It's My Job to Find Amazing Shopping Picks—These 9 New Buys Are Too Good to Miss

I'm a sucker for a little bit of faux fur, and this & Other Stories jacket is perfect for cosy weekends, a chilly commute and everything in between.

Rixo have teamed up with CLÒIMH on a limited edition collection of wool accessories designed to keep you warm while looking cool, and the best part? Each piece is 100% merino wool, and proudly made in Scotland at a female-founded factory. 

I have a feeling that once the word gets out about these Marks and Spencer pumps, they're going to be very popular indeed. There's no need to join waitlists and drop four figures on a leather ballet flat when they can look this good for under £45.

Is anyone else counting down to party season thanks to the opera dressing trend? You might not able to get full wear out of cocktail bags and elbow gloves on your average weekday, but this kimono would look just as good with jeans as it would with an LBD and heels.

Repeat after me: "I will no longer waste money on ill-fitting denim for as long as AGOLDE's straight-leg jeans exist".

After seeing this IRL I can confirm, not only is this a beautiful shade of blue, but it's also so delicately crafted that it could easily pass for designer. Let's just keep the price between us...

Oversized blazers are a classic, but right now fitted, high-neck jackets are having a moment. This check wool blazer from By Malene Birger will go with all of your denim, tailored trousers, mini skirts and knitwear outfits this winter. You're welcome.

You've nearly made it to the end of the year, so how about a treat from you, to you? I think you've earned it.

Allow me to make getting ready in the morning that much easier. Instead of wondering what to pair with what, Rails' cosy co-ord looks immaculate with a polished knee-high boot and longline coat.

Looking for a quick way to elevate blue jeans? You just found it. Bravo, Zara, we will never tire of statement knitwear.

And speaking of great seasonal styles, if I had to choose one more outstanding coat to show you this week, I think you'll love Monki's deer print car coat. When everyone else is wearing leopard, this will stand out from the crowd for all of the right reasons.

The collar! The cut! This belted wool coat is the kind of chic piece you can throw on and sweep around in during cold spells, but I won't be waiting for freezing temperatures to wear it with fine knits and wide-leg trousers.

Sure, black boots are synonymous with winter, but I've never seen a tan boot that didn't look incredible with knits and jeans The fitted silhouette, the wearable heel and of course the luxurious suede put these Dear Frances boots high on my list of must-see styles on the market right now. You're welcome.

Simple, but undeniably effective, the White Company's cashmere crew neck is the perfect foundation for 100 different styling possibilities, but it also looks just as good pared-back and worn with white jeans and a pair of leather flats.

It's simply too chilly to consider any other shoe than closed toes right now, but party season sandals can wait—these aren't the perfect, elegant style for dressing up everything from denim to dresses without compromising on comfort.

Whether you're outfit planning for the week or counting down to the weekend, no one will believe that this impressive shirt was from the high street. The attention to detail alone makes it look designer.

ICYMI, fashion insiders are suddenly buying COS bags in droves (just think of the success of the Trullo), and I have a feeling that this mid-sized, everyday bag is going to be very popular on socials this season and beyond too.

And speaking of cool, off-duty outfits, this Sporty & Rich cap is the elevated accessory you can count on with just about any look. If you aren't on board with balaclavas or beanie hats for winter, this is the easiest way to introduce a little practical polish into your look.

If you haven't already done so, consider this your sign to lean into an opulent autumn with this season's hero, the tapestry coat. While there are lots of beautiful robe coats on the market, I can almost guarantee that they weren't designed with chilly winds in mind, so here is Topshop's jacquard jacket for a fashion fix that is functional too.

Looking for something more substantial? After seeing Sézane's Matthias Coat IRL, I'm convinced that it's going to be another bestseller from the brand. Strokably soft wool, three elegant colourways, and of course, that charming scarf detail. This is how to winter coats like the French.

Burgundy bags are everywhere this season, but the Bar Holdall’s deep-merlot biker leather makes this iteration feel especially luxurious.

After branching out into more of a ready to wear offering, lingerie and loungewear brand Ysé have come up with this clever little cardigan hybrid that could be worn at home with relaxed trousers or outside with straight leg jeans and loafers. Either way, you'll be mastering cosy-chic.

I'm not sure whether its that rich shade of red, the velvet, the ruching or that perfect heel height, but these shoes are the antidote to a grey end to the year.

The runways would suggest that we're about to enter an "anti-trousers" era, and with so many excellent skirt trends emerging, it's easy to see why. Top of my list? Understated kilts that pair perfectly with knee high boots and cashmere knits.

