As a fashion editor, I spend my days honing the art of shopping. We curate trends, predict coveted items, and sift through endless racks (both virtual and physical) to find the pieces that really matter. After years of doing this, I’ve become somewhat of an expert at finding items that not only look classic and classy, but also work in real life. As we head into 2025, I’ve been focusing on the trends that will become mainstream. There’s nothing more satisfying than finding wardrobe pieces that align with my beliefs of being timeless yet trend-forward.

Whether it’s buttery-soft knitwear or perfectly tailored coats, the brand has mastered the art of creating staple pieces that feel far more luxurious than their price tags suggest. For years I’ve relied on M&S for versatile trench coats that always add sophistication to any outfit, and leather loafers for any occasion. The best part? The selection caters to almost any style sensibility. Whether you’re looking to reinvent the basics or branch out into something a little more daring, M&S always offers chic yet practical pieces. This reliability is what makes me (and almost everyone I know) a loyal customer year after year.
