I Selected the Best Autumn-Ready Buys From & Other Stories, Arket and Zara

We really are spoilt when it comes to high-street fashion here in the UK. Every season, whatever your budget, you know you can find pieces that will tug on your heartstrings without breaking the bank. There has also been a push over the last few seasons for the high-street to create designs that don't just cater to transient trends but rather offer longevity and timeless style. This is certainly the case for autumn/winter 2021, and with the first few signs of the new season appearing in stores, I can tell you now that it's going to be a good one. 

& Other Stories, Arket and Zara, in particular, have pushed the boat out this year with expensive-looking autumn-ready pieces. Premium-feel fabrics and sculptural silhouettes seem to be the name of the game for 2021, as do classic, muted colourways. We want to make sure, however, that we're only buying items that we really need and love, so we recommend doing a bit of an inventory of your wardrobe before you "add to basket."

If you're a little tight for cash at the moment, why not use the below list as a way of editing your pre-existing wardrobe? Dredge up those flares, go hell for leather, and style up your fave shirt dress with a chunky chain. However, if you're looking for something to fill in some gaps, then we've got your back.
