Marks and Spencer

Key looks
A town and country theme offers cashmeres, check fabrics and chunky cable knits. Peasant skirts, long leather coats, paisley prints and furry gilets enhance the trend, and add an ethnic/folk touch.  Brooding elegance comes via a vintage future gothic look, with lots of black, lace, rich velvets and wet-look shine leathers. Structured puff jackets and cropped capes add a directional edge. Strong shots of colour are injected in the cocktail wear, with vivid orange, red, pink and yellow used on dresses with origami inspired structuring and some sequined embellishment. Hollywood glamour can be found in long oyster and gold coloured evening frocks and black one shoulder numbers.

Right for the market?
Trend devotees will get their fix from the folk and future gothic looks, which they can adopt head to toe. Those less inclined to follow fashions will be able to find enough pieces within each range to integrate them into their wardrobes, such as the town and country look chunky knit jumpers, the bell bottom jeans or the long peasant skirts. People looking for an event outfit will be well catered for with the broad cocktail dress offering.
