Well-Dressed Women ALWAYS Shop Here ** & it's not where you might think ** plus what to buy

[@jacquiventura4646]

If you buy something cheap just change the buttons . 😉😉😉 I brought a striped jacket from Sainsbury's and did the buttons and have got sooo many Compliments ! People thinking it was expensive ...

[@lynndupree1205]

I do this all the time, replacing buttons with nicer ones!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

There’s nothing wrong with M&S, they have many good-quality classics, that’s all I need. They also carry plenty of designer and trendier items, I think they have something for everyone. I just we wish could enjoy their full selection here in the US. We do have a US site for them, but the offerings are so limited that I never was able to get an item of theirs linked by a UK influencer. Like all non-US links, they’re lost when the site requires us to change our country. It’s really too bad, I love using links to help support my favorite UK influencers, of which you are Number One, Gemma

[@teresanash-mcneil-hf1fo]

Marks and Spencer is a real go to for quality and style, I get a lot of staples there.

[@juliemoore6957]

I vote for the gold mesh strap.❤

[@blktauna]

MM&S have always had excellent basics and understated styles. I load up everytime I'm in London.

[@siobhankerr9423]

Lovely memories shopping at M&S in the 90s with my English Gran who was a seamstress, she always said a well-made blouse could elevate any outfit! 😊 She also wore gloves, hangbag & matching heels well into her 80s ❤

[@mehitabel6564]

I find if I shop carefully in M&S you can pick up items that you'd never guess were from there, and can look quite expensive. I particularly gravitate towards Autograph and Jaeger, but their 'M&S Collection' also yields interesting things. The only gripe I have with M&S is their cashmere - the colours are just slightly 'off', too pastel or too starkly bright. I feel they suit more winter or spring-toned ladies, rather than soft muted autumnal types like me.

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Agree 👍

[@gracemitchell698]

Good to see you doing m+s, my favourite, I've had a shirt from marks some years ago with these invisible extra buttons, wear it every summer, good old marks, I'd be lost without them there.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

It’s my first dedicated video to Marks & Spencer in these years I’ve been on KZbin, a bit overdue really 😂

[@gracemitchell698]

@@Gemmawhattowear YE!!!

[@Julia4453]

The navy beach dress with the sandals, bag, and sunglasses you wore it with was stunning. Navy is always so classic.

[@annedonker4795]

love these outfits! wish we had M&S in the US

[@tarchuleta1455]

I’m not surprised. I shopped at M&S often when I lived in Europe for four years.

[@mtngrl5859]

I like the watch with the brown strap, it gives it a more relaxed look. I love M&S, I remember the first time I went into a M&S store, I was very impressed with all of the clothes. My UK friends laughed at me that I like it as much as I did.

[@christinesnowden4562]

You look beautiful in the orange dress!🤩

[@RebelAlliance42]

With that striped jumper with the long cuffs, you could just do a very easy invisible tack stitch to hold them up. That would look lovely, and if you ever wanted to sell or donate it, tack stitches are very easy to remove.

[@janedavidson8348]

Would love an M&S classy winter looks video too. The 5 link watch strap is lovely.

[@deborahmichele]

Your haircut/color and make-up are outstanding; you look fantastic! The outfits with the dark, skinny jeans: Oolala

[@magsmack9760]

I love your hair, it looks so modern and stylish. Also, I am loving M&S once again after a long period of being disappointed with their clothes.

[@m.s9146]

I just purchased a sweater with those bell sleeves and I rolled them up twice. It’s worked perfectly.

[@kathyjones7611]

The M and S shirt with the extra button is , l agree,a work of genius.l believe they call it a “no peep placket”.My teenage daughter particularly appreciated this for her school blouses.

[@MountainMama1]

I like the gold mesh band!

