Autumn fashion searches are rising, because as lovely as the warmer weather is, those in the know realise that the best new season and transitional looks start to drop right now. To make the most of my money, I'm concentrating on the best investment buys with a contemporary spin. I've scrolled the entire new in at M&S selection and pulled out the bits worth knowing about. I only clicked the M&S new-in for a light lunchtime browse but found myself piling items into my basket for further inspection. When it comes to fabrication, knits with short sleeves, reliable denim and touches of luxe leather are set to underpin the first part of autumn, offering contemporary style, timelessness and breathability, meaning that these gorgeous M&S buys are investment pieces too.