I mean, really? Need I say more? Just when I'd stopped thinking about Khaite's tiger print boots (and yes, I realise it's been 7 years), along comes the Blake bag to occupy my mind all over again. Could Christmas come a little sooner, please?

I could have dedicated this column to coats alone, but this Zara beauty might be the last one you need to see this week. Wear with the leather facing out for a glossy finish, or reverse for cuddly faux fur. Top marks for this designer-coded coat at under £90.

American brand Quince have officially crossed the Atlantic, and if you were wondering what all of the fuss is about, you can expect premium quality pieces (the cashmere knitwear especially) at an affordable price that won't break the bank.

TBCo and content creator @Liullland are the dream pairing we didn't know we needed, and the two have collaborated on a joyous collection of 7 playful knits and accessories guaranteed to invite compliments.

Yes, Jimmy Choo are experts in incredible footwear, but the latest colours of the Cinch prove that their handbag offering is just as noteworthy.

Uniqlo X JW Anderson is back for another year, and my favourite piece in the collection is this check flannel shirt to size up and tie around my waist. Or wear open over a long sleeve and jeans. Or loosely button and tuck into a column skirt... The possibilities are endless.

It might be simple, but this layering trick is still sticking around for another season, so now is a good time to pick up H&M's £13 top. Yes, that's right, it really is only £13, and did I mention it comes in four different colours?

I'll admit it, I've been counting down for weather cold enough to wear a cosy knit and coat, and now it's finally here, J.Crew's Fair Isle jumper tucked into a pair of black jeans is exactly the kind of outfit I'll be wearing on repeat.

If you don't already own a Na-Kd coat, consider this your sign to invest. Runway inspired design at high street price? You can thank me later.

Mini handbags are having a moment on the runways, but I've noticed the street style set carrying simple, casual tote bags instead. Theres no denying that this pared-back accessory is the antithesis of fashion's maximalist moment, but it also helps that it's a practical, hardworking hero too.

Sandals packed away but not quite ready to commit to boots? These are the happy medium that are sure to invite compliments too. Bravo, Toteme.

Silk trousers aren't just for summer, and if you didn't have a chance to wear them earlier in the year with a tank top and sandals, you can wear them now with a white tee and baggy knit for an easy but elegant off-duty look.

There are a handful of pieces that have earned the right to be considered a true seasonal staple: the knee high boot, the wool coat, the tailored trouser for example, but one item that always makes the list is a classic cream cable knit. Buy one of these now and wear it for a years to come—it really is an ageless wonder.

Whatever coat, cardigan, or jacket you're wearing over the next five months, tie this around your neck for the perfect finish touch to help take your look from good to great.

I can't help it, as soon as I saw this cute cardigan I felt instantly happier, and isn't that what a great shopping pick is supposed to do?

We're officially heading into a bohemian autumn/winter, need further proof? Almost Famous inspired fur trimmed coats are everywhere right now, but Free People always manage to make the look feel less "festival-fancy dress" and more fashion forward.

I love denim as much as the next person, but there's something about the texture of these corduroy-coated jeans that looks unbelievably expensive. Swap out your go-to pair for these and watch the whole look transform in just one move.

And speaking of transformative pieces, The White Company's cocoon coat might be the most luxurious thing I've seen all week. The thought of bundling up in this marshmallow soft shearling is well worth sacrificing summer for.

Not sure what to wear in the ever changing weather? I'm convinced that the perfect combination is a light dress and tall suede boots just like these. Just tie a sweater around your shoulders for when you'll need it later.

What's better than a perfectly crafted zip-up that you can throw on over a white tee and blue jeans? Well, two jumpers of course. Mix and match your bottoms and wear on repeat for effortless ease.

While the runways (and the internet) make a compelling case for the mini bag trend, I'm still loyal to roomy totes that fit my laptop inside. Imagine my joy when I spotted this leather and suede number from Mango, it's designer-coded without having to spend half of your pay check.

Okay, I am willing to share my secret—not one, but two of my most complimented bags have come from the Zara men's section, and this flap bag is next on my list. Not only are they often bigger and more practical, they're also come at a great price, so if you want to look like you spent three figures without breaking the bank, this is a good place to start.

I love that instead of a structured, boxy jacket, Tu made this in a soft cosy knit that you can pull on with jeans and still feel like you made an effort. And for under £30? It doesn't get better than that.

If I could I would turn over my entire winter wardrobe for enough space to collect Queens of Archive coats. You may well remember the Priscilla coat that went viral last year, but 2026's offerings are just as good, and if last year's sales are anything to go by, you're going to want to grab the Francoise before shes gone for good too.

