For once I saw that Marks & Spencers was without a 70% sale notice! I don't know what's wrong with this brand but in the last couple of years I have always seen the stores empty even during heavy sale. Since I was always told that this was a super premium I avoided entering the store during my college days. But when I finally entered one, I wasn't too impressed I must say. Everything was expensive but very ordinary.
But the Summer Collection for 2011 seems to be different and worth a mention! Here's my review.
Casual Tops:
They have some summer prints and some plane ones, but the style remains old - round neck, fluffy sleeves. No novelty factor.
Casual Bottoms:
They have a pretty good variety here! You will find shorts, linen capris, denim capris, cotton trousers and capris; many shades and styles, perfect for summer.
Price Range: Rs 895-Rs 1495. Pretty reasonable.
Formal Tops:
Usual stuff, nothing out of this world.
Formal Bottoms:
Don't know if M&S focusses more the lowers, because they have some nice stuff here as well.
Different fits for trousers, some skirts too.
Price Range: Rs 995-Rs 1895. Not bad.
Overall rating: 3/5: Nothing out of the world, but no harm checking out once!
1: Don't waste your time
2: Okay! Could find something if you're lucky
3: Certainly worth taking a look
4: Pretty good, must check out
5: Fabulous, Don't wait!

Also, they had some clutches (shown here) for Rs 500. That I think is pretty cool.
Here are some pictures from their new collection.
