Marks & Spencer's autumn collection will get you excited for the cold
We had an on-again-off-again relationship with summer this year, and we felt every bit of it. One minute, we were reaching for our sunnies, and the next, scrambling for a jacket. The indecision left our wardrobes feeling equally confused and, to be honest, a little bit deflated —never quite in sync with the weather, and never fully committing to a vibe. That's why for autumn we're resolving to be bolder and more decisive with our style choices, serving what Marks & Spencer has coined 'big autumn energy' - and honestly, we’re all in.
No more wishy washy looks, M&S's latest drop is everything we need to reignite our style confidence. Its latest line-up is bolder than ever before, covering the standout new season trends we crave mingled with confident takes on the autumn classics we need. Think a traditional trench coat with a strong tailored silhouette and modern check. Slinky satin skirts in double-take colours or laden with applique detail for extra rizz. Acid lemon knits which make a cold day even cooler. M&S really didn’t come to mess around.
After a summer that left us feeling sartorially stunted, this collection is exactly what we needed. It’s confident, it’s bold, and it’s here to prove that autumn is where we really get to shine. Need proof? We’ve got it. Scroll on to discover our pick of the season’s standout styles; the ones which we’d put good money on selling out sharpish. So don’t wait around for an Indian summer – make the autumn switch with the 17 pieces below.
