As we start transitioning from spring to summer, many of us, myself included, are beginning to rethink our wardrobes in favour of lighter fabrics, one-and-done dresses and other key holiday staples. From breezy linen separates to easy throw-on pieces that work both in the city and abroad, summer is the time when airy yet stylish fashion becomes non-negotiable.
Luckily, M&S has just launched its new holiday collection, and it may be one of the brand’s strongest summer edits yet. Filled with relaxed tailoring, embroidered details and floaty silhouettes in soft neutrals and coastal shades, the high street favourite has truly nailed high-summer dressing.
And with the release of M&S’s first ever livestream, Casa Del Compliments, featuring Amelia Dimoldenberg, it feels like the perfect time to start searching for summer wardrobe staples that will see you through the balmy season.
The co-ords are already proving themselves as standout pieces, while the broderie mini dresses and boho-inspired separates look far more premium than their price tags suggest. Swimwear is also especially strong this season, with flattering textured fabrics and classic styles and patterns designed to be worn beyond the pool.
