And their denim collection is just as raved about, but there is one pair in particular that has fashionistas in a frenzy.
The M&S High Waisted Carrot Leg Ankle Grazer Jeans have been hailed as 'universally flattering.'
The carrot leg style is wider on the thighs and slims down towards the calf, creating a curvy silhouette.
The ankle-grazer jeans now come in four colours, indigo, bleach-wash, white and black.
This stylish wardrobe staple also comes with a forward seam to give it a contemporary look.
The £39.50 jeans come in various sizes from a 6 - 24 in lengths short, regular and long.
And M&S has just restocked them again, but you'll have to be quick to bag them.
Since their release last February, the jeans have repeatedly sold out almost as soon as they were restocked, with shoppers claiming that they are perfect for all body shapes.
Even our own fashion team has raved about the must-have jeans.
Deputy Fashion Editor, Abbie McHale tried them on and loved the fit.
I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again
She said: "At 5ft4 I just fall on the regular length as for my height I have fairly long legs.
"These jeans are ankle-grazing and for me they were the perfect length, they looked great on with sandals or trainers for the summer.
"I'm a size 14 and around the waist they fit perfectly and whilst denim does stretch eventually they weren't too tight that they were cutting my circulation off.
"The style of jean itself I personally really liked, slightly wide around my thigh but not overly wide leg, a bit like a 'Mom' jean."
And it's not just our fashion team who love the jeans, shoppers have given them a rating of 4.6 out of five online.
One person wrote: "Excellent quality jeans, sit high on waste but plenty of room in the thighs and tapered at the bottom. Very flattering."
Another commented: "Love the shape of these jeans. They are very flattering and comfortable and also don't accentuate the dreaded lower belly pouch like some high waisted jeans do."
"Great fit, perfect length and good quality. Look great dressed up or just for casual," penned a third.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.'
Meanwhile a fourth said: "They are a lovely soft heavy denim and with the high waist even manage to make me look like I've got a flat stomach. They fit perfectly and I love them."
"These jeans fit my shape perfectly, I love the fit of them and will be buying them in every colour possible,' claimed a fifth

As 2 high street giants are rapped for using ‘unhealthily thin' models… are fat jabs to blame for return of heroin chic?
Only four of the top 20 brands featured during fashion week for Spring/Summer this year used curvy models WEIGHTY ISSUE As 2 high street giants are rapped for using 'unhealthily thin' models… are fat jabs to blame for return of heroin chic? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN unwelcome fashion trend has reared its ugly head again this season – heroin chic. With weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic becoming more popular, two major high street retailers have recently had images of models banned for being 'unhealthily thin'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The Advertising Standards Authority ruled Zara's images are 'socially irresponsible' Credit: PA 8 Zara was rapped for using this model in a white silk top and trousers who appeared to be 'gaunt' and showing 'protruding' collarbones Credit: ZARA 8 The model in the axed M&S advert is 'unhealthily thin', according to complaints Credit: M&S This week Zara was rapped by the Advertising Standards Authority for using a model in a white silk top and trousers who appeared to be 'gaunt' and showing 'protruding' collarbones. It came after Marks & Spencer was branded 'irresponsible' by the regulator for photographing a model in a white top and black jeans, emphasising the 'slenderness of her legs'. In fairness to M&S, and in my professional opinion, the model was shot at a bizarre angle from above, giving her alien-like skinny pins and a big head. But where are the bigwigs at Marks & Spencer who should be saying, 'Erm, she looks a bit thin — let's ditch that pic'? Retailers, their owners and employers have a responsibility to make sure their models are not being misrepresented and seen to be promoting aspirational fashion in a bad way. Sadly, models' figures that were once out of reach for us normal folk are now more attainable than ever, thanks to Ozempic and other fat jab treatments. For me, it is sickening to recall the Nineties and Noughties era of skeletal celebrities, such as that god-awful image of Nicole Richie running down the beach looking emaciated, or even a young Kate Moss with her hip bones barely holding up her Calvin Klein underwear. But the tide turned around 2012 when the stick-thin look was no longer considered ideal — and one woman who doesn't get enough praise for that is Kim Kardashian. With her thighs, boobs and bum, Kim alongside her sisters brought a new body image to the forefront of popular culture which embraced curves. Her extreme dieting to fit into Marilyn Monroe's clothes may have landed her in hot water for setting a bad example, but she did a lot for making a curvy body sexy and aspirational. We are facing a worrying return to using extremely thin models Vogue magazine Lizzo shows off her amazing Ozempic weight loss as she poses in swimsuit after finally revealing truth Fast forward to today and its bye-bye booty, with Kim, Khloe and Kylie Jenner wasting away before our very eyes with their ultra-toned arms and tiny waists. The body positivity movement peaked around 2015 when curvy models Felicity Hayward, Ashley Graham and Paloma Elsesser graced catwalks and ad campaigns to represent the majority of women (for context, the UK's average dress size is 16).

