Marks & Spencer has launched a new Per Una collection just in time for summer - and shoppers are already loving it.
The new range has just landed in stores and online, and is all about bold colours and prints to make a statement this season with striking florals, bohemian detailing and floaty shapes perfect for the warmer weather. New arrivals include summer dresses, blouses, linen trousers, sandals and necklaces, with prices starting from £25.
Among the highlights picked out by M&S is the Linen Rich Floral V-Neck Maxi Tiered Dress, which is available in either petite or regular in sizes six to 24 and has a price tag of £59. Sporting a classy monochrome floral print, M&S promised: "This gorgeous dress will take you everywhere this summer."

The dress has already earned five-star reviews from shoppers, with one person describing it as "wonderful" while someone else said it is a "great style for a bigger bust". However, multiple customers said that the dress came in a big fit, with one even saying they had to return theirs because it "touched the floor", so if you have your eye on it you may want to consider buying a smaller size than usual.
Another dress picked out by M&S in the new Per Una collection was the Pure Cotton Midaxi Tiered Dress, which is available in three eye-catching prints including a bright orange floral. Priced at £45, this stylish number has also received rave reviews from shoppers - one fan said it was "so comfortable and cool to wear in the cotton material", while someone else described it as "gorgeous".
Another shopper wrote: "This is a beautiful dress to look at and wear, it's going to be a favourite for me." But several reviews had experienced the same issue of the dress fitting "far too big" - suggesting that other shoppers buy a smaller size than usual.
M&S suggested styling the dresses with a pair of stylish "must-have" Leather Crossover Flatform Sandals from Per Una, available in either black or tan for £59. The summer footwear has an impressive rating of 4.3 out of five stars from M&S shoppers - one person praised them as "so comfortable" and said they had even "made my clothes on trend again".
The floral dress can also be worn with a Denim Trucker Jacket for those cooler summer days, M&S advised, with their Per Una suggestion available in either cream, pale pink or navy and costing £45. More than 85% of shoppers awarded this jacket either four or five stars, hailing it as "great quality", "very stylish" and "good value for money".
The less positive reviews of the jacket were again to do with sizing, with one shopper saying theirs was "far too big" and another customer claiming that M&S sizes "are all over the place at the moment". If you have any trouble with sizing when shopping from M&S, remember that the retailer's returns policy allows you to take items back to your nearest store or by post for free, typically giving you 35 days to do so or 14 days for sale items.
If you're looking to achieve a similar look for less, Primark is selling a Floral Maxi Dress also available in a bold orange colour for just £14. The high street giant also stocks several denim jackets, including a Short Denim Jacket available in light blue, navy or black for £17, as well as Cross-Strap Wedge Sandals for just £16.
