I found the perfect summer outfits for work – best of all it’s all from M&S and under £45
Marks and Spencer - also known as M&S is a firm high street favourite with plenty of own brands, such as Autograph and Per Una, to shop, as well as other labels.
M&S has collaborated with Rosie Huntington Whiteley, as well as Holly Willoughby on numerous collections over the last few years, while Binky Felstead and Stacey Solomon are new ambassadors. So it's safe to say M&S is at the peak of its fashion game.

There's nothing worse than being in a stuffy office, barely seeing the day of light, after a suffocatingly hot and sweaty commute, come the warmer seasons.
Finding that happy balance between office appropriate and staying cool is a fine balance, let alone finding layers for the unpredictable British weather in summer alone, but can help.

Our top summer work outfits tips
1. Find your minimalist summer style with a jumpsuit
Jumpsuits are super easy to style, effortless, cool and super chic.
M&S' Pure Cotton Cropped Jumpsuit is lightweight, loose-fitting, without being too slouchy and sloppy, thanks to the tie front fastening.
One Marks & Spencer customer described the jumpsuit as: “Super comfy and stylish, formal enough for the office and looks great with a top underneath in the chilly weather.”

2. Go bold, it is summer after all!
A summer dress is all we want to live in when the sun comes out, but finding one suitable for the office can be difficult - if allowed.
Some popular styles for the office include tea dresses, wrap dresses, midi or maxi designs, as well as dresses with short sleeves, or long sleeves to cover your flesh a little.
The Smocked Strappy Midaxi Dress has thicker straps, which are favourable over spaghetti straps, it features a ruched bust detail and comes in black and lime green.
One M&S shopper has dubbed the lime dress as the “stand out dress of the summer", while we think it's very similar to Ganni creations.

3. Modern monochrome, the summer go-to
The Linen Rich Embroidered Collared Shirt is a welcome twist on a classic linen shirt, or cotton white shirt, with the addition of the contrast leaf embroidery.
While High Waisted Shorts are super flattering with the high-waisted design, but rest assured they are not skimpy or too short for the office.
An M&S customer says: “A classic, good quality shirt that can easily be dressed up or down”.