ICYMI well-dressed women everywhere are reaching for laidback Henleys for everyday wear, but Free People have upped the game with an ultra soft cashmere Henley that comes in five equally good colours.

My first stop this Paris Fashion Week was Balzac Paris, a one-stop-shop for the perfect Parisian wardrobe with a little extra je ne sais quoi. You could easily wear this chunky cream knit with just about anything in your A/W rotation, but I'm going to be recreating this exact look as soon as the temperatures drop.

PSA: Abercombie's beloved Sloane trousers are back in a new print, a subtle brown houndstooth that has "autumn" written all over it. Wondering what all the fuss is about? Read Shopping Editor Florrie Alexander's review of the trousers here, and then come back to add to basket.

Getting your hands on The Row's croc loafers is like finding the holy grail, but thankfully COS have this pair of beautiful alternatives that look just as elegant, but at high street price.

Yes that's right! Fuchsia Shaw's smash hit Arden jacket is officially back, and in two new colour ways. If you had joined the waiting list to secure the poppy red or canvas O.Gs but now want something a little more seasonally appropriate, I have a feeling that you're going to love the mulberry or navy ink.

If you do invest in a pair of loafers this autumn, I think that the coolest way to wear them now might just be with a statement sock. Imagine the look—a grey v-neck jumper over a white tee, indigo wash jeans, black leather loafers, and just the slightest hint of a red argyle sock. It'll tell everyone you really put some thought into your outfit.

Until it's officially could enough to wear a winter coat, I'm convinced that this tailored blazer is the perfect autumn jacket. Light, easy and versatile (turn the collar down for a classic blazer, and up and buttoned for an asymmetrical funnel neck), I have a feeling this is going to be very popular.

I have a feeling that this gorgeous print would look amazing on anybody, and a dress like that comes along once in a blue moon.

I collect brown bags like they're going out of fashion (quick note, they aren't), but this DeMellier tote stopped me in my tracks. Classic black shoulder bags are eternally chic, but there's something about this luxurious colourway that feels like you could get away with using it all year long.

After loyally collecting crew necks and V-necks for a lifetime, the latest micro knitwear trend on my radar is the chunky round neck. This little update does a lot of heavy lifting, and many of my favourite jumpers this season are sporting, thick, rolled, scoop neck styles.

Fans of the emerging medallion belt trend will be thrilled to know, you don't have to work out three figures to get the designer look, Zara has mastered it for under £30.

Is it too soon to call "boot season"? Either way, it'll pay to get ahead of the crowd with these Anthropologie knee-highs that could easily be mistaken for designer. Just be prepared for the compliments to start rolling in.

While the rest of the world is still focused on straight leg jeans I'm in my comfy trousers era. Enter Arket's baggy, pocket trouser—looser and freeier than restrictive denim, but still effortlessly cool with pointed toe boots, and until I find a pair of jens comfy enough to rival cargos, these are top of my wish list.

Just when I thought I'd seen every kind of shearling jacket there was on the market, Aligne dropped this cosy number and all of a sudden I'm happy to wait a little bit longer for next spring to come around.

My current work uniform is a bold knit over a white tee, baggy jeans (or tailored trousers) and a pair of pointed, polished flats. Not only am I convinced that it is the easiest and chicest thing to wear right now, but you can also make swaps like switching out your basic top for a cashmere quarter zip to keep things looking really smart.

It might be too soon to utter the C-word (that's Christmas by the way), but in the interest of some early self-gifting, I would remiss not to share that Missoma's sought after advent calendar is under £250, but with a value of £693. I'd say you've earned it.

My personal style can shift from day to day, but a statement handbag will always get a resounding "yes" from me. Classic in design, but bold in colour, the new Mulberry Stevie in this opulent shade of purple couldn’t feel on-trend. Just add a grey knit and blue jeans to let the bag do all of the talking.

Who What Wear Columnist, Editor in Residence and all round arbiter of good taste, Monikh, has dropped a collection of minimalist staples that come together to build the perfect autumn capsule. My favourite piece? These pull on trousers that go perfectly with oversized jumpers and puff sleeve blouses.

After seeing these on the Marks and Spencer runway during London Fashion Week, I immediately committed them to memory to snap up at the next opportunity. As soon as the light hits them, they really come alive, to full dazzling, sparkling effect.

And, speaking of great autumn colours, royal purple is the hue of the moment right now, and I have a feeling that this COS knit is about to be very popular when the word gets out.

