When it comes to shopping, there’s always one place that hits the nail on the head every time, and that is, of course, Marks and Spencer’s. Whether you’re hunting for that viral buy that you’ve spotted everyone wearing, need a beauty top-up of your favourite skincare item, or need to buy those picky bits for a picnic with friends, they always deliver.

However, if there’s one thing in particular that Marks & Spencer knows to do, it’s creating wardrobe staples that become a key part of everyday dressing. Most importantly, their lingerie is designed and executed to another level, as the brand reports that 1 in 3 women buys her knickers at M&S, and a bra is sold every two seconds. So when they said it’s launching its biggest collection in a century, of course, we sat up and paid attention.

Enter BODY by M&S, a brand-new 300-piece collection that will redefine how we see, feel, and wear lingerie. Having been a stylist for over eight years and dressing countless females, one question I’m always asked is “Where to find a good-fitting bra?” Well, M&S are here to address that concern and solve your problem.

Think elevated basics, seriously comfortable fabrics and the sort of pieces that make getting dressed feel easy rather than overwhelming. It’s the kind of launch that rethinks the foundations of what we wear every day. And honestly? We’re already a little bit obsessed. 

To make it less overwhelming and easier to navigate, M&S have broken down the launch into four categories: Body Invisibles, Body Sculpt, Body Soft, and Body Lace. With 99% of women prioritising comfort, the brand now offers bra sizes from 30a to 46h and is available in a range of colourways to suit various skin tones. As if that’s not a reason on its own to rush to add to your baskets, the affordable prices will have you adding multiple styles.

Body Invisibles is all about barely-there fits with ultra-stretch. They’re the type of pieces that don’t look like you’re wearing anything. They’re created with hardly any seams (if any at all), smooth and have a 360-stretch so they mold perfectly to your body without any unwanted discomfort. These are perfect for styling under slinky dresses, everyday t-shirts, and slip skirts.

Body Sculpt is all about enhancing your natural body shape through shapewear. Each item has been specially designed by the team to lift, smooth, and, you guessed it, sculpt in all the right areas. Shapewear is often an overlooked styling step, with people not realising the transformative power of it, creating a more streamlined silhouette and providing that boost of confidence under your garments. What’s more genius about M&S’s Body Sculpt pieces is that they are made with cooling technology, so you don’t have to worry about overheating when wearing them.

Body Soft welcomes underlayers that gently sit against the skin and offer the softest, lightweight and premium fit.

Body Lace is about to make you look and feel your best self with cuts of delicately designed lace items that will have you strutting down the streets like you’re on a catwalk. Each item offers sleek, seamless technology that is smooth like the other categories. However, these are so pretty that they shouldn’t be hidden away. One of my top styling tips is that if you’re wearing a bra that’s decorative, leave your shirt buttons open to give a cheeky peek-a-boo moment.
