19 Wardrobe Staples M&S Has Really Nailed This Spring
Sponsor Content Created With Marks and Spencer
M&S has always been considered a go-to for wardrobe basics such as underwear, denim, cashmere and spring coats. But with traditional fashion categories becoming blurrier over the last two years, we're finding this high-street stalwart to be more relevant than ever. Officewear and casualwear are no longer the key fashion subcategories. Instead, high-low dressing has taken over as a new hybrid approach to fashion that caters to everything from work to weddings.
Thanks to its changeable weather, the spring season particularly lends itself to this more flexible approach to dressing, and we already have an ever-growing wish list of stylish yet smart pieces from M&S's new curated collection, the Edit. In our line-up are the usual suspects: dreamy tailoring, comfy yet cool sandals, throw-on dresses and true blue jeans. We have, however, thrown in a few personality pieces that you might not expect from M&S. We're talking leopard-print coats, short-sleeved leather jackets, and even a cheeky suede clog. (Oh, yes.) So much godness, so little time. So if you're looking for a few polished staples to add to your spring capsule, scroll down to see and shop our M&S shortlist.