From the adjustable waist to that unbelievably good shade of shade of khaki green, there's a lot to love about this oversized utility jacket. Just add straight leg jeans and smart flats for an easy, everyday look that is ready for transitional weather.

You're going to want to zoom in and get a close up of that croc-embossed leather. This is exactly the colour and glossy finish that will earn you so many compliments. Is it enough to trade in your camel trench coat? It's worth having both in my humble opinion.

Looking for a skirt that you can wear on mild autumn days, throughout cold spells, dressed up with knee high boots, kept casual with flat loafers for weekends, and is easy to pair with shirts, blouses, jumpers and tees? Congratulations, you just found it. Thank you, ME + EM.

When a supersized tote is too cumbersome, but a mini bag isn't enough for all of your essentials, this is the perfect everyday bag to elevate all of your outfits. It helps that Louis Vuitton's Flight Mode collection Speedy is as good-looking as it is practical too, though.

While my body is stuck in summer spells, my mind is very much in autumn, and I'm tempted to grab this now to wear with baggy trousers and trainers before it sells out in the coming months. Trust me when I say, Navygrey knits are worth planning ahead for.

I know, it feels too early to talk about scarves, but the type A shoppers among us will ensure that this doesn't stick around for long. Throw on now over a white tee and jeans, and cosy up with a wool coat as soon as winter kicks in.

Don't worry petites, Jigsaw's marvellous maxi coat comes in a shorter, standard length, but for me it's all about the shoe-grazing super maxi that gives designer energy without spending four figures. Eat your heart out, The Row.

It may still look sunny outside, but when the weather can turn on a dime, I like to have a fluffy knit to hand that I can throw on with jeans. This alpaca knit from The White Company is a great V-neck worth buying to layer over tees for the cooler days ahead.

Does it get better than a sensible and sleek tote bag that is dressy enough to feel special but reliable enough for everyday?

It was originally the outfit styling that caught my attention, but when I really stopped to think about it, my wardrobe could only benefit from a pair of camel corduroys for a little extra texture. Just imagine how good these would look with a blue denim jacket too.

As soon as I pack away my sandals, I start looking for a new pair of trainers. Veja have my full attention with these aubergine satin GT's, a luxurious step up from my old white high tops.

Just add a glossy knee high boot for an autumnal look that transitions effortlessly between night and day, and work and weekend.

Versatile, slim fit and rich indigo wash; these Agolde jeans are perfect for autumn, and I'm suddenly pining for weather cold enough to wear these tucked into knee high boots with an oversized cream knit.

Looking for an easy way to elevate your average jeans and tee? Saint Laurent's suede trainers are the elegant choice for practical-meets-polished wear.

Eat your heart out, Phoebe Philo—this is how to channel elevated elegance in one easy high street jacket. Of course it would be COS to nail the brief.

I was so pleased to see this distressed leather tote bag land in Charles & Keith's new-in section after joining the waitlist. I have a feeling it won't hang about for long though, so consider this your warning to sign to act now or have to sign up to notifications.

Every time that there is a new coat drop from Sézane, I stop what I'm doing immediately. This time around the Jonas has my full attention; a perfectly cut, minimalist, camel car coat? Oh, this will go with everything in my wardrobe.

I already own the OG kitten-heel Remy boots in two different colours, and I'm particularly excited to see that not only do they now come in a comfortable flat, but also this incredible snake print too.

Classic crew necks not your thing? I have a feeling you're going to love this soft zip-up. Just add jeans and leather ankle boots for an easy, autumnal, weekend look.

I am once again shocked by the quality vs cost per wear when it comes to The Set, and as someone who has had a pair of satin ballet flats on my wish list for months, I now get to have two for one incredible price.

It takes a lot to pry me away from classic blue jeans, but something tells me that Citizens of Humanity's sandy straight legs will be just as versatile, but with a little more polish.

You've served us well, basket bags, but now that summer is drawing to a close, it's officially suede season. I love the buttery soft leather and slouchy silhouette of this every day bag, perfectly sized to hold all of your essentials without being too much.

As soon as the temperatures drop, you're going to appreciate having a killer styling piece like this Frankie Shop hat in your arsenal.

Henley tops are currently trending, but Rise & Fall's stands out from the crowd thanks to a) this pleasing shade of buttery yellow, and b) it's decadently soft cashmere fabric. Layer over a white tee and jeans and you're sorted.

It's finally happened! With Nothing Underneath are building the capsule wardrobes of our dreams, and having perfected shirts and knits they have moved onto their first denim range including a straight, wide, and cropped flare, so you can find your perfect fit.

