I 1000% agree with you about the lining issue. There have been so many times that I have wanted to purchase an item made of natural and breathable fabrics only to find that the lining is polyester. As you said, it defeats the purpose of buying a breathable fabric.

Lovely no nonsense commentary’s of all clothes. Thank you.

I am 54 years old and you were my 1st ever you tube subscription as I loved your videos… since then I have subscribed to just a few more … but I have to say non match up to yours … for many reasons, including your honesty and really good style. So, although I am probably double your age … you have inspired me to buy the following which is actually something I would never be influenced by. All from M&S (because for my age, although I love lots of styles…. lots of styles do not like me anymore 😮). So I have bought this week … 2 x different pairs of Sandals .. 1 x bag … 1 x wide leg trousers .. and a skirt and I am sooooooooooo happy with my purchases…. I kinda feel like I am…. (and yes I am going to use the word) ‘trendy’ again… but without really trying. As well as looking age appropriate, I completely get your ethos… I beg that you continue with these videos because I would miss your guidance and advice….

I am 64 and wholeheartedly agree. I have watched Emma and Simon for many years too x

Thanks Emma. I am always overwhelmed when I go to M&S so you made my shopping experience so much better as I have the same style as you. I can pick and order and bingo done in 10 mns ! Keep doing these videos xxx

Thank the Lord, someone who gives us a back view of the clothing 🤗

Totally agree with the polyester lining. I wore this linen suit for a work event in Florida and by the time I'd walked to the conference centre I was a sweaty mess.

I feel like M&S have really upped their game recently.

I agree. I’ve been a fan for about the last 10 years but they’ve always had very inconsistent collections. Some seasons great and some seasons not so (for me anyway). But for the last couple of years they have been excelling 🙌🏼

@@EmmaHill I used to only go there for underwear and plain T-shirts but I’ve got some great suits/skirts in there recently. My local one has a huge beauty range now too with products I could only get online or in France before.

I think the Loewe dupe is actually classier than the original. It has better proportion.

I saw the 3-piece linen suit online, got excited, clicked on composition and... polyester lining. Completely agree it's a let down. I buy linen to breathe! It looks stunning though, I'm still tempted. I've had linings removed on blazers successfully but on a waistcoat I think I'd need to replace it and that gets spendy and doesn't even always work right. I may just keep searching for a linen 3-piece with cotton or viscose linings.

I wish we had a physical M&S in our country. Whenever I'm in the UK, I could spend ages browsing 😁

Emma, we do appreciate you. Thank you for all the content you provide to us 🙏🏻

I’m so happy to have just found you! I’m a love/hater of M and S clothes over the years- agree with everything you say here - just bought linen suit and now re- considering because of lining. , so really appreciating your detailed reviews. Thank you!

Thank you for the M&S try-on showcase; very pleased to get the suede flat bed sandals (I love my Birks but hoping these will be great too) and I also now have a more flattering pair of linen trousers. Very helpful Emma, I’m into my 60s and pleased to see you also have some more mature followers who find your advice helpful too!

Thx for your honesty in this video 😊

Thanks Emma for a great video. A thorough try-on that's given me inspiration. Annoyingly, a lot of the clothes are out of stock in my size. Hope they come back in. Keep up the great work, I love the care you take over your videos and also your honesty - the plisse does look cheap!

Excellent & inspirational video Emma, I love the fact you style the try on item with your existing wardrobe ❤

I recency bought that beige short parka and I’m obsessed with it!

Great choices, Emma. What a shame about the pleated set, because it does look so good. I love the basket bag with the black stripes! Really love those colours together too. Always delighted to see any of the B’s wander in and out 🥰.

Thanks for a wonderful video Emma❤very informative 👏👏And I always have fun watching your videos 🤪🤣🤣”Things poking through”😂😂”ventilate certain regions “😆😅I love it! ❤❤😅😘

Thank you for the great overview 😊

Everything looks great on you Emma. Loved the linen trousers and black denim skirt!

Brilliant video and appreciate your commentary about materials ❤

Please make more of these Emma. You’ve definitely converted me to M&S

I like the tie lining in the basket as I always think about pick pockets nowadays

Love M&S and thank you for the video as love a plain basic's wardrobe with a bit of stripe x

Emma you prove that conscientious purchases in fashion can be stunning thanks for a delightful Easter morning now to let your Playlist run which is my ideal fun thing to do

You are so classy!! I love your effortless style.❤

Love your commentary, always so concise and so helpful, Thank you! Happy Easter!

