There’s something about the start of spring that always feels like a style reset. As the days get lighter and the promise of warmer weather hangs in the air, I find myself tempted to refresh my capsule wardrobe. But rather than diving headfirst into fleeting trends, I’m taking a more considered approach this year—focusing on timeless pieces that offer longevity and style. Now is the perfect moment to invest in elevated essentials that will see me through the season and far beyond. Enter Marks & Spencer.
A brand that continues to impress me, M&S has truly mastered the art of delivering polished, fashion-forward pieces without ever compromising on quality. What I love most is that everything feels purposeful—elegant silhouettes, thoughtful detailing, and a colour palette that works seamlessly with everything I already own. Yes, the pieces tap into current 2025 fashion trends, but they do so in a way that feels classic rather than passing. It’s that rare balance between feeling current and being timeless that makes each item feel like a wise wardrobe investment.
Whether it’s a chic jacket to see you through the season, an effortless midi dress or the perfect wide-leg linen trousers, M&S has curated a spring offering that feels elevated but extremely wearable. These are the pieces that instantly pull an outfit together—the kind you’ll reach for again and again. And while they look right at home in this season’s moodboards, you can be sure they’ll still feel relevant for years to come.

6 Elegant Spring Trends Marks & Spencer Has Mastered
1. Refined Bomber Jackets
Style Notes: Now is the time to consider storing away your heavy coats and, instead, embrace lightweight jackets. Right now, bomber styles are cropping up all over the market, but Marks & Spencer’s styles are in a league of their own in terms of chicness. In elevated fabrics and with simple cuts, each presents a very grown-up way to embrace the jacket trend.

The puffed out waistline on this style gives a chic silhouette.

Faux Leather Relaxed Fit Jacket
I love how this jacket looks softened with light-coloured trousers and skirts.
2. Boat Shoes
Style Notes: If you live in flat shoes but are tiring of traditional loafers and ballet pumps, M&S has come through with the ideal alternative: Boat shoes. Synonymous with yachting and other regatta pursuits, boat shoes give off a wealthy energy that few other items can. The fact you can snag your pair for under £50 at M&S makes this investment all the more tempting.

3. Linen Trousers
Style Notes: And just like that, linen season is upon us and, in my opinion, no one does linen trousers better than M&S. The brand has already come through with so many timeless pairs ready for the season ahead. Me? I’m into the ultra-wide styles, but my striped linens from a few years ago could do with an upgrade, too.

4. Textured Dresses
Style Notes: There are lots of excellent M&S dresses I could have spotlit but the overriding theme running throughout the collection has to be texture. From ultra-fine pleats to pretty lace to elegant drapery, interesting, tactile fabrics are setting these frocks apart from the rest on the market.

5. Woven Bags
Style Notes: Woven bags are synonymous with luxury (I don’t think I need to remind you which brand started it all). However, if you don’t have the budget to invest in one of the designer originals, feast your eyes on Marks & Spencer’s fresh drop of woven bag styles.

6. Circle Skirts
Style Notes: Jeans and trousers are staples, this we know but nothing rivals how elegant you feel when you pull on a chic, full skirt. M&S knows this and is catering to this this spring with a slew of circle skirts in an array of timeless colours. Take your pick.