Do you ever look at something and just know it's about to be popular? The Frankie Shop are no stranger to viral success, and after seeing this fluffy green jacket and imagining it with just about everything in my wardrobe, I think it's going to be a smash this autumn.

No need for bells and whistles, this is just an ultra-soft, light, brushed knit that can be worn in a multitude of ways. What can I say? Sometimes the best finds aren't the biggest statements, but they are the functional, foundational pieces that you'll wear on repeat for the next decade.

Wear tucked in to jeans, loosely with tailored trousers, open over a vest and slip skirt, underneath a cashmere knit, tied around the waist of a maxi dress...

The technical jacket and cobalt blue trend combine in this perfect summer-to-autumn transitional jacket that you can throw on over just about any look.

ICYMI, Henley tops are having a major moment right now, and Hush have managed to elevate it to luxurious new levels in this soft, brushed cashmere. Wear over a white tee with your favourite jeans, midi skirt or tailored trousers until the weather gets even cooler.

It is too early to commit to a new leather jacket? Even if you don't start wearing it this week, it's the kind of piece that will become a permanent fixture in your wardrobe without falling out of favour.

Ballet trainers are showing no signs of slowing down, and this Onitsuka Tiger pair might be one of the coolest iterations I've seen.

Ever since *that* 3/4 zip that opened the pre-fall '26 Chanel show, I've been thinking about camel sweaters and blue denim, and this just shot straight to the top of my wish list. Thank you, Gap.

From boxy blazers, to funnel necks to frog fastening jackets, we've been treated to a wealth of outerwear trends this year, and Aligne might be right on the money with the next major style—elegant, buttoned-up high necks.

Okay, I'm convinced, this is exactly what I want to wear now. As soon as its a chillier day, I'd wear this with a pair of loafers or ballet flats, and when we're in the throes of autumn, this would look equally good with a knee high boot.

The ludicrously micro bag trend finished as quickly as it came around (let's be honest, we need something big enough to hold more than a lipstick), but they did give us an evening option that wasn't a formal clutch. Enter Veronica Beard's Prism bag—bigger than a micro, smaller than a tote, and just the right size to pop on your shoulder (or carry as a wristlet), for any of your dressier plans.

I'm sorry, don't hate me; it might be a heatwave across the majority of the UK, but I've been eyeing up great jackets. Something tells me that H&M's scarf collar jacket is one worth investing in now and wearing later, as pieces like this don't usually stick around for long.

Brand new and limited edition from DeMellier, the brands iconic, perfectly sized Stockholm now comes in a punchy zebra print calf hair. I have a feeling that this is about to be extremely popular.

I'm nothing if not a bargain hunter, and this 2 pack of tops look far more expensive than their price tag. Size up for a baggier fit and wear with your favourite blue jeans and sandals right now.

I'm a sucker for a roomy top-handle, and this immediately caught my eye. It does also come in chocolate brown and black, but it's the tan that I think will carry you through spring/summer and autumn/winter with ease.

A great shirt is one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe, and COS have perfected the boyfriend silhouette in "does-it-all" stripes. Wear layered up with tailoring, casually with denim, or even tucked into a seasonal mini or shorts. There's nothing this won't look great with.

Simple, sleek and sophisticated—this is the kind of everyday shoulder bag you need in your roster to elevate everything from white tees to distressed denim. Bravo, Katie Loxton, this is how to do affordable and luxurious.

Enough of the conversation being dominated by Adidas vs Nike, Onitsuka Tiger are putting out some of the best looking trainers on the market and the fact that they've been going under the radar only adds to their appeal. While vintage runners are front and centra in trainer trends right now, pick up a pair of the California '78s in versatile camel.

Red trousers are huge right now, and if you can't face the thought of thick denim quite yet, these light cargos will perfectly fit the bill.

Sure, this also comes in white, black and pink, but it's this beautiful burgundy colourway that has our editors group chat going crazy.

The sumptuous chocolate satin, the softly squared toe, the elegant ruching—these have 'chic" written all over them, and even if you can't come up with a killer outfit, throwing these on before you head out will still earn you compliments.

With all things frog clasp, toggle, and pankou-knot fastening proving extremely popular right now, I love how Marks and Spencer's puff sleeve top combines two of summer's biggest trends—beautifully detailed buttons and classic white blouses.

SImple, understated, but perfectly designed (yes, you can wear this bra-free), I adore this flattering slip dress from Abercrombie for dinners, day trips and everything in between.

