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

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 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.

It looks like someone trying to jazz up school uniform.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

That looks really cumbersome to wear, heavy and unyielding.

£250 to look this tacky?

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.

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.

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

They’re having a laugh!

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

Only for the very young and well off.
