Not only this, but many hailed the quality, comfort, value for money and style as 'excellent'.
One person was impressed by the "comfortable" shorts and said: 'Nice, cool cotton shorts for summer nightwear. Reasonable price.'
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.'
Another added: 'Great pair of pj shorts. Nice colour way.
"Lovely soft and airy material. I might wear both pairs as actual shorts.'
warmer nights.'
At the same time, someone else chimed in: 'Cool and comfortable - just what I wanted, and so pleased to be able to buy just the bottoms, which I wear with a cotton vest.
"Good simple colours, just what I wanted.'

I stuffed my bra before a Wizz Air flight — it saved me a fortune

I was in the airport toilets, standing in front of the mirror, trying to wedge a bikini top into the side of my brand-new pink DD bra. Next in went my unused gym kit, followed by my fishing vest (more on that later). With every item, my reflection became a little… curvier. As someone who's never had much going on in that department, it might appear like a cheap boob job. But this wasn't vanity – it was strategy. I was flying home from Lisbon with Wizz Air in January, and they only allow a tiny 40 x 30 x 20cm cabin bag for free. I'd managed the outbound flight just fine thanks to a fishing vest with over 15 pockets, but I really wanted to give a different hack a go for my return. I cautiously zipped up my jacket and took one last look in the mirror before heading for my gate, praying no one would notice I was basically wearing half my suitcase on my chest. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. The idea started earlier that morning, when I'd been rifling through the sales rack in Lisbon's H&M hoping to find something to test out. I'd hoped for a hoodie with deep pockets or a slim bag I could tuck under my coat, but instead my hands landed on a large bra with the price reduced to €5. I was about to push it away when an idea came to me: what if this bra was the answer to bonus luggage space? The concept of wearing extra clothes to avoid fees certainly isn't new. There's a reason why Joey Tribbiani's 'Could I BE wearing any more clothes' moment in Friends is still a popular meme. It perfectly sums up the theatrics we have to resort to just to get a few extra outfits on board without paying more. However, I'd never seen anyone use a bra for this purpose. And the logic was solid: airlines weigh and measure your bag, not your body. My coat pockets had been carrying overflow snacks and chargers for years, so why not give my chest a piece of the action too? On the day of my flight, I wasn't about to stroll through security looking like I'd got a Portuguese breast enlargement – this was about getting through the scales and bag sizers. Technically, clothes wouldn't trigger alarms, but the thought of a pat-down revealing wads of fabric was enough to make me blush. So I stuffed the bra in my bag, sailed through security, and headed straight for the toilets to transform. On went the bra – over my shirt for speed – and then the stuffing began. My bikini and gym kit slid neatly into one cup, my fishing vest into the other. With each addition, my silhouette changed and I couldn't help but let out a cackle, reminded of playing dress-up as a child and stuffing wads of toilet paper down my top. Zipping my jacket was a slight challenge, and the moment the zip reached the top, the temperature began to rise. Lisbon might have been in winter mode, but under my layers, I was experiencing my own private heatwave. When I emerged, James – my boyfriend and travel companion – looked me up and down, his eyebrows creeping higher with each passing second. He didn't say a word, but his expression said it all: what on earth have you done now? At the gate, I braced myself. I'm always slightly on edge when pushing the boundaries of airline rules. You hear horror stories of passengers being told to unpack their bags, shove them into baggage sizers, or pay last-minute fines that cost more than the flight itself. I imagined a gate agent pointing me out, demanding to know why I looked like I'd swallowed a small rucksack. In reality, no one batted an eyelid. Boarding went smoothly, but I couldn't wait to reach my seat to rid myself of my ridiculous get-up. I hastily unzipped my coat on the plane before realising my faux pas – I forgot that my bulging bra was on the outside of my shirt. Naturally, it took me an age to unclip the clasp at the back, much to the entertainment of my fellow passengers. Settled, I was finally able to reflect on the hack at hand. Did it work? Yes. I avoided paying for another bag and breezed through without question. But the downsides were obvious. You can't pack much without looking completely unnatural, it's sweltering, and you will inevitably embarrass yourself if you decide to take it off. More Trending Would I do it again? Nah. This was a one-and-done. For me, there are far better hacks out there: The neck pillow trick – fill it with underwear or lightweight clothes. It's surprisingly roomy and no one questions it (just stick to your least-worn garments for the return journey…). The fishing vest hack – it's basically a wearable cupboard, complete with deep pockets for chargers, snacks, and even a laptop. The duty-free bag dodge – pick up a bag from duty-free, slip a jumper or two inside, and stroll on board looking like you've just bought perfume. The large backpack gamble – my personal go-to. Risk it all by taking a bag that's actually too big. I find that as long as you wear it on your back and keep facing the front, they often don't care. All of these have worked several times for me without the heat, bulk, or awkward mid-flight unzipping. So, if you're in a real fix and have a spare big bra lying around, sure – give it a go. If you don't have big boobs already, it will likely work and you might save a bob or two in fees. But for the sake of your comfort (and perhaps even your dignity), a jacket with deep pockets will do the job just as well – so when you unzip mid-flight, you'll look completely normal and not like you got dressed in the dark.

Is It Time To Give The Divisive Jeans A Second Chance?

As part of my job, I spend hours scrolling through websites, tracking what's trending and what people are adding to their baskets. One morning, I stopped in my tracks - there they were again: M&S was selling a pair of jeggings with 11,870 reviews, a 4.4-star rating, and 75% of shoppers recommending them, already running low in stock. Jeggings defined a particular moment in fashion history. Picture this: Spring 2010, they were the skinny-fit staple you wore with a Chloé Paddington slung over your arm and an Alexander McQueen scarf looped around your neck. But while they promised the stretch of leggings with the look of jeans, many fell out of love with them because they weren't as comfortable as we hoped, never mind the the endless adjusting and inevitable elastane fatigue. But the day we never thought would come has arrived, and, now, they've been reimagined. Today's versions are softer, more sculpting, and cut from fabrics that lift and flatter, with elasticated high waistbands for ease. One M&S reviewer summed it up simply, saying they had 'waited for these to come back into stock' and that they love 'the fit'. According to Megan, a stylist at Silkfred, the jegging's enduring appeal comes from 'comfort and ease of movement while still giving you the streamlined look of denim.' She describes them as 'polarising' because they sit in the 'in-between space of jeans and leggings' and can instantly conjure memories of the early 2010s - the era of over-styled club looks, heavy eyeliner, and dodgy digital camera snaps. Still, she pointed out that for anyone who loves the feel of leggings and wants skinny silhouettes back in their wardrobe, jeggings are 'an incredibly practical option.' On whether we're seeing a genuine revival, Megan links the resurgence to fashion's wider knack for anything nostalgic, saying that with retailers like M&S reintroducing them, more brands are leaning into the late-2000sand early 2010s aesthetic. She doesn't expect them to dominate denim trends - 'we never saw a jegging on the runway' - but said the rise of comfort-first dressing and body-contouring styles is helping them find their audience again. While Megan believes jeggings will always carry a nostalgic edge, they can be rendered a classic style if worn in minimal ways. Her advice? 'They can look timeless when styled in a minimal, elevated way. Perhaps a dark indigo wash or black jeggings with a crisp, oversized shirt, a blazer, and pointed flats. The key is keeping the rest of the outfit simple and avoiding the over-styled early-2010s look we remember from their first heyday.' In short, jeggings may never reclaim their 2010 peak, but in fashion, no trend is ever truly gone for good. 1. M&S, Ultra High Ankle Leather Jeggings 2. M&S, High Waisted Jeggings Indigo Mix 3.