How to finish all of your crisp shirts, white dress and baggy t-shirt outfits in style.

Hear me out. Oversized t-shirts will continue to be a warm-weather staple for the rest of summer and beyond, and this COS tee is worth buying, yes right now, before it sells out entirely. The premium fabrication means you can expect cool cotton with a soft, easy wear.

See out of the last of the summer heatwaves in Frankie Shop's easy, throw-on-and-go shorts. The perfect piece for casual weekends when you don't know what wear.

TWP have done it again—the Kent St jeans are the perfect shade of blue with a classic, high-waist and relaxed fit in the leg. If I could design my dream pair of jeans, these are as close to perfection as it's possible to be.

I do love a traditional leather loafer, but this sleek pair from Alohas are perfect for adding polish to my warm weather looks by wearing as a ventilated mule in the heat, and come autumn as a full loafer, just pull up the heel.

Honestly, if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed this was from the high street. Everything about the luxe scarf print, asymmetrical shape and satin finish looks as if it has stepped straight off the runway. Well done, Mango.

Soak up the last few weeks of summer in this perfect throw-on-and-go dress from Fuchsia Shaw. Just add flip flops and a basket bag.

I spotted this in the Dôen showroom during Paris Fashion Week in Febuary, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The shoulder ties! The silk! The watercolour horse print! I don't think I could be more excited for a pre-fall drop., and did I mention that there's a matching scarf?

If you haven't already felt Rise and Fall's premium quality knitwear for yourself, this is exactly where to start. This lightweight silk-cotton vest can be worn by itself on warm summer days, but I'd wear it with the matching cardigan, and tucked into high-waisted jeans.

If Chemena Kamali's wooden wedges didn't have you hooked after her Chloé debut show, Sézane's easy to wear Maria mules will. This is how to do the boho trend the polished, grown-up way.

I can't help it, these Posse shorts are just so cute that I keep sharing them with anyone who will listen. When the heatwave rolls around again, you can thank me later.

Looking for a roomy leather tote that works for every day and every season? You just found it. Consider this is the kind of investment piece that is well worth the cost per wear.

Is it too soon to talk about jackets? This is a cotton-linen blend so you needn't worry about overheating. Smart move, Front Row Shop. Now I'm mentally building my pre-fall wardrobe...

I am not exaggerating when I say that I have been trawling the market for months looking for the perfect "awkward length" 90s skirt. Today I'm happy to announce that not only have I found the one, but it also comes in three different colours.

Yes, you read that correctly. £50, and it's not missing an extra zero. Be still my beating heart.

I know, I couldn't believe it either—these designer coded shoes are under £40 and available on the high street.

I know, I stopped scrolling when I saw this too. After a summer spent in linen and cotton, I'm suddenly ready to trade it all for lace that looks so, so good with blue denim. Bravo, Rixo.

I saw someone wearing silk satin trousers in the street the other say, and as the sunlight hit them I realised just how elegant these easy, flowy trousers can be on a warm, breezy day with flat sandals and a tank top.

Dress up everything from slip dresses to cropped jeans and thank me later.

I won't bring up autumn just yet, but it pays to be prepared. You might not want to wear more than a t-shirt during the heatwave, but this silk and linen blend shirt is light enough to drape around your shoulders now, and layered over a tee come September.

Back to scheduled heatwave content, this linen co-ord is proving popular in the Who What Wear editor's group chat for very good reason. Next time you're too hot to plan an outfit, let this be the answer that you reach for.

Looking for The Row inspired pieces without having to spend four figures? There's nowhere better than COS for luxurious minimalism that doesn't break the bank.

ICYMI—layered tees and tanks are having a moment, and while you could layer up the tops you already own, Zara has gotten rid of the awkward bunching by coming up with a perfectly matched pair for you.

We called it, check prints are huge this summer, and Damson Madder's Emmy dress is perfect for pulling on for all of your alfresco plans. Just add a basket bag and ballet flats and you've got a comfortable and easy 5 minute outfit that you can wear through heatwaves and chilly spells.

The colour, the column shape, the light slip fabric—this is too elegant to scroll past, so think your favourite jeans outfit, swap the denim for this skirt, and tell me it didn't just exponentially improve.

Florals for spring/summer may not be groundbreaking, but Reformation's dark blooms do feel fresh. I'd been a maxi dress devotee until I saw this playful mini, and now I can't stop thinking about how perfect this would be for the climbing temperatures.

Summer workwear will never be the same again—wear these luxurious long shorts with everything from tank tops to tailored shirts and prepare for the compliments to come rolling in.

