Dressing through the decades with Marks and Spencer
High street favourite Marks and Spencer is 125 years old this year.
To celebrate, they have put together a collection of womenswear inspired by key looks from different decades of the 20th century. Marks and Spencer have delved into their fashion archives to create the 125 Years collection, reviving classic items by adding a 21st century twist.
The range is packed with stylish pieces which will see you through the party season and beyond. Putting a new spin on the little black dress is a 20s inspired flapper dress with beaded strips. Available in sizes 8 to 22, it’s a great buy at 69.95. Another must-have item is a satin scoop neck dress in a delicious grape shade. Echoing back to 1950s glamour, it’s beautifully tailored to flatter curves and something to be worn wear again and again. It’s available to buy online for just 69, and comes in sizes 10 to 20.
A fabulous 60s inspired faux fur jackets will keep you warm without sacrificing style; available in the Marks and Spencer Per Una range, it costs just 79.50 and comes in sizes S, M, L and XL. To complete the retro look, the 125 Years collection also includes a great selection of jewellery and accessories. Best buys include polka dot scarves and handbags, classic clutch bags and a fantastic peacock feather brooch.
Classic style never goes out of fashion, so these are outfits you´ll be wearing for years to come. The 125 Years collection is available to buy online from www.marksandspencer.com; Marks and Spencer really have come a long way since their humble beginnings as a penny bazaar back in 1884. The recently re-launched Marks and Spencer website is a fashion-lovers dream, and about as close to an in-store experience as you’re ever likely to get online.
Great features on the new website include multiple product images showing different views, fabric swatches that give a close-up of patterns and prints, and even video previews of some outfits. Stock levels are shown for each size, and if something isn’t in stock you can ask Marks and Spencer to email you when it comes back in.
The 125 Years collection won’t be around for much longer, so hurry along and grab one of these must-have items while you still can.
