33 Pieces I Love From & Other Stories, H&M and COS

Brighter mornings! Longer days! Rising temperatures! Spring is officially here, and we're pretty excited about it. Finally, it feels like winter is melting away (aside, apparently, from the odd bit of sleet), and things are looking up. And it seems the high-street also shares our excitement. Over the last few days, we've seen the new-in offerings at our favourite online shopping destinations take a springlike turn. 

Now, while we pride ourselves on not favouring one brand over another, we think it's fair to say that some stores have nailed spring 2021's aesthetic, with many of our favourite items coming from three places in particular: H&M, COS and & Other Stories.

With a host of chic treats boasting the most beautiful colour palette imaginable, we've whittled down the top 11 items below for your shopping pleasure. Keep scrolling, and make sure you're fully prepped for spring.