Colour trends may come and go, but buttermilk yellow is eternal. Summer wouldn't feel the same without this tastefully subdued sunshine shade, and Réalisation make it feel extra special in a delicately trimmed slip dress. Just add a tan basket bag and a pair of the aforementioned flip flops.

If the thought of bubble hems fill you with dread, H&M's elevated styling should be enough to change your mind. This khaki skirt will do everything that a classic mini will, but the fashion forward silhouette dresses up simple tanks and dresses. Another win for the high street.

What can I say? The Set have done it again, and this two pack of flip flops are right on time for another heatwave that requires easy, fuss-free styling. Remind me, what did we even wear everyday before sandal season?

In case you missed our run down of the best contemporary brands to shop this summer, TWP were high on our list for their premium quality and timeless approach to effortless (but elevated) dressing.

Carrie Bradshaw, eat your heart out. There's just something about this dress that makes me want to a grab a strappy sandal and a cosmopolitan.

Believe me when I say, the most comfortable pair of shoes I own were a pair of the Fitflop X Roksanda sandals that came out in 2024 (and yes, I still faithfully wear them); so whenever a new collection drops from the brand, I have my eyes peeled. My latest obsession? The buttery soft leather ballerinas from the Pantone collaboration. A designer looking shoe that goes easy on feet? Sign me up.

Back in stock! If you missed it the first time around, Alighieri's adorable summer souvenir necklace is shoppable again, and it's the perfect finishing touch for swimwear, linen and dress and sandals looks.

Equal parts beach bag and carryall, this slouchy raffia tote is elevated by smooth leather trims and a relaxed drawstring silhouette.

ICYMI, H&M's summer collection is serving up refined pieces at seriously affordable prices. Case in point, this luxurious-looking tie-side top. Personally, I'll be copying this look with loose jeans or white linen trousers for a seriously chic summer look.

If you've also spotted the decrease in temperatures on the horizon, then you're probably on the hunt for a light layer for milder summer evenings. Enter Massimo Dutti's bold overshirt.

Okay, I've finally cracked the code—this is the perfect airport outfit. Zara's rustic co-ord looks like a smart cardigan and trouser pairing, but up close you'll realise it's a soft cotton blend and elasticated waist, making it just as comfy as sweats.

There's something about summer that makes me want to dive into vibrant prints and bold colours, and LA Double J's fringed skirt is currently top of my wish list. This is exactly the kind of piece I would wear on repeat on holiday with a tank top and sandals, and in the city with a white top and kitten heels.

And speaking of great mid-heels, I'm still not over Massimo Dutti's designer-looking wedges, and I'm convinced that the only reason that they're still in stock is that the word hasn't gotten out about them yet.

It's officially my favourite time of year—With Nothing Underneath short set season! Whenever I'm asked for pointers on what to wear in summer, I immediately suggest this effortlessly elegant co-ord.

If you loved the recent bib/apron top trend, I just know you're going to fall for this Plumo dress. As soon as I spotted it, I added it to my basket, and I can't wait for it to arrive to help dress up my straight blue jeans and ballet flats.

It's not too late to invest in a pair of designer sunglasses, and Prada's oval tortoiseshell are the kind of style that will still look as good in ten years as they do now.

I'll never get tired of easy linen dresses that you can style up into something special, and this shade of buttercream is the perfect base for so many great looks.

Let's just keep this Lines & Current pendant between us, once the word gets out, it's guaranteed to sell out quickly.

I've been waiting this top on repeat over the last few weeks, and the backless detail makes it perfect for warm afternoons or dressy evening plans. Bravo, Fuchsia Shaw.

When jeans are too much and shorts just won't cut it, a pair of wide, airy trousers are exactly what's required, and the wrap detail on these H&M pants makes them look far more expensive than high street.

Manolo Blahnik's street style edit focuses on styles to be worn walking around the city, and this Paterno sandal has gone straight to the top of my wish list. This is how to do daytime elegance without compromising on comfort.

One of the most hotly anticipated collaborations of the year? Reformation X Umbro of course, and this collection of sports chic separates is perfect for a summer spent outdoors. You may well have seen the chartreuse and purple anorak all over your social feeds, but I can't stop thinking about pairing the ivory colourway with a pair of navy shorts.

Stop scrolling! Yes, Dragon Diffusion's most wanted bag comes in an exciting new colour: everyone welcome cobalt blue! I have a feeling this is about to be *very* popular with the style set.

