Marks & Spencer moves into autumn/winter 2018 with a sense of confidence and simplicity, celebrating style and championing quality. Throughout the overall season, there is a subtle synergy, presenting collections that are cohesive and versatile, and tailored to ever changing needs.

The introduction of The Foundation Edit offers a curation of wardrobe essentials. A selection of sartorial building blocks for the modern wardrobe as the perfect complement to her life and style.

Autumn sees the arrival of Poetic as top-to-toe colour takes a new feminine direction. A palette of pinks set the tone, from soft blush and rose to rich burgundy and fuchsia. Luxurious textures enhance the mood, from super soft faux fur outerwear to chunky knitwear and plush corduroy, creating a richness of finish.

Sartorial sees classic shapes and chic tailoring reworked through a sports luxe lens, as emerald green and cobalt blue update the aesthetic. Classic check separates meet quilting, wool blends and leather for a strong fabric direction. This palette continues into lingerie as the soft, sporty silhouette is elevated.

Arriving in Winter, Soft Heritage explores sumptuous layers of animal print and caramel tones with a hint of lilac lifting the overall mood. This tactility also defines the lingerie and loungewear direction, as the natural curve is accentuated through fit, design and finish.

Onyx offers a contemporary take on the party spirit. Hero dresses and statement pieces are elegantly pared back for a modern interpretation of the season. A rich colour palette of teal and ochre are punctuated by dramatic accessories to depict luxury with an edge. Innovative lingerie underpinnings support this evening silhouette for an understated femininity.

The autumn/winter 2018 collections place flattering fit and versatility at the heart of stylish design.
