Marks and Spencer shoppers 'obsessed' with navy blue leopard print suit they 'need'

Marks and Spencer shoppers are besotted with a navy blue leopard print suit after spotting it online.

Famed British retailer Marks and Spencer boasts an army of fans, keen to snap up its extensive array of household groceries, and its on-trend clothing, accessories, homeware, beauty supplies, furniture and more. The high street retailer, which was founded in 1884, maintains a connection with shoppers through a variety of social media pages dedicated to showcasing all the latest stock and product drops.

The store has millions of followers across its multiple social media profiles, while many of its staff members, dubbed 'M&S insiders', operate channels of their own, too. One such "insider", Sam Briones, caused a stir after sharing an Instagram Reel of herself modelling the company's Velvet Animal Print Ruched Sleeve Blazer (£69) and its matching Velvet Animal Print Wide Leg Trousers (£39.50).

Captioning the footage, Sam said: "This suit is 100% right up my street! I've been taking a look at party outfits and I posted this online. I've styled it with platform boots, studded leather bag and headband. We all love animal print and I think it's great in this colour way. Wearing the wide leg trousers in the regular leg length here to accommodate height of the platform heel. I'm ready to party."

The suit comes in a loose, relaxed fit in deep blue velvet fabric, with an all over animal print design. It's available in sizes 6 to 24, and can be styled with heels for a dressier look, or with trainers for a more casual approach.

It was a big hit among fashion loving Instagram users, who rushed to Sam's comments section to share their thoughts. Alice said: "Love".

Lauren said: "Love it!!" Diana was disappointed to be unable to snap the suit up: "I tried to buy this the other day but unfortunately you have sold out of my size."

Another shopper commented: "Adds to basket …." And another said: "Omg I'm OBSESSED! This is stunning", while fan Phoebe added: "NEED. This is soooo gorgeous".