Appreciate the good honest review of the clothes and accessories. Have to agree 100% about M & S letting themselves down by introducing fabric that cheapen the goods. I am so surprised that they use polyester and yet have dropped their policy of a “bag for life” in favour of overpriced paper bags. These bags fall to bits if you purchase frozen goods our (heaven forbid) you get caught in the rain when taking goods home.

This is a really useful video. I keep dipping into it at different points so thanks for the time stamps and links to products.

Really enjoyed this video. Very helpful, thank you.

I have just found you and subscribed, you are good at this. I haven't been to M&S for a while but you have inspired me to go and have a try on.

Love the smarter fit linen trousers they look amazing. I do like a straw bag in summer too, I got a Loewe dupe from Etsy last year which I loved but it got damaged so the M&S one could be a nice replacement. Great video, thanks for trying on and showing what’s new, definitely worth going in for a mooch around.

I don’t know why M&S hasn’t reached out to you for a collab?? You are a great ambassador for the brand, I wish they had a store here in Australia 🥺 great picks as usual Emma… does this mean you don’t have a Spring/Summer Wishlist? 😊 Hi to Mr Simon!

Many thanks, Emma! As always, very inspiring! ❤

Emma, you do know the pleats please range from Miyake is all 100% polyester so in comparison the M&S pleated set is at an amazing price and looks really cool. I think that type of clothing has to be made of polyester for it to move and function the way it does not that I love polyester myself and try to stick to natural fabrics but just thought I’d point that out in case people thought the Miyake stuff was better. Loved the linen trousers and that white jumper the most.

Thank you Emma 👍 loved how u paired the waist coat with the jeans 👌

Hi Emma thank you for sharing Absolutely love the clothes and shoes 🤗❤️

Hahaha! I did have a big smile on my face when your video popped up 😊 I've just finished my summer holiday shop, in M&S.... AND picked practically picked the same items 😅 I sized up on the short parka and love the oversized balloon effect. Then stuck to linen and cotton for tops 🖐🏾 No polyester here! Im glad that you did a Jean try on because I got a little overwhelmed by all the different silhouettes. I might now try the white wide leg too.

Impressive! Always loved M & S. For me the Stuart Rose years were the best. Then they seemed to lose their way. I just love your picks - elegant, very wearable and affordable. Well done M & S!

I enjoy your style. I feel clothes should be comfortable as well as fashionable. Thank you.

The full length mod shots are helpful! You're convincing me of a waistcoat...

Hi Emma, thank you as always. My mom used to use the phrase ‘arty farty’! 😂😂😂 Thank you for keeping it real in hard times. Our budget is tight at the moment as we are doing up our old house and we chose Joanna from little green! We love it! I love the way you speak to us all with all budgets and I am so inspired by the M&S dad style sandals. Thanks again and happy Easter 🐣🐣🐣💗💗💗

I appreciate that you give More views of the clothing Including close ups that show a better picture of the fabric, and like the comment I read I also appreciate back views.. Thanks so much

Great video ❤ I'm really curious about your fragrance collection.

Loved this, great inspiration. I have some of the items from last year, even though they week them a little bit but will be adding some of the lighter trousers 😊

Great outfits thanks 🎉 I absolutely HATE POLYESTER but love the clothes styles. If only they would give us a choice on fabric content !!

Hi Emma, You have made my Sunday, something to cheer me up 😃looking at the dull, gloomy day so far. All the items you showed are so practical and wearable. I loved the white smart wide jeans, have those in dark indigo already and even requested M&S to make them in white/ off white in one of my reviews. Absolutely love those linen trousers all of them. I Always look forward to your videos and you are always to the point no nonsense talking ❤

Loved the video Emma. Always love your style. You look fabulous in all the clothes. Happy Easter 🐣🐣🐣🥰

Emma so many lovely pieces I liked all the bags too! 😊

Thanks Emma, another great video. I so appreciate your mentioning the fiber content of the clothes, it’s the most important criterion to me in choosing wardrobe items. I can’t wear any plastics, i.e. synthetic fibers, and that severely limits my choices. Fast-fashion and a lot of other high-street fashion brands are not very wearable because of the dominance of polyester, acrylic, nylon, etc., and blends containing them. The “manmade cellulosic fibers” like viscose are ok, I think because they’re made from plant fibers, not petrochemicals, and they breathe.❤

