I'm Calling It—This Is the Most Expensive-Looking Spring Collection on the High Street Right Now
& Other Stories' new collection has arrived, and I've found the sleekest buys for spring 2026.
At last, the warmer days have broken through the winter chill and our surroundings are flooded with colour from blooming flowers and bright sunshine. In turn, our wardrobes have shifted gear for the seasonal switchover and having noticed that my spring wardrobe is lacking, I looked for inspiration in one store that always gets it right, & Other Stories.

My goal for updating my wardrobe is two-fold. On the one hand, I’m ready for a dose of newness to revitalise my looks, whilst still wanting a touch of timelessness to ensure my new additions will hold their place in my wardrobe. That’s why & Other Stories was front of mind today as I strolled along the high street to test in real time the spring offerings, and share the very best pieces with you.

The spring collection is truly my favourite to date. & Other Stories has an innate way of bringing together elegance with contemporary trends, joyful shades that can go the distance, and revitalising classics with interesting silhouettes. That’s exactly what has been served up for spring 2026, with a series of sleek dresses, vibrant prints, pretty blouses and trusty jackets that balance longevity and current trends in perfect harmony. To get a feel for the collection, I headed in-store and, as always, found myself spending hours in and out of the changing rooms. Without knowing, I’d compiled a spring capsule wardrobe that I can mix and match throughout the season, and will want to come back to year after year. Now, as the best high street pieces tend to move fast, let’s get straight to the best spring buys at & Other Stories.