But at least she isn't a loud and proud spokesperson for body positivity — curvy influencers are. Women who have built an entire following, reputation and career around not being stick thin and celebrating loving every part of themselves — whilst insisting that you should do so too — are now turning their backs on all the female fans who have built them up. The same famous women who claimed that their curvy body was normal and have maintained a healthy lifestyle their whole career are now putting their slim new look down to — you guessed it — a balanced diet and an extra-long dog walk. And those of us who are committed to following these women then look at themselves and think, am I not good enough anymore? It sort of feels like a betrayal or abandonment. Jameela Jamil agrees. She revealed on Instagram that she had unfollowed many body positive ambassadors who 'are now going full diet culture'. The podcaster added: 'Don't perpetuate the culture that you rose to prominence trying to take down. It is a widespread shift we are all seeing everywhere and it's depressing.' The hashtag #thinspo, which promotes extreme thinness and disordered eating, has been banned on TikTok and Instagram. But it still exists elsewhere on social media, and the similar tag #SkinnyTok surpassed 2.4billion views in June. The terrifying amount of views reflects how women are scouring the internet looking for ways to get thin. From celebs to influencers to fashion, the whole situation is a low-fat recipe for disaster — but sadly women and young girls are falling for it. As someone who grew up and lived through the trend the first time around, I know it should not be repeated. We've already said goodbye to low-slung jeans, pedal pushers, Uggs and other unlamented fashions of that era. Like them, heroin chic should also remain firmly in the past. 8 Even singer Lizzo, who was known for embracing her curves, has been discussing her weight loss with Women's Health magazine Credit: Getty

I tasted high street tonic waters – I couldn't believe how swanky one supermarket brand looked & tasted for just £1.80
WHAT type of tonic do you reach for when it's time for a refreshing G&T? British brand Fever-Tree came top in a recent poll, but does it really taste any better over ice than supermarkets ' own versions? 9 Laura Stott puts them to the test. Fever-Tree Premium Tonic Water 8 x 150ml, £5.45 9 Made with premium ingredients and with a price tag to match, this has a strong note of bitterness. A luxury option which will set you back at the till but it does taste fresh and delicious. Not too sweet, very well balanced and no nasty aftertaste. Rating: 3/5 Indian Tonic Water 1L, 68p, Asda Five tips to feed your family for less and save on your supermarket shop The taste is seriously impressive even before you throw in the cheap-as-chips price. Extremely crisp, very dry and with sharp, buoyant bubbles and the perfect amount of bitterness, it was eminently gluggable. Would be lovely poured into a Pimms, too. Rating: 4/5 Tesco Finest Indian Tonic Water, 500ml, £1.80 The fancy glass bottle looks luxurious. You wouldn't know it costs less than £2! This is an aromatic sip with a nice sizzle of bubbles when you slurp. Lovely flavour, zingy, dry and delicious and it tasted great paired with vodka over ice. I'd buy this one again. Rating: 5/5 Deluxe Indian Tonic Water 8 x 150ml, £1.99, Lidl This supermarket mixer has all the look of the Fever-Tree brand. Very fizzy, so it will add plenty of sparkle to your summertime tipple. There's a slight hint of aromatics when you sniff it. A great price and I'd use it as a mixer with sweeter spirits. Rating: 3/5 Indian Tonic Water 1L, 85p, Morrisons If you prefer sweeter mixers, this will be ideal. I found it a bit lacking in flavour, and not very fizzy. It will do fine for diluting a spirit if you add ice and plenty of slices but this wouldn't be my go-to glug. Tasted more like a slightly weak lemonade and left a peculiar aftertaste. Rating: 2/5 Indian Tonic Water, £2.20, M&S / Another one in a fancy bottle, this M&S mixer costs more too. Made with natural spring water and quinine, it is in the 'Fever-Tree' style with a citrus tang. Luxury tonic taste and fresh aroma. But you can find the same flavours for less money elsewhere. Rating: 3/5 Ridge Valley Tonic Water 8 x 150ml, £1.99, Aldi These tonic waters in individual cans are a classic Aldi 'dupe' drink. While the look is almost identical to Fever-Tree, Aldi's offerings are a lot cheaper so you get more for your money. Nice flavour, with the right level of bitterness and hint of citrus. Rating: 3/5 Indian Tonic Water 1L, 95p, Co-op The taste of this was not half bad. It had a nice level of sparkle and the flavour was instantly recognisable as a proper tonic, without being too sour. More on the sharp side, so it's ideal with sweeter spirits or solo on the rocks with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
