The 16 Pieces From M&S We’ll Be Wearing On Repeat This Summer

The minute I spotted this on Instagram I knew I had to have it - I swear this elegant shirt dress will look amazing on any woman of any age. The tangerine tone, though bright, is extremely flattering for starters - the pretty print then enhances the dress while the waist is highlighted by a delicate tie. Roll up the sleeves for a more casual look and play with a clashing belt depending on the occasion.

We all need those throw-on-and-go tops that you can style with denim, shorts, mini skirts and midi skirts - and this blouson sleeve style is one of them.

Bikini shopping isn't always the most enjoyable of tasks but M&S has nailed it with this vibrant zebra two-piece, complete with tummy control high waisted briefs for maximum flattery in front of the mirror. Perfect whether you're at the local lido, posing poolside or want to feel comfortable when hitting up the coastline.

And for those looking for total coverage in the water, this pretty scallop trimmed design is the ideal way to make a classic shape feel transformed. A top tip for holidays? Rewear it as a top, tucked into shorts - dry, of course.

Jeans are a mainstay at any time of year, but in summer I prefer to switch over to lighter, brighter tones more suited to sunshine days. Designed in a flattering wide-leg fit with a figure-accentuating high waistband, this ecru pair boast a more trouser-like shape that works well with vests, tee, blouses - the lot.

Don't mess around - you know you'll be wearing these ultra-comfy flats for the foreseeable. The light brown is particularly versatile.

Garden parties, al fresco dinners, beachside strolls - this crochet cami dress does it all. Give it a casual feel with an oversized shacket and flats, before dressing up with jewellery and heels next time you have a big event.

If you're someone who struggles with jackets in the summer months, cosider this the jacket you've been waiting for. Granted this is more expensive than you'd usually expect to pay in M&S, but the brand has really invested in a beautifully soft and 100% real suede fabric to give this simple jacket a luxurious 70's feel. Honestly, throw it over dresses or jeans - it could well be the missing piece in your summer wardrobe.

Your everyday bag just got an upgrade. This duffle style is crafted from straw for a casual look and is the quickest way to shift your style into summer mode.

Add a touch of luxury to your casual wardrobe with this silk-cotton knitted polo shirt from the brand's Autograph collection - perfect for when a t-shirt feels too casual but a shirt far too smart.

As chinos are such a popular choice for the office, chino shorts can really struggle to fit into casual territory. This Autograph pair, however, are cut to a comfortable regular fit with an elasticated waist for a comfortable, sporty twist. The crease still gives a smart edge, but you wouldn't think twice about wearing them with trainers - especially in the soft ecru colourway.

There's more to linen shirts than just white, you know. Take this destination wedding staple into your everyday arsenal in a versatile soft green.

Another contender for swimwear you can wear outside of the pool are these seriously stylish seersucker swim shorts - they look fantastic styled with a shirt or tee.

If you're not a fan of sandals, but your trainers are suffocating your toes, give these breezy slip ons a try. These are a solid choice with chinos and shorts - and they come with Freshfeet™ technology too, a real gamechanger on sweltering days.

The perfect printed shirt for men who don't normally 'do' printed shirts. Just add shorts or a rolled up linen trouser.

Crafted from a blend of linen and cotton, this smart-casual overshirt will quickly become the hardest working item in your wardrobe. Feel free to buy one in every colour.
