Recently, 'M&S insider' Sam Briones caused a stir among her 24.9K Instagram followers after sharing an Instagram Reels video featuring the retailer's Satin Look Relaxed Floral Blazer (£59) and its matching Satin Floral Wide Leg Trousers (£39.50).

The suit, which can be mixed and matched or worn as an ensemble, comes in a white satin-look fabric complete with a bold green and lilac floral print. The blazer can be purchased here, while the trousers - available in short/petite, regular and long - can be purchased here.

Suits remain incredibly popular among fashion lovers, especially now the summer season is here. Many weddings typically take place over the summer, with guests often on the hunt for more formal looks suited to the occasion.

A range of retailers offer a variety of options and prices. Online shopping juggernaut ASOS offers a range of suits, in white and other colours, while fast fashion site Shein sells an eclectic mix of floral options.

The trousers are a wide leg fit, the blazer is single breasted. This feels luxurious to wear. I've accessorised with some black barely there heel and ivory bag to complete my look."
