M&S's Latest Drop Ticks Off Every Major Spring Trend—These Are the Pieces Set to Sell Out First
I had a browse on my lunch break, and I reckon these are the five fashion trends that will sell out first. Scroll to discover them below.
With fewer grey clouds on the horizon and sunny days just around the corner (fingers crossed!), the great seasonal shift is finally upon us. But before we can leave cold-weather dressing behind, we must make it through an unpredictable spring (in other words, don't get rid of your layers quite yet). As I slowly and optimistically start to embrace warmer accents in my own wardrobe, I've noticed a few trend-led gaps arising. With so many high-street stores unveiling their new-season offerings, there was one place I knew to look first for classic staples and affordable runway-inspired buys: Marks and Spencer.
A must for those hunting for expensive-looking pieces at an accessible price, M&S is a go-to for every savvy and sophisticated dresser, but especially this spring. Its site and stores are filled with timeless silhouettes, on-trend colourways and enviable styling inspiration, and scrolling through the new-in section offers a cost-effective way to dive into this season's trends without breaking the bank.

With fashion currently leaning into a nostalgic mood, the new-in section shadows exactly the retro references we'd already spotted on the runways. From cool-girl jackets (and what's not to love about a denim bomber with a leather trim?) to romantic shades of petal pink, just one or two of these pieces will take your capsule wardrobe into the new season with ease.
So whether you fancy a new pair of trainers or some runway-inspired jeans, M&S's spring new-in section has you covered for the season ahead. Scroll down to discover the five trends well worth your attention. Happy shopping!
The 5 Chicest Fashion Trends at M&S This Spring
1. '90s Denim
Style Notes: Whether you’re loving bootcut, cigarette or cuffed-hem jeans this spring, you'll find them all here. Leaning into revived shapes and expensive-looking washes, each silhouette has a certain timelessness. This is denim that will pair well with transitional mohair knits or a simple embroidered blouse.
Shop Jeans:
With a built-in secret lifting effect.
I'm backing cuffed jeans for spring.
Almost every pair of M&S jeans runs to a size 24, so you're sure to find a great fit.
Many of my favourite fashion people are wearing skinnies tucked into boots once again.

The dark wash lends this pair an ultra-luxe finish.
If you're after an elevated yet affordable pair of wide-leg jeans, look no further.
2. Funnel-Neck Layers
Style Notes: The funnel-neck trend shows no signs of slowing as we head into spring, and M&S’s new-in section has so many options. A sophisticated design detail, a funnel-neck also keeps you cosy without the need for a second layer (so we can leave the scarves at home!). Offering everything from Y2K-coded zipped cardis to stylish suede bombers, each elevated piece is an easy way to shift your capsule wardrobe towards a spring mood.

3. Slimline Shoes
Style Notes: We're a little tired of chunky "dad" trainers, so we love to see that M&S’s trainer trends are leaning into 2026’s slimline retro mood. Offering relaxed silhouettes and functional grippy soles, these trainers are simple yet so effective. Whether finished in pink suede or a vibrant pop of red, they’re ready to add visual interest to trusty denim or a slinky midi skirt without needing much heavy lifting through styling.
Shop Slim Trainers:
These look far more expensive than £50.
M&S has jumped onto the sneakerina trend this spring.

4. Cropped Jackets
Style Notes: A sweeping trench will never date, but cropped jackets are all over M&S’s spring collection. Shielding you against the early-season chill whilst allowing you to show off the rest of your 'fit, if it's a style the A-list have already started to pick up, it's worth taking note of. With cropped cape coats, barn-style bombers and leather-trimmed denim jackets, take your pick.

5. Pretty in Pink
Style Notes: From butter yellow to pale blue, we’ve seen a variety of pastel shades starting to peek through in 2026, but this spring, M&S is betting on powder pink. From striped shirts to satin trousers, check-print midaxis to cashmere roll-neck jumpers, this romantic hue is everywhere. With an innate softness, we're already loving this pretty petal tint.
Shop Pink:
The perfect transitional cashmere for spring.
Keep it simple with light-wash denim and a white tee.
You can never have too many striped shirts, in my opinion.
