I’m a size 14/16 & I’ve found the BEST faux leather trousers from M&S – they’re elasticated, flattering and have pockets
A FASHION fan has stocked up on a range of brilliant buys from M&S, including the best ever faux leather trousers.
So if you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade and look fabulous for autumn, then you’ve come to the right place.
Rebecca Sudwarts, a fashionista who is five foot eight and in between a size 14 and 16, was lucky enough to get her hands on a range of must-have Autumn/Winter buys from M&S, including a dress that will look great for the festive season.
Not only this, but she also nabbed jeans that are sure to keep you cosy in the cold weather too.
So if you fancy treating yourself to some new clothes, then you’ll need to run down to M&S, and fast.
The curvy fashion fan, who is from the UK, took to social media to share her honest thoughts on her new M&S haul, leaving many very impressed.
Posting online, the ex Senior Fashion Buyer shared her clip with the caption ‘I’ve found the BEST A/W faux leather trousers and it’s in this reel! Really loving all these looks from M&S.’
She then said: “I’m back with a great haul from M&S. This is filled with some great Christmas pieces, as well as everyday outfits.”
Rebecca kicked off her haul with a pair of thermal skinny jeans, as she explained: “They are brushed on the inside, so supposed to give you some light warmth in the winter.
“Skinnies are still in, I love this look. It’s such a great, bloated friendly outfit – a nice, chunky oversized knit paired with some skinny jeans and some knee-high boots. You just can’t go wrong.”
The content creator then modelled a black coat, which left her with mixed emotions, as she added: “I was quite inspired to try this coat, I think it’s designer-inspired.
“It’s really nice, very lightweight quality. It’s almost like a coatigan, it won’t keep you too warm in the winter.”
Following on from this, we saw Rebecca model a pair of £45 wide leg black jeans, with a £27.50 top, as she continued: “They are so soft, very wide, so cool, so comfy.
“This little cami sequin top, how cute is this?”
The influencer then tried on a £29.50 burgundy dress, which will look great this December.
Thrilled with the frock, she claimed: “This is a really easy dress to have in your wardrobe, it’s stretchy, it’s super comfy, it’s the colour of the season and it’s also got a little bell sleeve which is really nice.
“You could dress this up, dress it down.”
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda’s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury’s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it’s good quality too – with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
We then saw Rebecca’s gorgeous faux leather trousers, which are £39.50, as she revealed: “You are gonna love these faux leather trousers – they’re chocolate brown.
“I love them because they’re elasticated. Super flattering but also comfy, with pockets.
“These are such a find. You could easily dress these trousers up and down.”
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
But whilst the faux leather trousers had Rebecca beaming, she wasn’t as impressed with the £39.50 horseshoe jeans.
She concluded: “First thing I really don’t like, really don’t like.
“This is supposed to be the new barrel leg, the new carrot leg. These do not replace the carrot leg in my opinion.
“A very weird shape. These are a no from me.”
