Summer’s hottest fashion picks with M&S 22 May 2026

Next in our spring fashion takeover, we visited M&S to discover what’s trending in their Merry Hill store.

Katy gave us the lowdown on how to style satin and lace for spring and summer, to complement your existing wardrobe and have everyone saying “love that!”

Satin shorts

Katy calls satin shorts “a key piece at the moment,” and are going viral for all the right reasons!

Team with a basic white tee (a perfect contrast to black shorts, or for a tonal look with white) and then layer over a structured leather waistcoat, or pare back with for a sportier look with a funnel neck jacket.

Satin skirt

A satin skirt is a great addition to your capsule wardrobe! Katy recommends to “wear with a smarter top for eveningwear, or make it casual with a black t-shirt”.

She also styles this lace insert skirt with this checked jacket, that you can then rewear on the school run with jeans or joggers! We love the versatility.

SATIN DRESS

Katy’s personal favourite item in-store right now is this mini dress – it’s giving “Sienna Miller vibes”. Get it before it goes, as it’s going viral!

So if you’re looking for effortless layering pieces for spring styling, look no further! Head to M&S Merry Hill to check these out, along with their full SS26 collection.
