M&S x Silverstone 'Dress to Thrill' collection has stopped me in my tracks – these 9 favourite pieces feel so high-end
From racing red outerwear to bright white tailoring, this collection is worth shopping before it sells out
M&S has become my go-to for trend-led fashion at affordable prices, and no one quite collaborates as well as they do. Celebrating their partnership with Silverstone, their recent collection has stopped me in my tracks whilst bringing high-end glamour to the high street.
The M&S X Silverstone: Dress to Thrill collection marks the coming together of two unmistakably British institutions. To celebrate, the Formula 1 British Grand Prix kick off on Sunday, 5th July, M&S has put together this dynamic edit. Featuring utility-inspired outerwear, monochrome shades with dashes of racing red and elevated accessories, this collection is worth shopping right now, which is why I've rounded up my favourite pieces below.
Not only have the British clothing brand delivered this exceptional collection, but they also hosted the first-ever fashion show held at Silverstone's iconic pit lane. Taking over the space, they staged a runway showcasing the womenswear looks alongside the menswear collection that's also available to shop online.
This checked funnel neck windbreaker brings a sporty edge to everyday dressing with its relaxed silhouette, high neckline and lightweight fabric. This is an easy layering piece that will pair perfectly with denim or tailoring.
Made from a breathable cotton-rich fabric, this checked maxi skirt blends a sporty print with a feminine silhouette. The soft pleats will add movement to your shape, and the side button detailing makes this piece even more stylish.
A timeless wardrobe piece, these leather stilettos are the kind of heels you'll reach for every season. Their neutral colour makes them a versatile choice too. Style with your best summer dresses or simply elevate your favourite denim pieces.
Perfect for layering over your favourite summer wedding guest dresses, or for pairing with the matching trousers, this blazer is a sleek addition to your current tailoring collection.
With its soft suedette finish and trendy funnel neck, we expect this style to sell out fast. The shorter shape lends itself perfectly to pairing with high-waisted denim, midi-skirts or tailored trousers.
Sophisticated and endlessly versatile, this high-neck cowl top is the perfect piece for evenings out with friends or for a date night outfit. The softly draped neckline creates a flattering silhouette, whilst its neutral colour makes it easy to style.
Nothing beats a white jeans outfit in the warmer season, and these flares will be a stylish addition to your current rotation. The silhouette is perfect for those with pear or apple-shaped bodies, as it will balance your shape.
With its fluid silhouette and striking marble print, this slip dress is a statement piece that feels extremely elegant. The sleek shape will skim your body beautifully, and the unique pattern adds a contemporary edge.
Similar to M&S's viral red windbreaker jacket that sold out immediately, this jacket has a high-end feel thanks to its statement design. The trending pigmented red will complement denim blues perfectly.
Already a best-selling style, this jersey dress is effortlessly flattering thanks to its ruched detailing across the front. The high-neck and dropped waist make this dress feel extremely elegant. Wear for both daytime plans and evenings out.
These retro-inspired sunglasses feature dark brown lenses and a trendy rectangular shape. You might not think of M&S for the best sunglasses, but they have plenty of affordable styles that channel the latest trends for less.
This ivory skirt features a tonal textured pattern that makes it feel far more high-end than it is. Perfect for pairing with silky blouses or a sharp, tailored blazer, it's the type of piece that you will get plenty of wear out of.
Sharry Cramond, Marketing Director for Fashion, Home & Beauty at M&S, said: “We’re so excited to be partnering with Silverstone across its incredible season, including the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix 2026."
"Bringing fashion to the track like this, with the first-ever pit lane fashion show, is a really bold step for us, and a great example of how we’re showing up in new, unexpected ways at the UK’s biggest moments and delivering something that no one has done before."
From sport-inspired lightweight jackets that will work well into autumn to silky slip dresses and ivory tailoring that will slot seamlessly into your occasionwear rotation, this edit offers pieces you'll return to long after race season has ended. Plus, if previous launches are anything to go by, these pieces are unlikely to stay in stock long, so we suggest that you get shopping!
