Five essential style buys for summer from Marks & Spencer

By M&S Apr 27, 2018

With warmer weather finally on the horizon, it’s time to pack away your coats, knitwear and boots and refresh your wardrobe with lighter layers. From sunshine-ready tops to breathable linen trousers, consider this your new-season shopping list.

Call off the search for the ultimate summer dress; we’ve found it for you. This striking wrap dress is the answer to every smart-casual event invitation in your diary, but it is also a stylish weekend option too. The optimistic colour and striking print are contemporary, while the figure-flattering style is timelessly elegant. White block-heel sandals and gold jewellery will lift the look for smarter occasions, while flat sandals and a straw bag create a more relaxed feel.

Statement earrings are the easiest way to add personality to a look, and these bejewelled lemon-segments are zesty fresh. Fruit motifs are on trend for summer, while tapping into the holiday state of mind, making them an instant outfit-maker during the warmer months. Wear with everything from brightly-coloured tops to breezy sun dresses, with hair pulled back to show them off to their full potential. Compliments guaranteed.

Rising temperatures call for shorter sleeves and this simple pure cotton T-shirt ticks all the boxes. Pared back of unnecessary details, it features a flattering neckline and elbow-length sleeves and looks great worn with everything from a midi skirt to your favourite jeans. Understated needn’t mean dull: this essential style comes in 12 shades, so you can update your staples with rainbow-bright colour, as well as black, white and grey. Well, at £6.50 a pop it would be rude not to.

Nothing says summer like a fresh pair of white trouser, and a versatile straight-leg cut is ideal for everyday wear. The breezy linen-rich fabric is the perfect material for warmer weather as it is naturally breathable thanks to the moisture-wicking properties of the flax fibres. Pair with a relaxed blouse and open-toe sandals for casual days or dress up with a blazer and heels for evening. The best bit? All of Marks and Spencer’s linen range is machine-washable and easy to iron. Hurrah!

Step into the new season with a new pair of sandals on your feet – after all, good shoes take you to good places, a sentiment we can all get behind for summer. Metallic leather is an easy way to add a subtle shimmer to any outfit, making this cross-strap design a wise choice for day to evening wear. This stylish pair from the new Light As Air range at Marks and Spencer feature a memory foam insole for a personalised fit and a durable outer sole for long-lasting wear.
