Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product 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 them selling 170% vs plan, 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 how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“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 on year.”
Shoppers have widely applauded it for its weatherproof qualities, stating it as “perfect for rainy days” and adaptable to “unpredictable weather“.
One woman beamed: “Great for the rainy weather in the UK. Its waterproofing material is brilliant.”

Another chimed in: “Wanted a lightweight raincoat that wasn’t a ‘puffa style’.
“This has slight padding inside with a great hood and high button collar with press stud pockets…perfect for those rainy days.”
The must-have colour for autumn wardrobes
WHEN it comes to colour, one in particular has dominated the A/W runways.
Maroon has been seen on big-name designer catwalks such as Tom Ford, Gucci, Valentino and Versace, to name a few.
Perfect to mix with your current wardrobe, don’t think that this deep shade is just for the colder months.
It’s also great to wear at this time of year and one you can continue wearing throughout the rest of the year and beyond.
Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend said: “There’s something about maroon’s deep, rich colour that instantly makes you look well put-together and expensive.”
At the same time, someone else wrote: “It does keep you dry and the rain just rolls off. Brilliant! “
Not only this, but one happy shopper explained: “I was looking for a wind and waterproof coat and found this coat exactly what I wanted.
“It has a cosy quilted lining and lots of pockets. Tested it out in a downpour and got home dry.”
Whilst one M&S fan penned: “Just what I wanted for unpredictable weather.
“Longline, warm, and rubbery outer for unexpected downpours.”
