It\u2019s no secret that here at Red, we champion any high-street<\/a> brand that offers stylish, high-quality, on-trend clothing at affordable prices \u2013 and M&S certainly fits that brief. So, given that we\u2019re currently busy refreshing our winter wardrobes for the Christmas party season and chilly new year, we checked out the new-in section to see what gems we could find before they go.<\/p>\n

The trick when scouting out a bargain is to look for classic, simple items that could easily be elevated by luxury accessories \u2013 say, a designer handbag, a beautiful coat or some statement jewellery. Timeless pieces are much more likely to still feel fashionable in the years to come, making them even more of a steal for their price tags.<\/p>\n

M&S<\/p>\n

Our latest M&S haul features nine hero items that genuinely look expensive, despite them all costing less than \u00a350. It includes a flirty bubble-hem mini dress and a midaxi velvet and sheer slip \u2013 two fresh LBDs for your partywear rotation \u2013 as well as a handful of knits that frankly could pass as designer and that we know you’ll wear to death.<\/p>\n
