M&S Insider Caley wearing pink maxi smock dress

Think pink with a smock dress

Brighten up grey mornings with a splash of pink. This smock dress is cut to a flattering midi length, with a delicately frilled high neckline and shirred yoke for a romantic look. Caley styles the dress with black boots, but it would look just as great with trainers for weekends exploring the city or teamed with sandals for picnics later in the season.

M&S Insider Caley wearing M&S checked midi shirt dress

Puff up the volume with statement sleeves

Caley’s checked midi dress has a button-down front, flattering side splits and a detachable belt to draw in the waist, however, the real stars of the show are the voluminous puff sleeves. Humble checks are an easy alternative to go-to florals on sunny days, whether you choose sweet gingham or a traditional plaid. Trainers and a leather tote bag are the only accessories you’ll need.

M&S Insider Caley wearing pink floral-print midi dress

Floral prints, remixed

Florals for spring might be a sartorial cliché but there’s a reason they work. After seasons of muted hues and androgynous silhouettes, this spring it’s all about hyper-femininity. Try remixing a floral dress with smart touches, like three-quarter-length sleeves and tie belts, and keeping the midi length that you know and love. Maximise the look with a bold necklace to complement the V-neckline.
