M&S' 'flattering' £29.50 linen top is 'light and comfortable'
Shoppers love the 'light and comfortable' linen top that's been praised for its 'flattering' shape M&S shoppers are smitten with a "stylish" linen top that's "very flattering" and "comfortable." Customers have shared glowing reviews for the £29.50 Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top. Not all sizes are available, but the top is currently in stock in sizes 8 to 20. M&S ' product description says: "Breeze through sunny days in style with this lightweight linen-blend top. It's designed in a regular fit with a flattering square neckline for a modern touch. The sleeveless style keeps you cool while offering effortless freedom of movement." Similar styles from M&S include the £25 Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top, the £35 Linen Rich V-Neck Lace Insert Top, and the £39.50 Linen Rich Cutwork Detail Top. Elsewhere, various retailers offer alternative styles. For example, Next has a £26.50 White Sleeveless Shirt With Linen that could suit shoppers looking for workwear, Nobody's Child has a £42 White Linen-blend Swing Top that could impress those looking for a relaxed fit. Seasalt Cornwall also offers a £47.95 Lighthouse Station Linen Vest. That said, shoppers may still prefer the M&S Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top. It's loved by reviewers, who praised the look and feel of the product. However, some reported sizing issues, with many commenting on the straps. One happy shopper said: "Lovely material, falls really nicely, wide straps are very flattering, bought for summer, good with jeans and satin skirt etc." A second reviewer wrote: "Very flattering, light and comfortable summer top." Another fan agreed: "Easy and flattering. Some of us need a sun top which is more than a vest top. This one ticks that box very well. Good feel to the fabric." However, a shopper who had a problem with the fit said: "This top is light weight and very versatile. My only gripe with it is that it makes this weird looking crease in the middle & the straps fall down (a lot!) I suggest sizing down." A similar response read: "This is a nice top and this may be down to me but when trying it on the left shoulder kept slipping off onto my arm, so returned it." Someone else replied: "Great fabric. Good value. But no strap adjustment. "Liked the style and fabric. Good cover on the top, however had to return as the straps would not stay up when I tried it on and there is no adjustment. Bought for holiday." There were also mixed views on the silhouette. A reviewer shared: "Lovely top which will be perfect in warmer weather. My only slight criticism is that it's rather shapeless but I'm sure I'll be grateful for it being baggy when I'm hot." But another wrote: "I love a denim top, this is nice but I didn't like it quite enough to keep for the price. It's nice fabric but I would have liked it to have a bit more structure. The neckline is a good shape though." Despite some criticism, the majority of shoppers liked the top. For instance, someone said they liked the top when they sized down, explaining: "Fabric is soft and looks very fresh for summer. But it sizes very big. "Buy small otherwise it does a strange crease in the front." Another pleased fan said: "Love this top, great quality, comfortable and stylish."

She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.' "Lovely lightweight skirt. Feels very comfortable on. Love the waist with elastic to fit any shape. Can wear high up on waist or on hips. Lightly see through but not too much. Lovely quality material," penned a third. Meanwhile, a fourth said: "Love it super comfortable, smart enough so can dress it up or down. Love the pockets. Had lots of compliments and queries as to where they could get it." "Perfect for summer and so versatile. Feels like good quality material for the price,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I bought a similar skirt from a high street retailer and it doesn't touch the quality of this one, plus this had pockets! I've bought all the colours in this shirred waist style as they're coords and I love easy to wear styles, being a busy mum of 3."

