This is the time of year when we all want a fresh new look. As soon as the sun begins to shine many of us are more inclined to try new styles and be more playful with our outfit choices. M&S is well and truly embracing the new spring season with a plethora of bold patterns, animal print and floral designs.

Psychologists say wearing bold patterns can even boost your mood, so now is the time to add some newness to your wardrobe. Let your personality shine through your outfits with these best-buys landing in M&S this week.

Printed V-Neck Lace Insert Midaxi Tea Dress £45 - Beautiful, pretty dresses are the ideal easy-to-wear style for spring. The lace insert detail on the shoulders and cuffs add a romantic finish. Plus the sky-blue shade is on trend for 2025. 

Leopard Print Wide Leg Jeans £45 - It’s a trend that always comes back. Animal print jeans are an easy way to wear the style without feeling like you will end up looking like Bette Lynch!

Printed Collared Shirt £25 - The sage-green shirt will add a pop of colour to your wardrobe. It can be worn tucked in or loose and paired with jeans or skirt - the styling options are endless. The shirt is also available in a black floral-print design too. 

Spot Polka dot Print Ruffle Mini Skater Dress £45 - Polka dots are perfect for spring with Catherine, Princess of Wales being a big fan of the design too. This black dress is a safe option if you want to try wearing bold patterns for the first time. 

Cow Print Midaxi Slip Skirt £35 - There’s a new animal print taking over right now. Say hello to cow print. This midaxi-skirt gives a subtle nod to the new fashion trends and can be paired with neutral basics for a chic style. 

Don’t worry if you're not yet brave enough to wear bold prints and patterns. The easiest way to dip-your-toe into trying new trends is with accessories and handbags. I found these Tortoiseshell Square Sunglasses £15, Animal Print Linen Blend Fringed Scarf £19.50 and Faux Red Leather Woven Shoulder Strap £45.  A great way to add a playful, new style to your wardrobe.
