WE’VE all been there, walking through the kids’ section and wishing that the clothing came in adult sizing.
Rather than letting the little ones have all the fun, one woman decided to get her entire outfit from the children’s section at M&S and you won’t believe how good it looks.
Like most of us at the moment, Helena had been looking for summer clothes.
After popping into her local Marks and Spencer though, the 28-year-old was stunned by what she found in the department store.
However, it wasn’t the womenswear that caught her eye.
Instead, the content creator fell in love with the kids clothing and even made an entire TikTok video dedicated to her shopping spree.
It is not hard to see why she added the Pure Cotton Embroidered Top (£14) to her basket, as the sleeveless top looked absolutely incredible on.
Made from lightweight cotton, the kids’ blouse had stunning navy and light blue embroidery on it against an ivory background.
Even if the sun isn’t out, you can bring it with you as the top has delicate sun and flower motifs.
The gorgeous top has a round neckline, stunning frill shoulder straps and a peplum hem, meaning it will be comfortable to wear even as temperatures soar.
If you weren’t already sold, there are also matching trousers to go with the top – which are equally stunning.
Designed with the same breathable cotton and adorable motifs, these trousers are wide leg so will look super flattering on.
They also have an elasticated waist and are lined, so are perfect for any summer wardrobe.
Both the Pure Cotton Checked Floral Trousers (£20) and the matching blouse come in sizes 6-16 years old, so petite fashionistas can enjoy this stunning set – just like Helena did.
Writing in the caption, the influencer revealed that she’d already planned to wear the trousers to this year’s Glastonbury.
She gushed: “Everybody is talking about M&S clothes but y’all need to check out the kids section.”
The £34 co-ord wasn’t the only M&S item that Helena was obsessed with though.
She later revealed in her TikTok that she’d also found a stunning white maxi skirt in her local store – for just £16.
Like the other items she’d found, the Pure Cotton Elasticated Waist Skirt was made from super soft and breathable cotton.
Ideal for the summer, the A-Line skirt is tiered for a ‘floaty look’ and has a regular fit – according to the product description.
It also has an elasticated waistband so is super comfortable to wear throughout the day, despite being in the kids section.
Before you race to the checkout though, it is wore noting that some sizes of the clothes have already begun to sell out online.
This means you’ll have to visit your local M&S to bag these fashion finds, especially as we don’t think they’ll stay on shelves for long.
Who knew kids’ clothing was this good, eh?
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
