Went into M&S today - OMG

[Honeysuckle9]

Has anyone else been in recently? I was in today and it was just fabulous - so many nice pieces - and not just the sienna Millar campaign stuff

Ooh, tell us more! I'm a huge M&S fab. Theres always some shockers but they do get a lot right

Fan, not fab!

People will definitely accuse you of running and ad for M and S now. They always do!

I do find their autumn and winter clothes are so much better than summer.

Genuinely not running an ad but the items I bought included a satin shirt that was just lovely quality, a gorgeous Isabel Marant style boxy check coat, a nice cable knit jumper …
I could have bought lots more but really nice casual basics - the dresses are a bit off though

Saw the Sienna Miller ad today and the last thing I want to see on tv in 30 degree heat is wool coats and thick jumpers.

Have they started making decent knickers again? Their selection has been so shocking and of such bad quality for the last couple of years that I’m trying to keep my favourite ones going until they either bring back the decent cotton low rise shorts that I used to love or I can eventually find similar ones for the same prices elsewhere.

The knickers are still awful I’m afraid

I also love M and S again. I stopped shopping their years ago but have ventured back

knickers still awful though!!!!

Where do you get knickers???? M&S was my go to, not any longer.

I think their flexi fit knickers are fantastic.

I bought this shirt yesterday - haven’t got round to trying it on yet so can’t comment on fit

@MindPalace me too! The only pants I wear. So comfortable, feel amazing and not bad to look at for basics. Love the flexifit range.

Oh no it wasn’t that one it was this one

Hmm, I've been into M&S a couple of times recently and the quality has seemed really poor compared to what it used to be. Sizing is all over the place too.

Good thread.
It's a 20 mile round trip to my nearest one, so watching with interest.

Primark for knickers. Last ages and wash really well. An abundance of styles and shapes. They’re good for socks too.

People who say, blah blah quality and then buy in Primark instead

I love the M&S underwear...I've never bought any clothes.may have a nosy at the weekend!

I went food shopping there yesterday, the clothes look much better. Their underwear seems to have improved a lot and their socks

They are brilliant under trousers. So comfortable.

I really like M&S now and I keep thinking it’s got a lot better but then I realise I’m actually just getting old and it’s aimed more at my demographic!!

I was looking at this just last night. It's fab!

They have some lovely dark cigarette-style jeans, with a turn-up. (Now it'll depend how they fit as M&S jeans are notoriously variable on me. Sometimes lovely, sometimes horrendous).

Nah the stuff I'm buying now I would happily have bought for work in the past but it's definitely not what they were selling! A massive improvement.

I had a wee online M & S splurge last night and I agree, lots to choose from. I've always loved their coats and just treated myself to a long gilet.

It's the sizing that's annoying. As 5ft 4 I always need to take a punt on whether to get short or regular jeans or trousers and when their sizing is so erratic it can end up meaning sending back things all the time.