M&S shoppers reckon they've found the ‘perfect' pair of sandals after wearing them ‘for 12 hours at a Spanish wedding'
FINDING the perfect summer shoe can be tricky, especially if you want something that will be comfortable all day long in the heat. But Marks and Spencer shoppers claim to have found just that in the Wide Fit Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals. Available in three colours - platinum, tan and black - the sandals have a small heel to dress up any outfit, while still remaining comfortable for long days out. Better yet, the sandals are available in sizes 3 to 8, with half sizes available for all to ensure you can get the perfect fit. The timeless sandals are crafted from leather and designed in a wide fit style so you don't have to worry about your feet being uncomfortable. "These elegant sandals make the perfect choice when the temperature starts to rise," Marks & Spencer bosses said. "Crafted from premium leather in a wide fit to create an extra comfortable feel. "Stylish low block heel, with a secure buckle fastening on the ankle strap." It's no surprise the stylish sandals already have an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars online, with shoppers urging others to try them out. One said: "I got the black ones. They fit really well and I love the way it looks on. It's pretty comfortable and I like the adjustable buckle it has." A second also loved the shoes and said "I bought these last year in tan, had doubts at first about comfort but after wearing them for about 12 hours when at a wedding in hot Spain I changed my mind. "Nice height heel, I can't wear flat shoes now, so they felt a little more dressed up." M&S shoppers have found the 'perfect basic summer top' - it's only £8 And someone else noted: "Was hoping that they would come back into stock, I immediately bought a pair in platinum when they did and they feel just as comfortable. Thank you M&S." Meanwhile, someone else raved about the shoes and wrote: "The perfect nude coloured comfy sandal. "I have a small obsession with the perfect nude leather sandal and have about 10 pairs - these are my absolute favourite!" The stylish shoes aren't the only reason to dash to the retailer right now though, there are plenty of summer wardrobe staples too. The gorgeous Linen Rich Maxi A-Line Skirt can be dressed up or down, making it a staple for spring and summer - and the best part is it's only £35. Not only that, but the popular skirt comes in two trendy colours, black and tomato, so there's something for everyone. Available in petite, regular and long, the skirt is crafted from a lined-blend fabric, making it perfect for keeping cool in the warm weather. "It's cut in a flattering A-line shape, with a flowing maxi-length hem. Shirring on the waistband adds pretty detail and ensures a comfortable wear," Marks & Spencer bosses said. So, it's no surprise the skirt has an impressive average rating of 4.6 out of a possible five stars. How to look chic on a budget Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.

'Marks & Spencer's tapered linen trousers are my office go-to – they're comfy and pair with shirts'
Marks & Spencer's £28 tapered linen trousers are a spring/summer essential, and Mirror shopping writer Grace's go-to for office days thanks to their comfort and versatility In my eyes, linen trousers are a spring/summer essential. Thanks to their versatility, they can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners. And now spring is here and summer is on the horizon, it's definitely the time to add a new pair to the wardrobe. Marks & Spencer has one of the best selection of linen trousers in right now, but you'll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pair as they can sell out super fast. A few ofour favourite's at the moment include: the Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers in Blue, £27.50; the Linen Rich Wide Leg Cropped Trousers, £27.50; and the Per Una Linen Blend Striped Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers, £45. I tried out their Linen-Rich Drawstring Tapered Trousers and was so surprised with the softness. They felt amazing on the skin, and gave a smarter look than some of the wider-leg styles I've tried. I paired the trousers with trainers so they looked more casual; however, they could easily be teamed with a pair of mules or Mary Janes to look more office-appropriate. They also pair amazingly with shirt s, which is not always the case when it comes to linen trousers. The tapered leg is what makes this pair a little different than the classic wide leg linen trousers, as it provides a more professional, and less beachy look. The neutral styles are selling out fast, but the navy and khaki colourways are still in stock in most sizes. However, we predict this won't last for much longer. I tested a few other linen trousers out and considering the affordable £23 price tag, I was really surprised with the fit and quality of this Bershka pair. They probably fit me the best out of all the others in terms of leg length and around the waist. I love the neutral sand colour, and they're also available to purchase in three other colours: white, black, and a spring-ready pale pink. Additonally, the barrel leg silhouette is the trendiest trouser shape of the season, and I love how the shape of this ASOS pair immediately made this pair look slightly different from the linen trousers we often see. Alongside the barrel leg, these trousers feature a stylish buttermilk yellow striped pattern that adds a bit of interest, and there was no sign of any underwear showing through.
