M& S, said he overestimated the demand for tight-fitting men's clothing in the run-up to Christmas.

As a result of The High Street retailer said he had ordered more "normal" and "relaxed fit" clothing for the spring.

M& S boss, Steve Rowe , said "disappointing" questions, such as the excess of skinny men's clothing, kept the company of a stronger performance over Christmas.

the Weak sales were in clothing and household offset by higher food sales.

Too much food

But Mr Rowe said M& S has problems with the "waste and supply chain" in its food division over Christmas.

Richard Lim , head of the consulting firm Retail Economics, said M& S could be signs of a recovery after what was a difficult year for the company, which is in September.
