‘M&S have done it again!’ shoppers scream about must-have summer co-ord that’s ‘not clingy at all’ and ‘so flattering’
IT’S no secret by now that Marks & Spencer have some of the best clothes on the high street.
From basic tees and everyday leggings to must-have summer dresses and uber-comfortable heels that are dupes of designer styles, the retailer has everything.
And its new knit co-ord, part of the hotly-anticipated M&S summer collection, is set to be a sell-out.
It has already received rave reviews from some fashion fans for not being clingy and having a “flattering silhouette”.
The co-ord comes in two hues of silver and ‘ivory’ – both of which have been a huge hit.
The Cotton Rich Textured Knitted Top will set you back £29.50.
“This cotton-rich knitted top is a versatile piece that will slot effortlessly into your warm-weather wardrobe,” M&S bosses said.
“Regular fit, with a crew neckline and sleeveless design.
“A textured open knit creates a light, airy feel.”
The matching £35 Cotton Rich Textured Knitted Midi Skirt is made from the same knit.
“This knitted skirt is a subtle option for your smart-casual wardrobe, made from cotton-rich material to create a breathable feel,” M&S bosses added.
“It features an elasticated waist to provide all-day comfort, and the textured fabric gives it an on-trend look.
“The piece is complete with a midi-length hem for a timeless finish.”
One shopper recommended wearing the top tucked into the skirt and praised how it can be “dressed up or down”.
“I’m a size 12 and went for a medium,” another said about the knit top.
“It’s great length for jeans and skirts.
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds.
- Don’t ever spend on designer denim: River Island ”always has such a great selection with fashion- forward jeans that follow the current trends”. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 – UK 18, and three leg lengths – and prices start from an affordable £25.
- There are no rules for jewels: ”Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.”
- Don’t forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there really is no excuse of not buying – or selling – pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
“It’s not clingy at all and the neckline is very flattering.
“I wear a sports bra under mine.
“M&S you have done it again; great staple piece.”
“This top and skirt combo is lovely,” another beamed.
“It reminds me of something I wore in the Seventies.”
