The UEFA European Women's Championships are set to kick off on July 2, and we are cancelling all plans to support the Lionesses.
We're not just cheerleading from the sidelines, painting our faces with the St. George's flag, and taking up a new hobby (football, of course), but we're shopping the M&S x FA Collection.
Yes, you guessed it, M&S is set to drop another capsule as part of its tailoring partnership with the English Football Association (FA). The upcoming drop couldn't come at a better time now M&S' online orders are back in full swing following the cyber attack.
Marks and Spencer has been the official suit supplier for the England Men's Team for many decades (since 2007 to be exact). But in 2023 it became the official tailor for the Senior Women's Team too, and the collaboration has continued.
The partnership will see the women's team sport the tailored pieces for its official team photoshoot, as well as throughout the tournament. But, it's also available for shoppers to get their hands on too so we can feel part of the squad.
Speaking about the collection, the Director of M&S Womenswear, Maddy Evans, shared: 'We're thrilled to have collaborated with the English FA over the last 18 years and we're proud to have delivered this latest collection ahead of the Lionesses next tournament in Switzerland. It comprises an effortless, modern tailoring edit for spring/summer 2025, that feels authentic to the team and that the players will feel proud to wear. Championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it's a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation and who we'll be supporting every step of the way.'
The M&S x FA Womenswear Collection is set to drop in select stores and online today, June 26, which is a week before the Championships commence.
The full 13-piece is a limited-edition collection that is complete with smart tailored pieces, as well as co-ords, which can be paired together or styled as separates. The collection follows a tonal colour palette of black, khaki and ecru, which is versatile and timeless, so you can team with almost anything, and wear for years to come. More Trending
Some of the pieces include an asymmetric waistcoat, a short sleeve blazer, pleated Bermuda shorts, as well as wide leg and the popular barrel leg trousers.
The collection will also include basics, such as a white and black tank top that is a versatile staple to wear on its own with jeans, shorts, or a midi skirt, though it can also be layered under a blazer or linen shirt too.
The M&S x FA Collection ranges in price from £15 for a tank top up to £59 for the shot sleeve blazer, which we think is reasonable.
Whether you purchase one staple to style numerous ways with items in your closet already, or you shop the matching sets and a basic that you can mix and match is entirely up to you. What we do know is this chic edit will not stay on the shelves for long if previous collections are anything to go by.

'I bought £30 M&S cake for a fraction of the price at incredible shop'
If you want an M&S sweet treat but don't want to fork out full price, you might want to consider visiting this outlet store where you can purchase slightly damaged goods for less A shopper who visited the Marks & Spencer factory outlet was blown away by the deals she managed to get there – and one cake in particular astounded her. M&S is known for having some of the best baked goods around, from Colin the Caterpillar to tubs of flapjacks and chocolatey treats. Their cakes, in particular, are immensely popular and come in an array of flavours and colours. However, many of their larger offerings don't come cheap. Travel content creator Nicole is on hand to help, having found a place where you can buy your favourite M&S goodies for much less than in store. 'Oh my God, right, I have found the factory where they make all the M&S fresh food and they have a factory shop,' she said in a now-viral TikTok video. The foodie couldn't contain her excitement as she showed viewers the M&S bargains she snagged from the shop. First she picked up a big bag full of mini chocolate caterpillars for £2.50. She also got a pack of flapjack bites for £2.50 and she remarked that the pack was 'so heavy.' Nicole then bought a large bag of strawberry and cream mini bites, again for £2.50. She explained that the treats are so affordable because they 'have all been slightly damaged,' so they get sold in the factory shop instead of M&S stores across the country. She then said she found a whole lemon and sponge roll she picked up for just 50p and a sticky toffee pudding for £1.50. Nicole ended by revealing the biggest bargain of them all: an M&S Naked Vanilla cake for £7. In store, these cakes can set shoppers back around £30. The price of the cake was so good, she ended up buying two of them. The factory shop is called Park Cakes Company Shop and it is located in Oldham, near Manchester. Inside the hidden store, she spotted a Doug the Dog cake for £2.50 that she thought was 'an absolute bargain' and full layer cakes for £10. The thrifty shopper explained that there are different items on offer each day. She shared: 'We went in for my daughter's party and managed to get everything for like under £10.' Nicole even found a large chocolate caterpillar treat for £1. The Park Cakes Company Shop is open to the public every day from Monday to Saturday but 17-year-olds are not allowed to go in. The content creator's TikTok clip has amassed 1.2 million views, 66,900 likes and more than 600 comments, at the time of writing. One user said: 'Literally down the road from me! Love a cheeky Park Cakes trip.' Another commented: 'What?! I've just stumbled across this and Googled it, it's 29 minutes away from me! Omg I'm going thank you lol.' A third pleaded: 'No don't put Park Cakes on the map.' A fourth echoed: 'Please stop putting people onto Park Cakes! It's my fave place.'

