The clocks have changed, which means that spring is well and truly under way - and Marks & Spencer have introduced a stylish new range of clothing for the occasion.
The popular high street retailer has got customers covered with its selection of blouses, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits and more, which they promise will "elevate your wardrobe" with their bright colours, bold prints and flattering styles. Many of the garments have already been a huge hit with shoppers too, with some quickly selling out in several sizes on the M&S website.
The clothes have been praised as "perfect", "fabulous", "lovely", with shoppers saying they were "delighted" with them as they rushed to leave five-star reviews. Here are a few of the most in-demand pieces from the new spring range that have had the best ratings from M&S customers.
Midi shirt dress, £45
The Pure Cotton Midi Shirt Dress comes in black with an elasticated waist, three-quarter sleeves and a collared neck - it bears a resemblance to another M&S dress that went down a storm with shoppers earlier this month.
