What's good in M&S right now?

Live quite rurally so don't often get the chance to shop physically - always online. Tomorrow I'm going to a fairly large M&S. Would love to see what, if anything, people rate there. Open to any suggestions.

While millions go to food banks you humble brag about a trip.to an overpriced supermarket. Go and enjoy it without the Mumsnet parade.

People going to food banks doesn’t mean other people can’t enjoy shopping at a reasonably priced high street shop. It’s hardly Hermes or Chanel. And I say that as someone who volunteers at the food banks.

I've got one from Sainsbury's, £25. 'Stone cropped linen shaket' - different colours including that green!

If that had the pull-in at the waist, it would be very close indeed, but still no good colours for me. If they had, would definitely have tried it to see whether I could add the drawstring myself. Great find though, looks a bargain.

Much pricier (of course!), but this looks lovely.

The absolute best blouson/utility type jackets on the high street though - & a great range - are at Massimo Dutti. Lots of linen, cotton, suede too - & not all in "sludge"!

@DabralorI have the same issue with M&S trousers, discovered it’s not a waist size problem but because they opt for an unusually short front rise which leads to a bad fit on some body shapes.

I’m glad you said this! I’ve noticed the same recently

The thing about the sizing is M&S isn’t even consistent in the same colour in the same style - two different size 10 jeans in the same style and colourway can be of entirely different fits!

And of course the mumsnet parade is because there are lots of clothes lovers who like hearing about what others have seen or bought ( even if they haven’t bought or can’t buy anything themselves).

The British fashion industry is worth millions to our economy and employs vast numbers. That generates the taxes and government revenue necessary for benefits.
