I'm Looking For Expensive-Looking Winter Buys—21 H&M, Zara and Mango Pieces You Need to See
H&M, Zara and Mango have dropped their winter collections, and I've handpicked the most elevated buys.
I can't quite believe that winter is upon us, and whilst I had previously hoped the cold weather wouldn't arrive, the new-in collections have changed my mind. Now, I'm excited to start layering up knitwear, playing with contrast through soft knits and sharp tailoring, and completing my looks with the most elevated outerwear. Readying myself for the new season, I've identified a few gaps in my wardrobe that need to be filled, and with sophistication at the front of my mind, I've turned to three brands that always get it right: H&M, Mango and Zara.
Always one step ahead, this trifecta of high street heroes has already launched their winter collections, and with a few swift scrolls, I quickly began filling up my wish list with the most elevated buys. Together, the three brands are focusing this season's buys on sleek designs, timeless silhouettes and high-end looking designs whilst retaining their affordable appeal.
From knitwear to outerwear and shoes to handbags, this is a refined edit of the very best winter pieces from H&M, Zara and Mango. You'll find classic neutrals ready to blend in with your timeless favourites or bolster bolder prints, whilst soft knits are primed to take on the chill and maintain a polished edge. Of course, there's also some stellar footwear in the mix to ensure we put our best foot forward over the coming months.
Whilst each brand has its own feel for its winter collections, they all have a focus on quality and elegance this season. Look to the sumptuous cashmere at Zara, the sharp pleating of Mango's tailored trousers or the cosy offerings at H&M, and you'll see that the pieces below are as considered as they are timeless.
To save you time, patience and scrolling, here are the 21 best winter buys from Zara, Mango and H&M.
