The Marks & Spencer Sustainable Cotton Range Is Basically Our Perfect Summer Wardrobe

Fashion Revolution week has now been and gone, but it's impact is still being felt. For those who are unfamiliar, Fashion Revolution is a movement pushing forward sustainable fashion in the industry, and urging retailers to disclose the information about who makes their clothes, how they are made and where they are made. With fast fashion being one of the most damaging markets to the environment right now, many retailers are being pressed to change the way they produce their products and become more conscious of their carbon footprint. Sustainability in fashion has never been in such demand, and we’re moving quickly forward not only as producers but as consumers also to push forward this colossal change that can dramatically change our planet.

Although there’s a long way to go, one of our favourite retailers is already proving that fast fashion can still be conscious - cue, Marks & Spencer. Marks & Spencer have heard our prayers with a new sustainable cotton range that is going to help us build the seamless spring and summer wardrobe that will take us through the years. Not only is the production of clothing becoming more environmentally wary, but our seasonal trends are shifting towards a more timeless way of thinking, too. With styles such as beige on beige, animal print and prairie dresses proving to be huge hits this year, it’s starting to look like we won’t be mindlessly throwing out the old to bring in the new anymore. But when it comes to boiling it down to the absolute essentials, those classic pieces we’ll always fall back on that follow our fashion-conscious mindset, then we've already found the key M&S styles to swear by. 

A cute top will be your holy grail for rushed-out-the-door days,  paired with your new, perfect pair of jeans. Looking to make an impact at every summer occasion? A sweet and airy cotton floral midi dress will turn into your new season staple.