I tried the new M&S strawberry sandwich fans ‘can't stop thinking about'
M&S has launched a limited-edition dessert sandwich that has sent shoppers into a frenzy — and it's being declared a 'game-changer'. According to the retailer, the Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich features 'the UK's sweetest strawberries' with whipped cream cheese on fluffy sweetened bread. Inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos' — fruit-filled sandwiches dished out in Tokyo cafes and London patisseries — it's designed to be this year's go-to summer sweet and costs £2.80. Filled with M&S's 'plump' and 'juicy' strawberries, it may look and taste like a dessert, but shoppers will find it in the regular savoury sandwich section. And, despite it being a slightly baffling creation, fans are already obsessed. 'Is it socially acceptable to go to my local store and buy all of them,' Kristine Kolodziejski said under an M&S Facebook post of the treat. 'I can't stop thinking about this sweet sandwich since I saw it advertised. I shall be trying one this weekend,' Rhonda Arnold added. One TikTok user, @emiiyjade, described the sandwich as 'perfect', saying it's 'the best thing they've ever released.' But does it live up to the hype? Metro's specialist food writer Courtney Pochin gave it a go to see what all the fuss is about. 'I'm not usually a fan of a pre-packaged sandwich as they're usually sad and soggy, but this one might just be an exception to the rule,' she says. 'It's a super fun twist on the classic summer pairing and makes for a quirky lunch or dessert. 'The bread is soft and just the right amount of sweet, there's a generous amount of creamy filling and the strawberries not only add a wonderful pop of colour, they hold their own. I was very impressed they hadn't turned mushy while sitting in so much cream cheese. 'I did find the berries to be quite sharp, but this does offset some of the sweetness, so not a total negative.' Courtney adds that her 'only other criticism' is that she 'kept wishing it could be a cake sandwich instead'. Perhaps something for M&S to look into down the line… 'Overall, I think this is a great novelty purchase, but it's not anything groundbreaking (after all, it is just bread, cream cheese and strawberries),' adds Courntey. 'Anyone who claims it's the best thing they've ever eaten is probably just overhyping it for social media likes.' More Trending So, there you have it. If you want to find out for yourself, the treat is only on shelves for a limited time, and no doubt they'll be flying into baskets. For a 'full fruity experience' M&S recommends pairing it with its new Collection Red Diamond Strawberry Lemonade. You can buy a one litre bottle for £3.50. The supermarket describes it as a 'refreshing new twist on a classic summer favourite'. Do you have a story to share?

McVitie's give classic chocolate bar 'exciting' new rebrand for summer
It is no secret how much Brits love a biscuit. Whether a digestive dunked in your cup of tea, a penguin washed down with a glass of milk, or a hobnob eaten with your granny over a blether, we all have our favourites. A whopping 71 per cent of Brits eat biscuits two or three times a week or more, according to so it may come as pretty ground-breaking news to the sweet-toothed that an iconic British biscuit has had a revamp. Do you know McVitie's? Of course, we all do. Operating for more than 185 years, the McVitie's Digestive is arguably the UK's favourite biscuit - famed for its sweet, wheaty taste, and crumbly texture. Now, McVitie's is reimagining one of its most iconic brands with the launch of McVitie's Club Layers Orange - a chocolate-coated wafer bar with all the chunky satisfaction of the classic Club biscuit, in an exciting new format. For generations, the Club has been a lunchbox staple and a firm family favourite, loved for its bold flavours and unmistakably indulgent bite. Now, arriving down confectionery aisles across the UK for the first time, McVitie's is giving fans a fresh way to enjoy their favourite. The Club Layers Orange is a generously coated thick milk chocolate bar with a punchy orange flavoured cream filling and multiple layers of delicious crisp wafer. Crafted for on-the-go snacking, this zesty new bar is perfect for lunch breaks, afternoon pick-me-ups or whenever a little indulgence is in order. "McVitie's Club Layers Orange marks an exciting step for Club as it enters the confectionery aisle for the first time," Catherine Morgenroth, Marketing Manager for McVitie's Club, enthused. "With Club having long been a favourite snack in many households, our new wafer bar offers a fresh way to enjoy the beloved classic and is perfect for those busy moments when you need a quick, tasty pick-me-up." Club Layers Orange will be exclusively available at Spar from June 30. They will then be rolled out market-wide in multiple supermarkets and convenience stores from July 21. Sainsbury's will stock the goodies from August 11, while Asda Express will have adorn them on their shelves from September 1. The RRP of the Club Layers Orange is 79p. Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer has unveiled the limited-edition Strawberry & Creme Sandwich, billed as a "game-changing, oh-so-scrummy treat" made with the retailer's "iconic" British Red Diamond Strawberries. With a thick layer of whipped cream cheese spread between two pieces of fluffy sweetened bread, the creation, available at local M&S Foodhalls now, has been inspired by the Japanese sweet sandos, or fruit sandwiches. However, the Strawberry & Creme Sandwich has left Brits divided. While some are lapping up the fruity drop, others have labelled it "nonsense" and a complete over-indulgence. Shoppers can find the creation alongside the supermarket's regular sandwiches.