Weren't sold on fisherman sandals? Perhaps these will change your mind. The luxe green, the sumptuous suede, the pared-back design—there's no wonder it's being added to baskets dozens of times a day.

Wondering what to wear this summer? Reformation have the answer in not only this stunning red shirt, but also the chicest way to style it too. I'd wear this shirt + shorts + sandals combo everywhere from weekend shopping to the office again on Monday.

It's happening! The latest addition to the Manu Atelier roster has landed, and the Eterno is a buttery soft, slouchy tote about to be just as popular as their renowned Le Cambon. It comes in four colours—deep brown, cashmere and black, but this rich toffee is my favourite.

I'm giving my jeans a break for the next few months and focusing on light and airy comfort. Thankfully, The Set have summer style covered with this two pack of wide leg trousers that you can dress up with satin tops and kitten heels, or keep casual with tank top and flip flops.

If you don't already own a pair of capris, Mango's gingham trousers might be the ones to convince you. Not only do they look insanely good with this reasons hottest sandal trend (the heeled flip flop), but they're also going to work wonders with knitwear come autumn too. How\s that for more bang for your buck?

Next weekend plans: lie-in, sweatshirt and comfy shorts, coffee, brunch, shopping, lounging and repeat.

You may already be familiar with Alohas beautiful ballet flats, but right now my attention is firmly on these chunky leather sandals. Just add a chiffon maxi, or a tank top and baggy trousers.

Saying no to this brown and white polka dot pairing? Big mistake. Huge. If one piece can give me all of the Pretty Woman, pretty dress feels, it's going to be pleasure to wear.

When any item makes me feel happier just by looking at it, I know it's well worth investing in. Dôen's Theo top is exactly one of those pieces, and I'd wear it now with linen trousers and flip flops, and throughout the rest of summer with shorts, maxi skirts, jeans, capris...

Basket bags are a summer staple, but if you're not sold on raffia, this emerald green beaded bag will bring even the most simple outfit to life.

If you needed any further proof that linen isn't just white trousers, this chocolate brown dress from Abercrombie is a must-see. Cut to fit and flare in exactly the right places, it's a boob-supporting, waist-cinching wonder that also comes in white, blue and blush.

Life is too short for boring clothing, and Na'Kd's layered trousers just made the 'skouser' officially cool again. Just add a tank top and flat sandals for an easy, warm-weather look that feels more polished than a t-shirt and jeans.

I'm sorry, I can't help it, I'm gingham shorts obsessed. There's something about a mini hem and the cutesy print that say 'summer spirit', and Zara has nailed the brief with this versatile shade of denim blue.

The one designer purchase I never regret? Sunglasses. Not only do they never date, but if anything, they look better over time. These Saint Laurent sunnies have a vintage feel, but will go with even the most up-to-date trend.

I keep coming back to Ninety Percent's draped jersey for elegant pieces that are also supremely comfortable to wear. This beautiful top can be styled up for summer evenings, but it would also be perfect with straight leg jeans and strappy flats.

I know, you probably did a double take at the price too. It's rare to find the kind of dress you wear to dinner, dates, weddings and brunches for under £40.

Tortoiseshell? Jelly? Flip-flops? Bravo, Kurt Geiger, this is how to kick off three chic sandal trends at once.

It might feel too warm to consider a jacket right now, but in the post-heatwave lull you're going to need something drape around your shoulders or throw on over a dress for evening, and the designer-looking bomber is exactly that.

I bought some long, blue denim shorts two years ago and I've been wearing them each spring since. Now I've spotted these in white from Arket, I've got a new high summer option that feel far lighter than jeans.

If you needed a sign to book the holiday, consider this vibrant midi dress it (just don't forget your strappy sandals).

Just when I thought that you couldn't improve on the humble flip flop, Massimo Dutti's leather thong sandals have the most elegant demi-wedge heel for a little extra lift without compromising on comfort.

Babydoll and night dresses are a hot topic right now, and Juliet Dunn's dreamy scalloped mini is perfect for wearing over capris, shorts, bloomers—or on its own of course.

The easiest warm weather uniform? A tank top, PJ trousers, flat sandals and a basket bag. You can never go wrong.

Toteme's monogram PJ top still looks as good as it's first launch, and this luxe cream iteration is ideal for tucking into jeans, knee skirts, tailored shorts or of course, the matching trousers. This is how to look polished without overdoing it.

I'm surprised that there is anything still in stock, but for those who missed the Adidas Originals X ASOS launch last week, my favourite piece—this buttermilk satin track top, is still available in some sizes, so act now or forever hold your peace.
