As a fashion editor, I spend my days refining the art of shopping—curating trends, predicting coveted pieces, and sifting through endless racks (both virtual and physical) to find the pieces that fit. Really matter. After doing this for years, I’ve become somewhat of an expert at recognizing pieces that not only look classic and elevated but also work in real life. Heading into 2025, I have my eye on the trends that are going to dominate, and there’s nothing more satisfying than uncovering wardrobe gems that align with my mantra: timeless but trend-forward. My favorite source for these discoveries? marks and Spencer– an iconic British brand that is always two steps ahead when it comes to accessible luxury and reliable infrastructure.

Let’s be honest: M&S is practically a national treasure. Whether it’s buttery-soft knitwear or a perfectly tailored coat, the brand has mastered the art of creating staples that feel far more premium than their price tags. For years, I’ve relied on M&S for versatile trench coats that always add a certain sparkle to any outfit and leather loafers that work for every occasion. The best part? The selection caters to almost every style sensibility. Whether you’re reinventing your basics or moving on to something bolder, M&S consistently offers pieces as practical as they are attractive. It’s this reliability that makes me (and almost everyone I know) a loyal customer year after year.
