Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
Similarly to the noughties-inspired top, the frock is also taking the internet by storm, winning close to five stars on M&S website.
One customer said: ''I absolutely love this dress, it’s so flattering on and is perfect for summer. I usually wear a 12 and bought it in medium and it’s a great fit.''
Another agreed, writing: ''Lovely dress. So easy and comfortable to wear. I have received lots of complaints when I have worn this dress.''
Amazed by the goodies she found - which also included stunning statement accessories and bits for weddings - Georgia wrote in the caption: ''M&S is so good right now, wow.''
