Whether hunting down a stand-out piece, or simply replacing worn-out staples, our editors rely on two brands every time. Of course, I'm talking about H&M and Zara. High design at low prices are promised by both, and with constant additions to their new-in sections, anytime is a good time to scroll their recent arrivals. And to save you time I've done the hard work for you.
Recently I put aside an afternoon to deep-dive into these high-street retailers to find hidden gems, and boy, did I find them. Slick tailoring to fulfil your minimalist dreams, stand-out styles that will have you making plans just to show them off, and plenty of last minute summer pieces to snap up before your next trip. Whatever you're looking for, it's probably on this list.
Keep scrolling to check out all the picks that I think just might pique your interest.
