Is it me, or is this a pretty ghastly look? Even if you’re young?

Only for the very young and well off.

Looks awful…. she looks as if she’s given up on life, not sure if the clothes would look any better on a more vibrant model

They’re having a laugh!

I think that is the leather skirt I have just ordered from M & S

I don’t like the gold jacket, the colour rather than the style, otherwise it looks fine to me - bomber jackets, pussy bow blouses and leather skirts are all ‘in’ at the moment.

To me, the gold jacket just looks cheap and nasty, even if it’s far from cheap! But I dare say it’d look a lot better on a different model - if it actually appeared to fit her.

£250 to look this tacky?

That looks really cumbersome to wear, heavy and unyielding.

looks like she's been made to wear it...and she's in a huff

I think it's more her grumpy face than the outfit. Plus you can't see the whole outfit.

It's not that bad..it's current, for certain age groups.
If your interested in Fashion watch "In Vouge" the 90's on Disney Plus, very interesting.

It's on trend, I don't personally like the jacket. But the model is weird.

I have written to M and S head office several times in the last few years, only to receive a bland, meaningless PR reply.
My local store in Glasgow has clothing which only really looks good on slim young women with a waist, especially for the dresses. I have tried to tell them that the demographic with the most money to spend in their stores is women like me - mid 60s to mid 70s who. if like me, do not have a slim waist and need a size 16/18. I have asked their designers to please take note of this but, no, they don't. The advertising is aimed at pretty, slim young women most of whom are not loyal to the M & S brand as many older people are. Could somebody from M & S reading this please reply.

The model looks as if she is queuing at the soup kitchen..
The jacket bulky and unyielding, the skirt I like but on another model, the blouse is ok but I wouldn't buy it.I coukd look that awful on £10.

It looks like someone trying to jazz up school uniform.

I was asked for a review by M&S.
The main point I made was that their use of models who look, in the main, petulant, sulky or bored does not encourage me to want to buy their clothes as it's not a look I aspire to.
No reply, but no surprise there.

I noticed recently on the One Show that Davina McCall was wearing ankle socks, and presenter Anita Rani later in the week was also wearing them. Is that the fashion now, short skirts and socks?

.I coukd look that awful on £10.

Allsorts 😅😅

Looks like the kind of outfit Rached Reeves would choose, especially with that haircut.

I’m not from M&S, but I know that sales have increased significantly since they changed the advertising strategy and the group they aim at. In 2023/24, overall Clothing & Home sales grew 5.3% according to their website. I think younger women probably spend more on clothes, and there are a lot of more wearable clothes for all ages now than there used to be a couple of years ago. I can put up with the weird advertising as long as I can get what I like and need there, which I can, I think they have upped their game.

She is a very conservative dresser, I think you need some new specs biglouis!

I was about to say that it looks like school uniform, and why would anyone who's still at or not long left school want to wear that outfit.

The school leavers I know are only too glad to be free of buttoned up blouses, ties and skirts. Although most school uniform skirts I've seen are turned over at the top so they look more like belts.

M n S's grown up look for the autumn. Nothing much there I'd wear or afford, but they are my go-to for basics.

The entire outfit is horrible!
