Marks & Spencer is the reigning champion of the British high street. High-quality fashion at affordable prices, countless viral hits, as well as collabs with Sienna Miller and Bella Freud, the latter of which literally just dropped... Honestly, what’s not to love?
With properly cold weather descending, there's no time like the present to bolster your wardrobe with buttery leather and fluffy faux-fur textures for the season ahead. And with a collection as chic as the new M&S offering, it's almost impossible to resist.
No stranger to elevated outerwear and sought-after accessories that can easily compete with premium purchases, I predict several sell-outs ahead.
Not only have we been drooling over the M&S new-in section for a good few weeks already, but given its hiatus earlier this year, it feels like something of a civic duty to support the much-loved British brand now that it's firmly back, too.
So, without further ado, I've collated the 18 best fashion finds to shop from M&S now in preparation for chilly mornings—and to save you frantically scrolling the New Arrivals page in the hopes you haven't missed any hero pieces.
