Over the past few seasons, M&S has quietly become one of the most exciting places to shop on the high street. Between its increasingly on-trend designs and consistent drops of exciting new arrivals, I find myself checking out the British clothing brand far more often than I used to.

Now, as part of its ongoing "Love That" campaign, M&S has released its new spring 2026 womenswear collection alongside a new video with newly appointed Chief Compliments Officer, Gillian Anderson. Dishing out compliments to those wearing the latest collection, the social media video features M&S's new-in staples that we're keen to add to our spring capsule wardrobe before they sell out.

M&S

Jersey Midi Bodycon Dress

Worn by Gillian herself, this black jersey dress offers an effortless way to channel business-chic. Wear with a sharp blazer and some slingback heels for maximum impact.

M&S

High Waisted Wide Leg Turn Up Jeans

M&S is home to some of the best wide-leg jeans, including this extremely cool turn-up pair. A versatile everyday staple, these jeans pair well with open-toe sandals, comfy trainers or even smart loafers; the styling options are endless.

M&S

Cotton Rich Textured Cropped Knitted Jacket

Layer up this season with this beautiful crochet jacket. Made with an easy, regular fit and a classic round neck, this is the kind of layer that will pair well with everything, from laid-back denim to floaty midi dresses.

M&S

Denim Collarless Jacket

Offering a fresh, feminine take on a classic denim jacket, I see this collarless design selling out fast. Its lightweight design makes it the perfect layering piece during the transitional months.

M&S

Floral Textured Knitted Mini Dress

Get prepared for the warmer season ahead with this cream-textured dress. It features a soft knitted texture and a floral embroidered finish. Team with open-toe wedges and a blazer for a spring-ready date night outfit.

M&S

Faux Leather Collarless Jacket

Pale yellow shades still reign as a key part of the spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026, and this collarless jacket offers the ultimate way to embrace these trending hues. Pair with bright neutrals, blue denim or with other spring pastels.

M&S

Twist Knot Stud Earrings

These knotted earrings will subtly add a statement to your everyday attire. We would recommend pairing them alongside other chunky gold jewellery, such as this sculptural gold cuff.

M&S

Pure Cotton Poplin Midi Skirt

Who can deny the appeal of a floaty cotton skirt, especially on sunny days? Picture this paired with soft cotton t-shirts, leather fisherman sandals and a lightweight cardigan.

M&S

Pure Cotton Embroidered Striped Shirt

This shirt combines smart blue stripes with a delicate white embroidery for a feminine look. Co-ords are the universe's answer when searching "what should I wear today?" So shop the matching shorts for a seamless finishing touch.

M&S

Pure Cotton Embroidered Striped Shorts

Made from pure cotton, these shorts have a flattering high-waisted design and a comfortable elasticated waist that makes wearing them a breeze. Their breathable design makes them a must-have if you're jetting off on holiday soon.

M&S

Denim Textured Cropped Jacket

This textured denim jacket offers an updated take on a classic featuring a boucle-like finish. It also has elevated gold-tone buttons and two handy front pockets that make it feel far more expensive than it actually is.

M&S

Pure Cotton Denim Tufted Mini Shift Dress

Looking for a seamlessly styled outfit? Pair this textured mini dress with the matching cropped jacket for an elegant finish. All you need to add now are M&S's new leather twist bow loafers.

M&S

Buckle Flat Mary Jane Ballet Pumps

Mary-Jane ballet flats still reign as one of the key spring/summer shoe trends 2026, and what better way of embracing this trend than with this woven warm-weather style. Plus, they come in four colourways, including blush pink.

M&S

Pure Cotton Cropped Utility Jacket

This utility-style jacket is already selling fast. It features a soft camel colour, a chic funnel neck collar, and a cropped design that would pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers or denim jeans.

M&S

V-Neck Ruffle Detail Long Sleeve Blouse

Lean into fashion's love of all things yellow with this ruffle-neck blouse. Perfect for adding a pop of colour to otherwise neutral outfits, this is the kind of blouse that you can rely on to brighten your smart-casual outfits.

It's clear that for spring 2026, M&S has fully embraced a lighter, brighter colour palette. Soft tones, including buttermilk yellow and baby blues, heavily feature, and we can't get enough of them. Whether you choose to wear these spring-ready hues head-to-toe or plan to use these softer shades to uplift darker neutrals, it's always a great idea to introduce more colour to your wardrobe ahead of the warmer months.
