Per Una what do we think ?

[honeylou42]

I think they have really upped their game, I am loving some of the new Autumn/winter collection 😀

Agreed! Some lovely fabrics and designs. I could have bought 3 coats in there yesterday!

I know they get a bad rep but I e been wearing PU jeans for years - they fit me so well.

I've been loving the new Per Una since spring when I discovered it had all changed.

I was browsing some nice clothes in M&S and realised with a shock(!) it was Per Una - but unrecognisable as the Per Una I would have expected.

However, I'm not quite loving the new autumn season as much as last season, which seemed to have cleaner lines and a more minimalist look - I'm a bit wary of all the florals they seem to have brought back.

The jumpers look great - very Other Stories, I think. I have my eye on the 3-way colour block jumper. And various other things which I really shouldn't be spending money on at this time of year.

I got some navy cords which I’m very pleased with. Luckily I didn’t realise they were Per Una until after I’d bought them. I don’t really understand why the range still exists. M&S is still quite confusing.

New Per Una seems to be a lot like old Limited Collection, which they have done away with, so given what a no-no PU had become, I don't know why they didn't ditch it and continue with LC instead.

However, I bought a gorgeous Per Una floral skirt last week and now it's all over their windows and ad campaign, and my Instagram feed, so I'm a bit annoyed (though tbh buying something pattered from M&S is never exactly going to be under the radar).

I actually like M&S's sub-brands, at least they range them properly in store so you can find stuff that goes together rather than the usual jumpers in one place, skirts in another etc.

Actually, the more I look at the new Per Una, the more it all looks like a homage to Other Stories.

And that's not a bad thing, imo!

Definitely changed for the better. I was browsing a couple of charity shops today and came across a lot of the old Per Una stuff, all oversized mismatched buttons, multicoloured stripes, ribbon trim and superfluous frills.

Really liked a navy cord skirt in there yesterday. Still thinking about it.

Looks really good imo.

I have been liking a few things too.
