Last summer, when Mango launched its premiere line selection, I was all over it. Wool miniskirts with matching menswear-inspired coats, chrome-toe pumps, waistcoat suits, and more—the collection included everything I wanted to buy at the time, and though the price tag was slightly higher than Mango's standard range, the pieces had the quality to back them up. Now, just in time for spring, the Spanish brand's gone and done it all over again.
Selection's second collection arrived early this week and is already showing signs of one-upping the first. Those Miu Miu–inspired knee-length, low-rise, pleated skirts that everyone and their sister are scouring the internet for? They're in there. Metallic accessories, including a $100 pair of Mary Jane ballet flats? They're in there. Sheer lace, chunky silver jewelry, floor-length slips, and super-strappy heels all, too, made the cut. In fewer words, for the second time in a row, Mango's dropped an offering full of all the pieces I want at the moment. And I get the feeling that I'm not the only one.
