Our go-to fashion high-street shop, Marks & Spencer has revealed that sequins and metallics is set to be the hottest trend this summer, and will add that touch of coastal shimmer to your holiday capsule wardrobe this year.

Now if you think sequins and shimmery clothing tends to be reserved for the festive season, think again, because a touch of glitz will immediately jazz up any of your favourite basics this season.

To give you the ultimate inspiration, M&S shared on its instagram page the latest trend and how to style some of its shimmery pieces this season. And fear not, they're not full sequins looks.

Although, the stand-out sequin t-shirt is currently out of stock (coming back soon), we think teamed with a relaxed pair of jeans and white trainers, it's the perfect casual evening summer look this year.

A wonderful metallic alternative they've also showed in the styling video was the pure cotton grey metallic t-shirt, which is available in sizes 6-24.

Perfect for everyday wear, we think this top would look great teamed with your favourite linen trousers and chunky sandals this summer.

By adding metallics to your existing summer wardrobe, it will instantly give your staple summer pieces a refresh and allow to you to embrace the current spin on the early 2000s fashion trend.

However, the item that has stole the show for us is M&S' Sequin maxi slip skirt in a baby blue hue.

While gold is one of the most obvious colours to wear in the summer, this shade of blue is giving coastal chic and would be the perfect holiday evening look.

Available in petite, regular and long, this slip skirt is not only comfortable with its elasticated waistband, but it's also a fun way to sport the sequin trend this summer.

Simply style with a white t-shirt and white sandals for a relaxed city break outfit, or team with a white shirt or a cami and a denim jacket and white heels for a sophisticated date night look.

Although, we can't forget sparkly accessories too, they're an easy way to elevate any outfit-and M&S have a wonderful array of the glittery shoes, heels and handbags to choose from here:

Embrace the glitter this summer.
