I'm a fashion writer and these are 10 items from M&S that are perfect for spring
Although the rain and winter chill is still in the air, it's a comfort to know that spring is just around the corner and with it comes the prospect of a wardrobe upheaval swapping out your heavy, woollen coats for lighter, more breathable jackets, like trench coats and shackets, and 400 dernier tights for a cooler 60. And with daffodils and snowdrops beginning to bloom, our favourite high street stores are bringing out their spring collections - one of which is Marks & Spencer, whose new in section is sprouting with gorgeous staples like denim co-ords and dresses, striped cotton t-shirts, thin sweatshirts, midi dresses and quilted crossbody bags.
From outfits that are perfect for that first barbecue of the year (am I getting ahead of myself?) to those chillier evenings and spring-ready work attire, Marks & Spencer is renowned for bringing us stylish and amazing quality pieces that will last for years whilst remaining totally on trend.
With many of us have busy lives, online shopping is the way forward but facing pages and pages of new items can be a bit daunting. So, we have taken a look online for you to see what M&S has to offer this spring and want to share with you our favourite pieces from the collection.

Floral Round Neck Midi Tea Dress
Florals for spring is always a winner (Marks and Spencer)This print dress screams springtime thanks to its floral pattern and midi-length. The dress can be bought in a more polka dot pattern in blue and white and black and white, but this particular style is so elegant. Coming in sizes six to 24 in regular sizing, six to 20 in petite and eight to 22 in long, the tea dress is crafted from lightweight and breathable viscose fabric and is designed with a swishy hem that'll blow beautifully in the breeze (although hopefully not giving you a Marilyn Monroe replay).
The pattern lends itself easily to being dressed up with a snazzy pair of heels or dressed down with a denim jacket and trainers or boots.

Flared Jeggings
Who doesn't want both comfort and style? (Marks and Spencer)That's right. Jeggings are back. Because why wouldn't you want jeans that are as comfortable as a pair of leggings? These particular ones come with a flared ankle for a flattering cut that is bang on trend. Rich in cotton, the jeggings have added stretch in their fabric and waistband and work perfectly for day to day errands. Pair with a plain white t-shirt for a casual look or a shirt for drinks with the girls.
Range from short and petite sizes to a more longer cut and in black, blue and grey, the jeggings have been a hit with fashion lovers since launching with one saying: "When I saw flared in the jeggings description I had to order. I wear jeggjngs all the time as they are so comfortable but dont feel they are flattering. The flare gives them a totally new look on me and look more like im wearing jeans. Will order again."
