Remember the first time Bella Freud teamed up with high street stalwart M&S this time last year? The 'Honey' slogan jumper was impossible to get your hands on, and I missed out on the 'Divine Feminine' one, too.
This time, I was ready and waiting with my credit, refreshing the British clothing brand's website until collection number two dropped, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
In addition to some of the best cashmere jumpers for the season, there's a beautiful pure wool coat, some adorable pyjamas and the perfect pair of wide leg jeans. Considering the Bella Freud trouser suit that the Princess of Wales recently wore cost a whopping £1,370, I'd say £55 for jeans and £120 for the perfect party-ready velvet trousers is pretty amazing.

Available in UK 6 to 24, and short, regular or long lengths, M&S jeans are seriously impressive when it comes to size options. These boast a high-rise waist, flattering wide leg silhouette and 1% elastane to give them a bit of stretch. They get full marks from me for sure!
If your winter wardrobe is just black, grey and navy on repeat, this is a great way to incorporate some of the autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025. Bella Freud is famous for her fun slogan knits, so this is bound to fly off the shelves.
It might not feel cold enough for a wool winter coat just yet, but the chilly temperatures are sure to creep up on us all. With a belted waist and smart double-breasted design, this will keep even your most casual outfits looking sharp.
These are top of my shopping list. They're also available in red, and they're the kind of little luxury that just makes the winter months so much easier to navigate.
I love the messages behind Bella Freud's knit. This one says "Kind!" and in either pale grey or conker brown, I guarantee you'll wear it most days in the next few months. Everyone will instantly recognise it, too!
Claudia Winkleman recently wore a Bella Freud blouse to host Strictly Come Dancing, and this has a similar feel to it with its detachable silk neck tie. The ivory version has already sold out, but the black is really sleek for party season.
Another great colour pop piece, this jumper is 100% cashmere, but it's also machine washable. Genius!
With a leg-elongating side-stripe, these textured trousers, along with the matching suit jacket, are selling out as we speak.
My favourite piece of the whole lot has to be the candy pink 'Wham Bam' cashmere knit, closely followed by the cashmere cable knit socks. Perfect for wearing with Birkenstock Boston clogs or just at home with your pyjamas. If anyone's super organised, they'd make a great Christmas present...
