While my body may still be experiencing the harsh cold of winter, my mind is already immersed in all things spring—particularly the fashion. It’s with this forward thinking that I’ve already set about mentally creating our perfect springtime wardrobe. From the next sell-out sandals to the best linen finds, I’m quietly archiving my favourite pieces as I see them, which I’ll then loop back around to when the weather changes.
There is, however, one brand that seems to have mastered the art of creating spring-appropriate pieces that you can start wearing right now. And that brand is Marks and Spencer.
Much to my delight, so many of the pieces I saw and loved in the Marks and Spencer S/S 22 press day last year have already started to appear in its new arrivals. From sleek, go-with-everything blazers and premium cashmere to could-be-designer handbags, good old M&S is ticking off top trends left, right and centre—and all on a relatively lean budget.
There are so many treats to be had that I’ve had to control myself, and in doing so, I’ve inadvertently created the ultimate springtime Marks and Spencer capsule. Keep scrolling to see my edit.
