27 Chic Summer Shopping Picks From H&M, & Other Stories and Topshop
Not a day goes by where Who What Wear's editors don't WhatsApp, email or Slack each other pieces they're contemplating buying. It doesn't matter if it’s high end or high street—every price point is given the same consideration. Lately, though, our favourite finds tend to be of the affordable variety. Looking back on our most recent conversations, it's apparent that many of the items currently on our wish lists can be found in one of three stores: H&M, Topshop or & Other Stories.

Summer 2019 has proven to be one of the strongest seasons we've seen on the high street in a long while, and H&M, & Other Stories and Topshop are no exception. With pleasingly cohesive colour palettes, a gorgeous array of dresses, excellent accessories and strong separates, these brands have everything you need to see out the next few months in serious style.
Marisa's Topshop sandals have been incredibly popular and we're hoping they come back in stock soon…
To save you precious time, we've whittled down the nine best items you need to see from each store. Happy shopping!
