Marks & Spencer shoppers praise 'gorgeous' mint green outfit as the 'best suit ever'

Marks & Spencer shoppers have hailed an outfit as "the best" and an "ideal" light and stylish option to wear in the spring sunshine.

The high street favourite has been winning fashion fans over with its spring selection in recent weeks, and has showcased something a bit different over on its Instagram page to add a more formal touch to your wardrobe. The outfit in question that has left shoppers impressed is a matching blazer and trousers, which come in a colourful but classy shade of mint green.

Customers were quick to fawn over the suit after M&S posted a clip of a model rocking it out in the sun. "The best suit ever," one person declared in the comments section, while another wrote: "Such a gorgeous suit."

Shoppers were particularly keen on the shade of the suit, with one fan writing in the comments: "Loving this colour!" And another said of the mint green: "Best spring colour."

The outfit consists of a Linen Blend Tailored Single Breasted Blazer, which has a price tag of £59, and Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers, priced at £39.50 - meaning the full suit comes in at just under £100. Matching High Waisted Shorts are also available for £25 to pair with the blazer for a more casual summery look.

The blazer has racked up plenty of glowing reviews from M&S shoppers, earning a rating of 4.3 stars overall. One fan described it as "ideal for the spring and summer", while someone else said in their review: "Love this blazer, good fit and great colour. Light and easy can be worn anywhere."

However, it didn't win everyone over - a couple of shoppers weren't impressed by the fit of the blazer, with one person remarking: "Too long and too wide for wide trousers". Online shoppers should bear in mind that M&S offers free returns, typically for up to 35 days from purchase, and recommends returning an item you're not happy with to your nearest M&S store as the quickest way to get a refund.

Similarly, the trousers have a rating of 4.4 stars from shoppers overall, with several five-star reviews as customers gave full marks for their quality, style and value for money. One person penned: "Really comfortable and relaxed trousers in a beautiful soft colour."

Another fan said: "Perfect for the summer, beautiful colour. Very elegant." But the sizing was again an issue for some shoppers, with some saying they found them a little on the small side around the waist, while a few others said they had to take the hem up to shorten the legs.

The suit was paired with the M&S Pure Cotton Striped Modern Tee, which costs £15, and Lace Up Trainers for £39.50, for those who want to shop the complete look. Trouser suits with a pop of colour seem to be all the rage this spring, with several other high street favourites currently offering similar styles.

Mango has a more formal Double-Breasted Suit Blazer and matching trousers in a mint green shade, priced at £79.99 and £35.99 respectively. And River Island is selling a Lime Green Oversized Blazer, which has been reduced in the seasonal sale from £65 to £48.
