I was lucky enough to see a sneak preview of the M&S spring/summer 2024 ahead of them dropping online and into stores a few weeks ago, and I was overwhelmed with the store's new season offerings. From luxe tailoring to designer-inspired accessories there's no denying that the high street store has become a one-stop shop for affordable style finds.
However, I'm not the most patient, especially when I see something I want to buy for my new season wardrobe, however, I've had to wait a little while for some of the new pieces to become available. But trust me when I say they are worth the wait.
One of my favourite items from the new season collection has just dropped online and it looks way more expensive than it is. The Pure Cotton One Shoulder Blouse, £35 here also features in their 'Anything But Ordinary' advert.
If you're looking for a piece that will work around the clock then this is it. The cotton poplin fabric makes it lightweight and breathable for the daytime but it's a striking style, (thanks to the pretty puff sleeve), that can easily be dressed up for the evening too. Try it with a full flared skirt, leather trousers or metallic jeans and a pair of the gold maxi teardrop stud earrings, £14 here to elevate further.
For further styling inspiration, the brand has teamed it with the dark denim knee-length shorts, £35 here and red kitten heel sandals, £35 here, for a fun pop of colour.
Take it from me, an industry insider, fashion editors have been lusting over this design for months and I predict it will be a sell-out ahead of the warmer months arriving.
One-shoulder tops were a huge hit with designers showcasing the style on the SS24 catwalks, hence the trend now filtering on the high street, so if you want to be ahead of the game this season I suggest you pop one on your wish list pronto.
For those of you looking for a longer sleeve, or a brighter hue. You might prefer this yellow satin one-shoulder blouse from H&M. At £12.99 here it's certainly a purse-friendly purchase. Alternatively, this back flowy style from Na-kd, £39.95 here, will also help you to achieve the look without blowing the budget.
