I don’t (yet) have a Summer Holiday booked, but if I did then I would totally be heading to Marks and Spencer for my capsule holiday wardrobe. Easy separates in flattering styles and bold colours are the order of the day and I’ve popped just a few of my favourites below- you know, just torture myself about my lack of plans that little bit more (and maybe provide some inspiration for you lovely people).

Hover over any of the images to get more details and the prices, and head to the M&S website to get buying (or in store, of course!). I’m utterly obsessed with the Limited Edition Tailored Pleated Shorts which are also smart enough, in my eyes to fit in to a Summer working wardrobe too. Also high on my wish list are the Studded T-Bar Sandals in their beautiful canary yellow. I’m not lucky enough to be able to pull off yellow when it comes to clothing, but with shoes anything goes!

Which pieces have caught your eye and what do you count as a suitcase essential? For me it’s easy separates that work for day and night, from beach to bar.
