Ankle Grazer Trousers in Navy (4 other colours and 3 lengths available) £29.50
- Wide Fit Suede Tassel Flat Boat Shoes – really comfortable slip ons, go down a size as they are a wide fit. A few sizes still available in Red.
This Pure Merino Wool Longline Knitted Vest £39.50 in Bright Green or Black is a versatile layering piece. Worn over trousers or a long skirt, over a crisp white blouse or fine wool jumper, it’s simply stunning. Last but not least, we loved the new range of handbags – especially the fabulous quilted ones.
Happy shopping!
