Fit and flare dresses are having a moment, and no-one will believe that this is from a high-street store (so let's just keep that between us).
Another week and another outstanding suede tote, and I love the pared-back feel of this ARKET shoulder bag. Add an oversized white shirt and wide-leg trouser and voila, your next desk-to-dinner outfit, sorted.
I can't help it, I'm obsessed with barrel-legged denim—and Paper London's Emma jeans top my wish list. From the relaxed fit to the ecru wash, these cool-girl jeans are perfect for spring and summer, and I know you'll love them too.
Simple, stylish, sophisticated. Just add a pair of jeans and a minimalist sandal and you've got a luxe and easy outfit you can wear on rotation until the end of the year.
Calling all Birkenstock fans—now you've fallen for the Boston clog, may I introduce you to the shearling Milano, a comfy sandal with a polished finish. A laidback weekend in a shoe.
I can't get enough of longline shorts right now, and I can't stop thinking about the myriad of outfits that would benefit from this leather pair from Reiss Atelier. When it's too warm for leather trousers but too breezy for linen, these are just about as close to perfection as you can get.
Designer sunnies that'll up the cool factor of any look? Sign me up.
Just when I thought I'd seen all of the best trench coats that the high street has to offer, this & Other Stories number came up in my feed. I'm convinced that this is the key to putting together chic outfits in an instant.
FARFETCH's exclusive edit with ERDEM has landed, giving shoppers access to the fashion house’s Spring Summer ’24 collection as well as an additional five looks from the collection exclusively via FARFETCH. My favourite piece? This floral midi skirt that I'd wear with a white tee and slingbacks (oh, and the matching jacket).

It's finally trench coat season again! The Frankie Shop's glossy, faux leather trench is a sleek update on the perennial classic, and will go with just about anything in your wardrobe.
Hear me out—it might not be 30 degrees quite yet, but I'm a firm believer that a pair of long shorts can actually bridge the gap between heavy, tailored trousers and summer dresses.
I am obsessed with this shade of red, and it looks just as good worn head-to-toe as it would with a white tee and flats.
Consider this your sign to book your next trip. If anything deserves a spot in your suitcase, it's this.
I get so many compliments on my old J&M Davidson bag that as soon as I saw this land in the new-in section, it immediately went straight to the top of my wish list.
Run, don't walk, Manu Atelier's latest drop of shoes and bags is outstanding, and although it's hard to pick a favourite, there's something about this luxe, chocolate suede that tells me that these might be a bestseller.
If you were wondering how to style a statement colour like hot red, take notes on the above perfect styling from Zara. This look is a lesson in how to make something like satin trousers work for daytime too.
Haven't checked out Topshop lately? You'll find plenty of pieces like this that look far more expensive than their price tag.
There's no better instant outfit than an easy co-ord, and people will be so surprised when they find out this knit jumper and skirt are from H&M.
If this isn't enough to tempt you away from the same old black leather, nothing else will be. Consider this the secret to making all of your spring outfits look more expensive.
I'm convinced that knit dresses have been chic since they were first invented, but now there are even more styles to choose from, this understated piece is one of the best on the market.
Forget what you know about the casual work jacket, this elegant, lightweight number looks impeccably polished.
Ever since we spotted this bestselling tee in the new-in section, it's been a hot topic of conversation in our editors group chat.
Until the temperatures rise, Good American's latest drop of all-weather denim is exceptional this season. These high waisted, loose-leg, 90s fit jeans might just be my favourite new style. Just add a tank top and trainers.
The colour.. The texture. The midaxi length. This dress has got "bestseller" written all over it.
I refresh the Missoma homepage weekly looking for new pieces just like this. Should you be looking for the easiest way to dress up a white tee or a crisp shirt, you just found it.
There are a lot of ballet flats on the market, but ARKET really do make some of the best.
Not all outerwear is created equal, and this ultra-chic, cashmere jacket from Celine is hand-crafted to perfection. Exactly what you need to dress up a white t-shirt and jeans.
Work, dinner, parties—whatever your plans, this dress does it all, and for under £30. (Not that anyone would believe that).
Stop what you're doing, there's a new crossbody in town, but this bestseller in the making comes courtesy of Toteme.
Another week, another pair of jeans that I'm convinced your wardrobe will thank you for,
Everything from the hook and eye detailing to the flared sleeves take this refined knit from good to great.
I know what you're thinking, but yes this is from Zara, and yes, that really is the price.
Just when you thought co-ords couldn't get any better, this cream two piece is the key to getting ready in five minutes, but looking you took your time.
There's a new silhouette from Jimmy Choo to mark the start of spring, and if the drop heel court shoe doesn't tickle your fancy, the slingback most definitely will. Prepare to see this everywhere courtesy of the street style set.
This is not a drill! Aligne's sought after waistcoat is back in stock, so get it while you can. Well, it's either that or waiting for the blazer version to come back too.
This week I've been asked 3 times where to find a quality black maxi skirt—I'm happy to say, I have the answer.
Anthropologie's bestselling Melie Bianco bag is back, sized up, and in even more colours, so all you have to do is decide between sage green, olive green, buttermilk yellow, brown, black and taupe. Decisions, decisions...
We called it, cuffed jeans are everywhere right now—but this perfect, inky wash makes these some of my favourite on the market.
