I have long been a fan of Marks & Spencer, and I think this year's collection has been one of the strongest for some time. The early spring drop has been filled with trend-ticking clothing and could-be-designer accessories, and don't get me started on M&S's new limited edition collection - outstanding.
The latest must-have item to grab my attention is the Pure Cotton Cropped Utility Jacket, and unsurprisingly, it is already selling fast. What makes this design so special? Thanks to a buttoned funnel neck and zip front, it has a sporty-meets-military kind of vibe, so it manages to tick off two big spring/summer fashion trends for 2026 while still being very wearable.
