AJANUARY is finally over. The first day of spring is officially one month away. Uplifting, sunny days are almost upon us again and we can’t wait to ditch the winter woolies.

And Marks & Spencer has the answer to all our dressing dilemmas with a gorgeous new collection with looks for every occasion.

Speaking about the mystical M&S woman, style director Belinda Earl said: “She likes things she can dress up, dress down, so blazers are great because they can be formal but then you can make them more casual by pairing them with a fluted dress.”

With a nod to luxe designers such as Celine, Chloe and Stella Mccartney, the new collection is what the cool girls wear when they grow up.

Highlights from the SS18 M&S range include super transitional pieces such as a burgundy jumpsuit teamed with a light knit, spring outerwear in stripes and a musthave brilliant long yellow coat.

Jeans have been given a makeover in a lovely boyish cut and as the weather heats up, we’ll be investing in the silk blouses and summer trousers in uplifiting ice-cream shades.

For summer workwear we love the midi skirts, blazers and Alexa Chung-inspired prairie dresses. M&S Collection top, €40 Per Una trouser, €67 M&S Collection jumpsuit, €67, top, €24, bag, €40
