Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale reveals to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explains:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there are so many good products to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ – that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high-street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super-strong with the brand selling way more than predicted, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year. This comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but also how easy they are to wear.
“Price is also a big factor – you will be able to get many good-quality pieces for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection, I can reveal there are so many more amazing pieces that will drop over the next few months.
“Think leopard-print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year after year.”
