An ode to M&S: 20 pieces that prove Marks & Spencer is still gold
Earlier this week, Marks & Spencer announced that they were to close some 60 stores and cut back on clothing to focus on food.
This got GLAMOUR thinking about all the ways in which we love the brand. M&S defines what it means to be British - in the same way that cups of tea do, old man pubs, Coronation Street, roast dinners and the art of telling a friend "I'm sure it'll be fine" when you actually mean "this can only end in a disaster".
As for the fashion, Marks & Spencer has championed high-quality style catering for every generation - from overcoat to underwear - for years.
To hero this great British brand we've edited 20 pieces - all under £100 - that you can buy now wear now...
