I agree. The style is something the queen would wear, but the colour 
I used to always defend M & S, but the last few times I have had a look round their store has made me rethink.
Who are their target market? I used to buy Per Una, but at 55 feel that the clothes are too old for me. Some of the Indigo stuff is OK and some of their jeans are OK, but they have an eternal problem with shrinkage.
M & S are still my go to store for undies though.
