Marks and Spencer unveils new range with stylish undies, statement trends and bright dresses to help you put a Spring in your step
Will it be enough to win back the shoppers who deserted M&S?
THE future of fashion at Marks & Spencer looked in doubt after it announced plans to shut 30 UK stores and convert 45 more into food-only shops.
But its range for Spring/Summer 2017 proves the High Street stalwart is still doing what it does best.
I had an exclusive look at what M&S has to offer.
The collection is stylish and trend-led, and there are statement items that can be paired with equally bold pieces or toned down with neutral staples.
But will it be enough to win back the shoppers who have deserted M&S? Director of Womenswear Jo Jenkins says: “We’ll get to the heart of the problem by listening to customers.”
The spaces for clothing in store will be smaller, but the quality and look proves M&S still has a spring in its step.
Non-wired bralets have been hugely popular recently, and the appeal of pretty lace and crochet styles is continuing to grow.
Stay in the pink. A bright and bold summer buy with flattering sleeves makes this the perfect look to suit all shapes and sizes.
This shirt is a hero piece. Perfect for the office or to wear on the weekend with jeans.
The M&S customer loves a bold skirt – and this midi A-line number is perfect for a summer event.
The M&S summer offering is bright and bold – perfect for your 2017 holidays. This floral maxi can be worn to dinner or dressed-down on the beach.
This gingham skirt looks way more expensive than it is. Teamed with ballet flats, this look is trend-led.
