The game-changing dresses that’ll make you look forward to winter
Summer’s out, new season dressing is in: and who better than Marks and Spencer to show you how it’s done?
With summer out, but with our heads still firmly in the sunshine game, finding our sartorial groove for the new season isn’t without its challenges. It’s the equivalent of wardrobe S.A.D; a time where our own personal reluctance to bid farewell to sun-touched skin (freckles and all), easy breezy dressing and an even breezier state of mind go head to head with a will-it-won’t-it climate that makes dressing for the day an exhausting battle of wills. Our solution? Take your favourite piece of happy go lucky summer style with you: the midi dress. But it’s not the usual thigh-skimming numbers that have caught our eye this time round - it’s the long sleeve dress: the definitive in-between days saviour and new Instagram favourite that’s worthy of every like and share. But with great arm lengths come great responsibilities – looking amazing whilst wearing them. And with so many new season dresses to choose from at Marks and Spencer, we’ve picked three of our favourites that tick the box for long sleeves and great style, without even a hint of summer FOMO. Winter, come on in.
Animal Magic
With leopard print dominating our social feeds and hearts, we anticipate this trend sweet-talking our bank accounts from now well into chillier months. This M&S Collection Animal Print Long Sleeve Tea Midi Dress is destined to become a linchpin piece thanks to dramatic long sleeves and a 70s inspired floaty fabric that is calling out to be layered up with tough texture leather and boots for the ultimate style refresh. Add to that a swishable midi length skirt and our low-key obsession with effortlessly feminine throw-on frocks is going absolutely nowhere.

Straight and Narrow
Stripes make sense whatever the weather, so you can count on this M&S Collection Striped Long Sleeve Shirt Midi Dress to have your back. The classic shirt format makes this a no brainer for the office - just add earrings and some red lipstick to elevate this look. The dress’s hero long sleeves and some knee high boots will keep you covered when temperatures plummet, whilst bare legs and a pair or colour pop sandals are ready to go as soon as the sun is.

Block party
Find your saturation point with a colour block dress that packs a serious punch. This Marks &Spencer funnel neck shift dress is simple yet effective in a soft strawberry pink that surely counts as one of your 5 a day. It’s a statement in itself before you’ve even had the chance to swap your trainers for heels and add a pair of jangly cocktail earrings come evening.
