Thanks to Holly Willoughby's Marks & Spencer edit, there are loads of cute and affordable items we are ready to add to our autumn/winter wardrobes this year. And top of the list is one dress in particular, that has also been spotted all over our Instagram feeds.

BUY NOW Animal Print Long Sleeve Skater Midi Dress, £69, Marks & Spencer

The cute 'silky-feeling' dress is in a flattering mustard colour and features this season's must-have animal print reinvented in a new and interesting way. Plus, it's only £69, which is good value for a high quality, statement dress you could wear to most occasions.

Other details such as the subtle, bishop cuffed sleeves and chic neck tie make it stand out from the rest, which is probably why everyone on Instagram is wearing it. Here's proof:

Going out! Wearing the M&S dress that’s so good everyone has already worn it! I’m teaming it with a velvet jacket in exactly the same colour. I suppose it’s just a way of saying you don’t need to stick to black or neutrals if you’re doing a top to toe look. One bright colour, in a mixture of fabrics or textures, also works. I’m wearing burgundy sandals because that picks up on the print in the dress - might also add burgundy tights, because it is Baltic tonight! PS thanks to everyone who spotted my hall on George Clarke’s Old House New House last night and messaged me! 😉 CREDITS: Dress, M&S (paid with a gift voucher c/o M&S, as part of my monthly paid partnership with them) | Blazer, Boden | Earrings, Finery | Sandals, Arket ✨

Happy Wednesday instaworld! I can’t believe I’m actually wearing a dress that’s on the top of all the fashion editors it-lists right now!! I’m never that person... I’m often the last to see it, get hold of it, find it. This insta famous little beaut (yes the one on the cover of Grazia right now) is an absolute gem and the best news is, it’s totally affordable and is from our lovely @marksandspencer Its an absolute classic, the colour is bright but still perfect for winter, you can style it with long boots and a huge coat and still look chic. This is the second of my two chosen outfits for my paid partnership. Since the day my mum took me to Marks and Spencer’s when I was 7 to buy my first patent school shoes that I loved more than anything (I felt like the bees knees in them!!), to my first suit (navy) for my first job, I have some real sartorial milestones there!!! ... I have always had a huge love for M&S, so I feel very proud to represent them in this stunning dress. 💛😊💛 I’ve links it on stories now. Have a fab day💋 . . . . . . #hollysmusthaves #mymarks #ad #fashioninspo #outfitinspo #fblogger #mystyle

My inner Margo was making herself known today... Alice band, silk pussy bow dress -she was coming out in force 🤣🤣 Yes this is the same band that I wrapped 80 roses round for my Day of the Dead outfit last weekend where I was very smug in finding a headband that didn’t make me feel like my head was in a vice after 15mins. It appears, alas, that the roses helped to stretch the band and sans floral appendages, we’re back to hair accessories which could be used at Guantanamo. HOLY HELL why don’t they make them just slightly less forceps on the head like? Or do they not hurt anyone else and I just have a head the size of the Goodyear blimp? I’m just going to have to go with Frida Khalo stylee aren’t I! Or if anyone has a pointer on one that doesn’t make me want to mainline painkillers? I’m assuming it’s not going to cost £8 from @pullandbear (which is where my painful beauty is from) 🤣🤣🤣 oh and yes there is ACTUAL mud on my @grensonshoes Nanettes! I used the hiking boots for something ACTUALLY outdoorsy!! I will admit I didn’t know it was going to be that muddy at football a couple of weeks ago and I did very nearly weep... and forgot to clean them 😳😳😩🤣🤣#ootd #wiwt Dress @marksandspencer (current) - Trench @acnestudios @harrods (sale ss17) - Boots @grensonshoes @collenandclare (aw17) - Bag @hillandfriends (gift 2yrs ago) 📷 @amothersedit

My face when I remember I have a long weekend off - FROM ALL JOBS 🙌🏼 Heading down to Dublin on Saturday to see one of my favourite bands @parquetcourts & have one of my favourite meals YAY. I never have ‘that Friday feeling’ so I’m very smug right now 💫

The dress & I went out for lunch today - Other people were there too! Including the rather fab William Morris @hm dress 😂😉 I’ve layered my ray of sunshine with cashmere polo neck which was a great investment this season as I’ve wore it loads. Debated black boots but thought the leopard print clash was more me! Friday fun. Have a great weekend & thank you for all the lovely messages yesterday about the girl x Dress - current Knit - current Boots - old (frequently reheeled thanks to the cobbled streets of Stamford! 🙄) #wiawt #whatiwore #whatiworetoday #lunchdate #outfitinspo #styleinspo #yellowdress #fridayfeels #mystyles #midlandsblogger #fblogger #igstyle #mumstyle #petitestyle #petitefashion #styleover40 #over40style #instamum #everydaystyle #fashtagfriday @shellandthelittlies @finlay_fox @gingermumstyle

Well...M&S have certainly brought their A game this winter. A great new collection and as always, competitively priced 👌🏽. Last week I picked up a fab pair of grey/ black leopard print boots ( seen in the picture) along with a soft, cream velvet roll neck. A simple but great outfit with jeans. They have worked this seasons colour board perfectly, with lashings of lilac from mohair coats to chunky sweaters plus a great selection of cords to wear with their sexy Charlie’s Angel blouses. But just look what they have done with colour of the moment, Yellow. This beautiful, silky dress also gives a cool nod to the 70’s with its long neck tie and is fab for a special lunch. I will make this dress feel a little edgier by wearing with a studded belt, nipping it nicely at the waist and wearing with boots. ❤️ #styleideas #personalshopper #londonstylist #marksandspencer #silkmididress #yellowdress #mustardyellow #mustardyellowdress #mididress #affordablestyle #winterstyleideas #stylistpicks #fashion #style #dressingforlunch

The great news is that if even if you can't get your hands on the dress, Marks & Spencer has also created separates in the way of a silky skirt and shirt so you can get the look that way, too!
