With fewer grey clouds on the horizon and sunny days just around the corner, the great seasonal shift is finally here. But before we can leave cold-weather dressing behind us, we must make it through an unpredictable spring (in other words, don’t get rid of your layers quite yet). As I slowly and optimistically start to embrace warmer accents in my own wardrobe, I’ve noticed a few trend-led gaps arising. With so many high-street stores unveiling their new season offerings, there was one place I know to look first for classic staples and runway inspired buys: Marks and Spencer.
A must for those hunting for expensive-looking pieces at an affordable price, M&S is the go-to for every savvy and sophisticated dresser, but especially this spring. Its digital shelves are filled with timeless silhouettes, on-trend colourways and enviable styling inspiration, and scrolling through the new-in section offers a cost effective way to dive into this seasons trends without breaking the bank.

With fashion currently leaning in to a nostalgic mood, the new-in section shadows exactly the retro references we’d already spotted on the runway. From cool girl jackets (and what’s not to love about a denim bomber with a leather trim), to romantic shades of petal pink, just one or two of these pieces will take your capsule wardrobe into the new season with ease.
So whether you’re in desperate need of a new sneaker or a nostalgic pair of jeans, M&S’s spring new-in has got you covered for the season ahead. Scroll down to discover the 5 trends well worth your attention below. Happy shopping!