I want to understand how Marks and Spencer sounded like "marks and sparks"

It's a long standing nickname for M&S

Lovely selection Emma, I'm very happy when you shop in very accessible M&S! The problem is their lack of stock, particularly in longer lengths, I always sign up for notifications but sometimes they're already back out of stock by the time I've clicked into the item 😫. Sizing is irratic too, you can order two of the same size and they often fit very differently, mind you that's the same with a lot of stores. I still love them though, they've always been part of my life & my mum worked for them for many many years so my affection for them is close 🙂. Hope you're having a lovely weekend x

Emma, you mentioned about M&S Stormwear and I must tell you I have a parka that says Stormwear and it definitely works, snowstorms etc bring them on , it really works. XX

Oh brilliant! That’s so good to hear! I have a Storm Wear jacket from their GoodMove range which I sometimes use for dog walking but it’s yet to rain when I’ve been wearing it, which is incredibly ironic given that I live in the UK 🫠🤣

I totally agree with you on COS plisse black pant set. I purchased it too. You kept pulling on the pants when trying them on so did I a sign that it'snot good. Amazingly enough the pulling caused the creases to fall out or maybe it came like that. Im not sure. Also I dont know if they will return after washing. The material is AWFUL so disappointing, I purchased a chocolate brown pant set in the late 80s early 90s & the material was far better & the creases stayed without any issues even with sitting, pulling, or washing them. I wore that outfit a ton h each washing came out looking brand new. I absolutely love it❣️

A great video.

Love these videos, thanks Emma. Loving the smarter linen trousers. The waistcoat is lovely too but not confident having my arms out so will skip that one. I was looking at a cotton skirt similar on Uniqlo but been heavy round my tummy I feel the elastic might make it look worse, might have to try one. Happy Easter 😊

Oh I have to try those fragrances, I’m very curious now! Also, I would love to see your perfume collection one day, thanks!

Thanks Emma for an informative and lovely video. .

I'm quite restrictive in what fragrances I like to wear but I tried the M&S White Coconut last Summer and have to say it's a lovely perfume for Summer, imho. Love that they come in a 30ml, which is very handy for popping in your handbag. I was surprised to see you hadn't kept the linen waistcoat then I heard you say about the polyester lining and my heart sank as I've ordered it too. Will also be returning.

Love your selection ❤️

The drawstring closure is a bonus in the tan leather front plaque basket bag, although it needs to be a couple of inches below the edge of the bag so you dont see the cotton fabric and drawstring. It would drive me nuts if I could see it!!

Hi Emma, any recommendations for underwear to wear under the light coloured trousers? Obvs nude but which one would would you recommend please :)? x

Literally just picked up a few pairs of the M&S wide leg drawstring trousers, now considering the more tailored version now 😂

Great video as always 😊

Ps: I did not know about the 3 trouser lengths so I will definitely be headed to M&S since I have trouble finding shorter length trousers everywhere else! ❤

Great video as always ❤ I think with a pleated set, polyester has to be used, otherwise the pleats wouldn't last a wash. From memory the pleats please range was polyester too.

Hi Emma great haul liked everything except the polyester set from Autograph range ,can’t stand that plastic next to my skin ,linen and cotton wool and cashmere all the way ! I buy 98 percent of my clothing from M&S always have it just suits my body shape.Enjoy Easter 🐣

Im just so not paying fortunes Jo Malone anymore so will check these fragrances out at your suggestion ❤

Im new to yoour channel. So glad I found you because you are so helpful, clear, honest. Thank you for the concise update. Those basket bags are incredible, please provide more options you find because I am loving them but stock is an issue.

Your videos are never too long! I really love "artsy-fartsy" 🤣 Until today my favorite was "not my cup of tea" which I use regularly in the meanwhile! 😁 Fingers crossed that Zalando will add further styles, they already added the blazer and vest but still missing the trousers. In Germany it's the best possibility I know to shop M&S items! Does anyone know further?

Can you make a video about who can wear wide- leg vs straight-leg trousers for a 5.4 tall to a 5.7 makes a big difference in what type of trousers to wear right?

I wanted to know if the black sandals with two buckles which are also in black are they comfy sandals? Thank you and love your videos 💗

I hope you always do affordable prices stopping coz i love your test
