Out of all the high street stores, M&S is probably the one whose autumn/winter collection we await most eagerly. Whether it’s their long-standing penchant for a classic winter coat or talent for creating enviable knitwear, it’s an ineffable alchemy that the store brings to our cold weather wardrobes year after year. Well, we are happy to report that the 2021 collection has finally dropped, and it might just be our favourite to date.
Chock-a-block with those sort of elevated basics that you actually want to wear when the mercury drops, I honestly struggled to pick my favourite buys out of the new in edit. But, eventually, I decided to stick to the pieces that I believe look far and beyond their high-street price tag and also are easily mixed and matched. So what does this look like? We’re talking flattering wide leg jeans, boxy leather jackets, colourful knits, chunky boots and layerable knits. So much goodness, so little time.
If you were to push me to pick one item, I would have to go for the textured funnel neck jumper in lime green. Why? I really think a colour-pop knit will be an invaluable asset in your new season wardrobe as it will instantly add an AW21 spin to the neutrals that proliferated last year. I’m thinking a lime green knit styled with wide leg jeans, chunky boots and an oversized trench coat. Oh so chic. So, if you want to see a round-up of the autumn M&S buys that I would happily ‘add to basket’, just keep on scrolling.
