Be won over, whatever your age, by the new season collection from the high street store...
Has Marks and Spencer clothing struck high fashion gold with their latest autumn/winter collection?
Their new season collection is full of stand-out pieces for every occasion and, as always, champions contemporary designs whilst celebrating classic shapes and styles.
It might seem far away to us, but brands are already releasing previews of their autumn/winter collections, and this offering is bound to get you counting down the days until cooler weather means a new wardrobe. This year, Marks and Spencer clothing is all about stepping away from the typical chunky jumpers where possible, and instead embracing layering, textures and minimalism.
Look for key pieces, such as classic tailored coats with could-be-designer detailing and textures that can be worn layered up, and refined designs with a structured edge that will be the talking point of your look. Pair with stand-out accessories for an instant update.
Those who prefer a more relaxed style will want to snap up the loose-fit trousers and dresses from this collection. With an abundance of great tailoring and classic cuts, there's a distinct nod to the comfortably-structured trend that has been around for a while now - but certainly won't be going anywhere next season. Think spring/summer's style with a more grown-up edge.
For the perfect stylish workwear look, the stylish suits, trousers and skirts are ideal. Modern silhouettes paired with head-turning accessories and simple shoes for a stand-out look that is so easy to wear.
Whether you're looking ahead to plan for those few key pieces that will update your look for the new season or planning a whole new wardrobe update, Marks and Spencer clothing has got you covered. Click through to for your masterclass in new season dressing - minimal styling required - and show off your style credentials by knowing all of next season's key trends already...
