I'm a pro at shopping in Marks & Spencer and these 17 new-season spring buys look like they're designer

The weather is still a bit chilly, so this modern Harrington jacket, crafted from suedette, makes for a stylish piece to add to your smart-casual wardrobe. It is designed for a relaxed fit, and features two side pockets create a timeless look. 

This midi-length black dress is an absolute winner for the new season. It can be styled for work or the weekend and features a regular fit, a waisted shape and a v-neck front, which gives it a contemporary edge. The sleeves are roomy and give a hint of volume.

We are definitely in trench coat weather right now - we're in that strange limbo time between getting gorgeous sunshine and chilly temperatures. I think this Autograph trench coat will be a great investment buy, and it's pretty reasonably priced for Autograph. It definitely looks very similar to a designer one we all know and love. 

I am so here for this sleeveless gilet jacket for the new season, and you can wear it right now with a long-sleeved top underneath but come summer it'll look great without, just like the model.

M&S is usually a reliable choice for footwear - and these fisherman sandals are going to divide the nation. I will be styling these with a pair of stonewash jeans right now and in spring they'll be worn with my summer dresses.

Wedding season is going to come around faster than you think and this woven clutch bag will instantly glam-up your evening looks. 

I am definitely going to to give this floral skirt a try. I'll be styling it in a similar way to the M&S website. The slinky slip skirt will be super versatile, and what's more, it's elasticated so say hello to maximum comfort.

These studded ballet flats will not stay in stock for long - they sold out the first time around because all the influencers are obsessed with these shoes. They will bring a touch of luxury to your everyday outfits.

I am obsessed with the look of these chic cropped wide-leg trousers by M&S. I predict you'll get so much wear out of them. I'm already planning the vacation outfits around them. 

Knitwear needn't be for winter - give it a spring transformation with this M&S one shouldered top. I think it'll look superb right now, and you'll be reaching for it to go with your linen trousers this summer. Don't sleep on this one! 

I can't be the only one getting chic Chanel vibes with this short-sleeved blazer?!

So on trend! These woven heels are a stylish addition to your collection. The best bit? They have Insolia® technology which redistributes weight from the balls of your feet, reducing pressure and increasing ankle stability, so you can wear your heels comfortably for longer. 

I have an unhealthy obsession with bandana neck ties right now, I've actually lost count of how many I own! This one might need to be added to my collection. Trust me, it just elevates a relatively plain outfit.

M&S' sequinned mini skirt from the Autograph collection is a statement in effortless elegance. I absolutely adore this skirt and it's wonderful for special occasions this spring/summer. 

This is a showstopper of a suit for spring, and I love the chic ecru shade. I'd wear this to a christening or another special occasion. 

This blouse will go with almost everything in this round-up - you'll wonder how you ever liked without it. It's smart, it's sophisticated style and it has a slightly oversized fit to make it look cool. 

Ooh, check out M&S' very on-trend statement earrings. These look like they could be designer.