What do you get when you mix premium ecru denim and With Nothing Underneath's exceptional tailoring? The shirt of the season, of course. Wear with blue jeans, white jeans, tailoring, in fact, just about anything.
Fisherman sandals are an unsung transitional hero. Wear now with socks and jeans, and through summer barefoot with light dresses and skirts.
From weekend walks to the daily commute, this versatile jacket does it all.
Just when we thought we'd seen all of the best tear drop earrings on the market, COS has entered the chat, and you really can't argue with that price.
Our editor's favourite Toteme bag is back in a chic new colourway. Expect to see much more of this during fashion month.
If this shade of bitter chocolate wasn't enough to convince you just how expensive this skirt looks, just wait until you try it with a knee-high boot.
Haven't already heard of Atelier Ninety Five? After word of this sleek bomber jacket gets out, it'll be big news. Just remember, you heard it here first.
You can't go wrong with an LBD (that's a long black dress) and slips don't get enough credit for being a true wardrobe staple.
Didn't manage to get your hands on The Row's sought after Margaux? Here's another suede top handle that might tickle your fancy, and at less than half the price.
If the mild weather over the last week is anything to go by, we're heading straight into trench coat season. This perfectly executed coat from ARKET is the kind of coat you can buy now and wear for years to come, making it one sound investment.
I get excited every time I come across an understated, elegant boot, and Topshop's new Tara mid-heels are currently top of my wish list.
It doesn't get better than Loewe's brand new It bag in the making—the pebble. Expect to see much more of this bag (especially in the mini version) this fashion month.
We already know that Reformation make beautiful dresses and killer accessories, but if you haven't tried their denim, consider these jeans the perfect introduction.
Is too early to talk spring dresses? My wardrobe might still be knitwear and jeans, but mentally I'm shopping Matteau's latest drop of warm-weather dresses. Wear for weekends in the city and pack for your next getaway.

The fashion crowd aren't ready to give up on luxe crewneck knits just yet, and I love this shade of biscuity greige from Navygrey.
It looks like we're in for a chilly spring, so I'll be reverting back to the cosiest shoe on the market—shearling Birkenstock mules—for the foreseeable.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit just how many stripe jumpers I've added to my wish list, but now I've found this green number from COS, I'm prepared to fully commit.
This season's biggest denim trend is none other than a styling shortcut—the turned-up cuff. Expect to see these all over your Instagram feed soon.
What happens when you take Been London's luxury recycled leather bags and add Aligne's chic eye for design? Answer: the best thing to happen to our wardrobes since, well, Aligne's waistcoats and matching trousers.This brand new collab compromises of three understated and buttery soft bag styles in multiple colourways, but my favourite is without a doubt the Wellesley crossbody sling. Now to choose between the tan, white or black...
Cool, colourful, and undoubtedly comfortable, Adidas' SL72 trainers are a lesson in elevating the everyday. Sorry white trainers, we're ready to shake up our look in 2024.
Still on the hunt for a roomy tote bag? Me too, but Métier's sumptuous chocolate brown suede is currently top of my list for style and substance.
Ever since we spotted this in ARKET's new-in section, it's been a hot topic of conversation in our editors group chat.
I haven't stopped thinking about these cute t-bar sandal-stroke-pumps since I first saw them. Wear them now with socks and jeans, and barefoot and fancy-free come spring.
Is it too soon to start talking about pretty dresses? The colour and the fit of this adorable piece instantly caught my eye, and it's the kind of style that would suit every body.
Trends may come and go, but we can all agree that a fluffy knit always looks expensive, and Almada's cashmere sweater will look just as beautiful with jeans and trainers as it would with a satin skirt and slingbacks.
Just when you think your wardrobe is finally complete, you come across an easy throw-on-and-go cardigan and suddenly your getting ready time is cut in half.
Everything about this look is worth screenshotting for later, but the real highlight is these perfectly cut wide-leg trousers. (For that price, it's worth buying them in the cream colourway too).
This COS scarf coat has managed to do the impossible in making the classic trench even better. Consider this the perfect lightweight layer for the winter/spring transition.
Another week, another outstanding H&M jumper, but this time they've got "quiet luxury" down to a T. Wear with everything from jeans and satin skirts.
Nail desk-to-dinner styling with these perfectly proportioned wide-leg trousers (and if you haven't already checked out Banana Republic's UK offerings, consider these the perfect introduction).
As soon as I saw this beautiful buttermilk yellow blazer, I had to share it with the rest of the Who What Wear team. I don't think I've been this excited about a jacket since my winter shearling.
As it gets milder there's no need to contend with bulky scarves, and Rise and Fall's cashmere bandana looks so chic over jumpers, and knotted loosely over a tailored wool coat.
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for sunshine and blue skies. After searching high and low for the perfect sleeved dress, I think I've found it in Rixo's easy floral number, and it'll look just as good with spring sandals in a couple of months time as it does now with a sensible knee-high boot.
Stop what you're doing immediately, these Marks and Spencer designer dupes deserve your full attention.
One of 2023's biggest It bags is back and now in a luxe suede fabrication. Decisions, decisions...
I saw Emma Roberts in this fluffy collared knit, and now I need this fluffy collared knit. The easy way to dress up denim this season.
I've been waiting for what feels like a year for the news, and its finally happened. H&M have dropped a new tailored, wide-leg trouser and they look just as good as the OG pair that team Who What Wear fell in love with. Be prepared to act fast though, they're likely sell out as quickly as their predecessor.
