INSTAGRAM INSIDERS: SUMMER STYLE
Want to see the best new clothes from M&S? Then you need to follow the M&S Insiders. Below, five of our in-the-know Instagram stars share their favourite fashion vibes right now to create stylish summer outfits
Sam’s style: beautiful prints
“I’m a textiles graduate and have always been mesmerised by colour and pattern, so naturally I’m infatuated by these two dresses – they have such super-cool prints. The Per Una heart shirt dress is an entry-level print – beautifully understated and classic (and the fabric is wonderfully light, so perfect in the heat) – while the floral dress is a punchier print but I love how the muted colours keep it chilled and easy to wear.”
Sam, visual section manager, Aberdeen store @marksandspencer_sam
Dominique’s style: chic trousers
“Two pairs of trousers, two different vibes. White jeans are such a summer classic and this high-waisted pair is perfect. I’ve kept the look monochrome and elegant with this lightweight cardigan, loafers and classic bag. And as for the jumpsuit, its utility style doesn’t need any dressing up – it’s perfect as it is. I can totally see why Holly Willoughby picked it as part of her Holly Loves edit. I love it too!”
Dominique, footwear buying admin assistant @marksandspencer_dominique
Nicola’s style: simple silhouettes
“I love classic, easy-to-wear, easy-to-style pieces – and this pleated midi skirt and shirt dress (part of the Holly Loves edit) are exactly that. Skirts and tees are my go-to; they always look great but are so comfortable to wear, particularly this skirt as it has the bonus of an elasticated waist – joy! As for the dress, I just know I’ll wear again and again. A true classic that’s incredibly flattering.”
Nicola, beauty assistant, Gyle store @marksandspencer_nicola
Charlotte’s style: pops of pink
“After living in black and grey for way too long, bright colours are ruling my wardrobe right now. I feel rock’n’roll in this poppy pink suit and the animal-print heels add to the vibe. The boho dress is a beautiful addition to my wardrobe. It’s a stunning print but all details, like the shirred cuffs and pretty lace at the top, take it next level. When the weather cools I’ll throw my leather jacket over the top.”
Charlotte, stylist/visual merchandiser, Biggleswade store @marksandspencer_charlotte
Patrycja’s style: urban edge
“I love taking classic items and mixing them up a bit for a street-style vibe. These Mia trousers are perfect for work with a blazer and loafers, but come the weekend I inject a bit of attitude by adding in sneakers and a knotted vintage-style tee. Same with this pretty-as skirt: wearing it with a slogan tee and denim jacket takes it from garden party to actual party!”
