When it comes to your winter wardrobe, Marks & Spencer is the gift that keeps on giving. Fresh off the launch of its autumn collection, fronted by Holly Willoughby and Vicky McClure, comes the new Per Una range.
With staple additions to shop, you’ll find cosy knitwear, soft denim, timeless tailoring and checked outerwear, with prices starting from just £12.50. There’s also a sprinkling of velvet and satin, which we think we’ll be seeing a lot more of on the high street in the run up to Christmas.
All available to shop now online and in stores, here’s our favourite pieces.
A relaxed fit midi dress will be the most versatile piece in your wardrobe. This floral style can be dressed down with chunky biker boots (we love the M&S ones worn here) and leather jacket, or dressed up with a pair of heels and wool coat for big days in the office.
It’s easy to fall into the habit of wearing jeans all the time, so up the ante with a smart corduroy pair instead. The chocolate brown shade will pair perfectly with a cable knit jumper too.
Alpaca V Neck Jumper, £45
Thank goodness for the cold weather, as you can finally get back into knitwear without sweating all the time. This v-neck jumper with side splits and a relaxed fit is the perfect layering tool when it gets chilly. Wear over midi skirts, dresses and tucked into trousers.
Herringbone Longline Double Breasted Coat, £149
If you’re in the market for an investment coat, this will surely tick all your boxes. The double-breasted longline design adds a stylish edge to your winter wardrobe and the red wool and alpaca blend is a refreshing alternative to black.
A timeless piece to have in your closet is of course a chunky knit. Embellished with gold buttons on the sleeve, it’s a snug but easy-to-style piece. For a double dose of gold, pair with chunky hoops too.
Velvet Belted Blazer, £89
While M&S has styled this with a shirt and jeans, we think this would ace over a black satin slip skirt. It’s the perfect Christmas party piece.
This jumper is an easy way to introduce a variety of colours into your outfits with minimal effort. With a ribbed hem, cuffs and neck, the wool and alpaca blend will keep the chill out while you stay looking stylish.
Remember that knaki v-neck jumper from before? Wear it with these ankle-grazing trousers for a chic co-ord set. Style with trainers for an off-duty look.