[@debrawalters9746]

M&S is the store I recently shopped online from the US! I loved most of what I ordered. The knit short sleeve and sleeveless sweaters were all beautifully made, and so comfortable. The pants were all too big as well as the dresses. It was because of oversizing and also the sizing just didn’t translate right to US sizes. Overall I was very happy with most of what I ordered and kept it. Thank you for this video if I hadn’t shopped there recently, I would have after seeing this. Blessing all.

[@fionafrazer8820]

There's a reason M&S has been around for so long - frumpy or not, there are loads of very classic pieces to be found, and in my experience, the quality is usually very good. The first place I go when I'm back home in London to stock up on bras and knickers!

[@lynnereed5948]

Love M&S they're really getting it right just now. Beautiful quality clothes. Well done M&S

[@Hmcet]

I like either of the gold watch bands best!

[@kellyreiterman]

Those are some fab finds at M&S. Excellent prices as well. I was surprised that I liked the pink trench, since I usually run from pinks and other pastels. LOL. It looked quite subtle and it paired gorgeously with the gray trousers and with the jeans. The dark jeans paired with the white shirt or the striped shirt and blazer were absolute 🔥!

[@lonawhitten6854]

Cuff the sleeves on the sweater and sew to stay.😁

[@margarethoughton6288]

Good to see you doing M & S. After a few years in the doldrums (except underwear) where even as a core customer I struggled to see a single thing some seasons, they seem to have upped their game, and their new store in the area is ❤

[@sugarplumk2381]

The second watch, gold mesh, looks best with the orange shirt IMHO. The black also works if you want to dress it up a bit.

[@margarettaylor920]

Love the pink trench coat!

[@chicalertng]

I have always loved M&S and I look forward to shopping there anytime I am in the U.K. Their quality is unbeatable! And they make the best strapless bras in my opinion! 👌🏽👌🏽

[@cathoxfordshire]

I love my m&s sienna jeans. I have about five pairs. 3 of regular length pairs, and a couple of short pairs, depending on if going out and wearing different shoes or boots.

[@sherryhudson9075]

You look terrific in both the orange dress and the mat orange skirt ❤

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you 😊

[@archeewaters]

gold mesh strap goes the best with the orange skirt

[@joanmatchett8100]

M&S make great trousers.

[@2010lrain]

M&S have improved recently. Their large stores have a reasonable choice nowsdays. Don't like black with bright colours it's too harsh. Navy looks better. It's good to see M&S doing other makes such as ghost.

[@beverleyphillips2198]

I like the gold mesh strap the best.

[@rozmail564]

Hi Gemma thanks for doing M & S just to let you know M&S have been doing that hidden button on there shirts for some years now I wear them to work sleeveless, short sleeved and long sleeve just stops that gapping I love them. There jeans are also very good fit now, they have up there game. love you bags and watch very elegant look.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Oh wow really, I think it’s the best thing ever. Wonder why other stores haven’t started doing it, a complete game changer. I have to pin all of my blouses and shirts otherwise I’m always exposing myself

[@justinebarton2931]

I love M&S. I particularly like 'The Edit'. And a lot of the prices are so reasonable. The oversized girlfriend shirts are about £25 for instance and a similar shirt at Cos, Arket, Massimo Dutti or Other Stories would be in the region of £55. I love their wide leg trousers and the fact that they do different trouser lengths as I need the long length. Yes they do some frumpy stuff, but you can't go wrong with their basics, cotton shirts, linen shirts etc. Although they do do an awful lot of polyester. I've also found that it's worth looking in the mens' department. This year I bought my white cotton crew necks from the mens. £8 each or 3 for £22 which was cheaper than the ladies at £8.50 each and for me the fit was better.

[@southernbelle007]

That orange and black outfit looks so chic on you! I like the 5 link gold watch band. I initially liked the gold mesh, but when looking at all of them together, the 5 link gave more balance to all the jewelry and bag - can't go wrong either way!!

