I'm 25, a recent graduate and I'd like to think of myself as fashion-forward, or at least stylish on a good day. With this in mind, I never thought Marks & Spencer's would be for me. Back home in Ireland, the closest store to me is a 40-minute drive away and, along the route, there ARE a handful of shops, I would tend to usually stop at - New Look, DV8, and Pull & Bear - before thinking of going to the high-street retailer.
However, I don't live in Ireland anymore and I walk past M&S twice daily - to and from work. Sometimes four times, if I forget my laptop charger and have to trek back home to the Baltic Triangle . I found the perfect fitness watch and it was worth every penny Amazon's 'best mop ever' slashed in price as customers ask 'why didn't I buy sooner' This week, I decided to change things up and I went into the Liverpool ONE store to see what I could my hands on.
I wasn't after anything in particular, just in a window-shopping mood. However, it appeared I had picked the right time to venture into the menswear section as the retailer has just recently launched its autumn and winter collection for the year. Straight off the bat, I was underwhelmed.
The colour palette consisted of neutral and grey tones, and while they offer a sense of adaptability, it just wasn't for me. For the time being, I'm trying to hang onto a pop of colour for as long as I can. In the store, there was a mixed bag of clothing.
From patterned silk shirts and fine knit roll necks to knitted tees .