[@naimamohamed4434]

I loved going to M&S when visiting UK . I live in USA , i do have a Primark 3 miles away not as good when they first opened up . My new favorite store is Mango in same mall !! Better then Zara , H&M. NO Brown strap !!! Gold link strap , all day , every day

[@jnelsimpson1190]

I love the pink trench! Sadly its not showing anymore at M&S.

The white shirt and jeans with pink trench looks good too!

[@arabellamagnolia3013]

I like orange and a deep bright sky blue together

[@arell56]

I loved all your outfits so much! It was difficult to choose my favorite. The watch straps were also lovely. I think I liked the 5 strand gold strap the most. Enjoyed your video very much.

[@laurapearce9927]

The gold mesh looks great, good for day 2 night

[@mmcs4973]

There were lots of nice outfits here. Loved all of the skirts, they look quite chic, and the gold strap, the 5 link, a little chunkier to offset the very feminine skirt. I wish we had an M&S in Vancouvr, but when they were here 30 years ago, the stuff was hideous and frumpy ( quilted nylon satin house coats..ugh!)😅

[@cws2355]

The problem with M&S is the sizing. As I live in Europe and no longer have access to a shop I’ve stopped buying there as the sizes are just hit and miss.

[@pageremick5504]

Gold mesh strap and your hair looks GREAT! Love the length. Good points about where to shop - that you CAN get upscale looks in surprising places. Thanks!

[@TheClairesKnee]

Thanks for this video. Always so much choice at m&s. The little placket button has been on some of their shirts and blouses for years and such a bonus feature.

[@lynndupree1205]

I think the gold mesh band is beautiful on you with the outfit you are showing. I just love your videos and your style!!! I am in Ohio and never heard of this store, so thanks for sharing.

[@veronicaroy1766]

I love Marks and Sparks. Apart from their chinos made in Bangladesh, their clothes are reasonably priced and good quality and nowadays quite stylish if you stay away from the flowing flowery numbers and the excessive polyester. I have bought lots of things on line but the sleeves are always too long for me, sort of gorilla length.

[@ariadne3288]

Marks and Spencer's always offers good quality clothes that last. I'm a regular customer here in Greece. I feel that silver jewelry and watches will look great on you judging from your skin tone. Wouldn't you agree? 😊

[@sharonmartelli3154]

Great video Gemma ❤❤, love Marks and Spencer. All their stores have closed in Canada. seems to be a thing here. Nordstrom has gone as well. Thankfully there is always the website.

[@christianegrimard6555]

I préfère the brown strap with this outfit❤

[@irenejohnson9614]

Love all of the watch bands with the outfit, but the brown one would work best If you changed the purse or the shoes to brown. The addition of a scarf with brown and black as well as orange could also make a difference for the brown band. Lastly, the brown band would be neat with a brown tam or fedora. Love watching your posts.

[@SuzanneLeQuesne]

I think brown leather strap always look classy

[@virginiatomazou6894]

All this styling is really smart and classy, but for women who are tall and slim. Unfortunately, not all women are built this way and the clothes suggested may not look so good, so it's good to make suggestions for this category of women also!

[@jacqueline5529]

The gold mesh strap worked best with the silky skirt.

[@teresahalliday3680]

Very nice video. I like the black band with that outfit.

[@newtonmoon]

It's great advice. If I may add though, the question why do we always need new things? Cashmere Sweater sounds great, however, it was recently exposed how the cashmere goats are treated. Their legs tight together, hammered on their head, and the fur ripped off them after which they are killed. I think we should really question our habits, do we really need the xth sweater, dress or whatever it may be. There are so many habits one can pursue. Conscious consumerism I'd argue for. Looking good on the cost of an animal having been maltreated, it's questionable. I also have cashmere sweaters. However, after knowing this, I will never buy one ever again.

[@penelopekimber6377]

M&S do have some great clothes but buying online from outside UK, I find that the popular sizes of their best items are often sold out, even when they are emailing out ads for them. They really need to sort out their stock control.
