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

Okay, we need to talk about Marks and Spencer's spring/summer shoe collection. I had originally run to the site to pick up some designer-looking ankle tie sandals I spotted on Instagram, but when I discovered they had already sold out, I was more than happy to compromise with these elegant white wedges.

Tell me that these aren't just about the most perfect 'not too baggy' jeans you've seen in an age. And that 'lived-in' mid-blue wash...

Sure, a plain white tee is undoubtedly versatile, but Aligne's sheer draped top will go with everything from jeans to slip skirts, all while looking so much more elegant than cotton jersey.

If you didn't get your hands on Saint Laurent's penny loafers the first time around, rejoice! They're back in stock in rich burgundy on MyTheresa, but you're going to have to act fast before they fly out of stock.

Tired of white linen but looking for a summer trouser thats just as breathable? Toteme's monogram PJ style bottoms so comfy you'll feel like you just slipped out of bed (without actually looking like it).

I stock up on simple dresses like these and wear them with a cardigan on top, tied around my waist, or tied around my shoulders for an easy option that you can style up in a variety of ways.

Wedding guests, date night planners, lucky jet setters, here's the pretty dress you've been searching for for all of your warm weather events. Bravo, Reformation.

I have this in tan suede and thought my handbag rotation was complete, then I saw this glossy deep red. Sleek, sophisticated and practical (it's roomier than it looks and holds all of my essentials plus my laptop), it's the kind of everyday bag well worth the investment.

Atelier Ninety Five's satin and lace drop is here, and it's exactly how I want to dress this summer. Pretty, polished and effortlessly pared-back, this is what to wear when you want to look chic without compromising on comfort.

If you weren't already convinced that Lucy Williams has an incredible eye for minimalist wardrobe heroes, her brand new edit for With Nothing Underneath acts as the perfect summer capsule of lightweight shirts, trousers and dresses perfect for layering up or stripping back when the temperatures rise.

What happens when you take the most popular denim shape of the last three years and recreate it in linen? COS' easy, breezy barrel leg of course—the ultimate pull-on-and-go spring/summer trouser for the lazy days you don't want too much fuss.

I for one was pleased to see the return of noughties designer It bag, the Balenciaga City, but even happier to see it come back in rich, chocolate suede. This is a roomy, everyday option that will go with quite honestly anything.

Deceptively simple, undeniably effective, The White Company's elegant black midi dress is all about the details. The ruched waist panel, the jersey top, the pure-cotton-poplin skirt, the blouson top—everything has been carefully considered to create a silhouette that hugs and skims in all of the right places.

Looking for an outfit that takes less than five minutes to assemble? You can always rely on a chic co-ord, and no one will believe that you found this on the high street.

Pretty blouses are having a moment right now, and when they look this good, it's easy to see why. Just add straight blue jeans, wide-leg linen or even the matching floral midi skirt for a dreamy spring look.

Sure, rubber flip flops are cool, but until you've tried a pair of Dear Frances' luxurious suede sandals, your feet haven't known true, decadent comfort. These are the easiest way to elevate a beach-to-city look with just one piece.

Well done M&S, here is yet another co-ord that got my full attention this week. Not only would I happily wear this two-piece with flat sandals and a basket bag, but I'd also wear the top with jeans, and the trousers with an oversized white shirt or cardigan until we're in 25 degree territory.

Last but not least, a strong contender for the collab of the summer, Burberry and Hunza G have teamed up for what I am convinced will be the most Instagrammed piece of swimwear this year. Snap it up now from Net-A-Porter before it inevitably sells out. You've been warned.

Just when I thought I'd seen all of the best suede funnel neck jackets on the market, Free People dropped this vegan suede number and all of a sudden I'm happy to wait a little bit longer for summer to come around.

This is exactly the kind of head-turning dress that gets you stopped in the street and complimented, and at under £40, it really is worth every penny.

I'm a sucker for a sweet spring blouse right now, and the bib detail gives this M&S top such a romantic profile. Just take a look at it from the side and you'll agree.

If you're finding transitional dressing tricky, forget the wool and save your linen for later, pulling on these simple drawstring trousers will solve all of your dilemmas with effortless ease.

Is it too soon to call sandal season? Either way, it'll pay to get ahead of the crowd with these Mint Velvet sandals that could easily be mistaken for designer.

Throw an open check shirt over this, and it's my off-duty spring look, down to a tee.

I have a feeling that this gorgeous shape would look amazing on every body, and dresses like that come once in a blue moon.

Sorry derby shoes, but from the butter soft leather to the subtle branding, these slip-on flats have "elegant" written all over them.

A bright pop of colour to lift your mood (and your day), Rails latest collab with chef Giada De Laurentiis is a vibrant slice of Italy that conjures up the thought of summers spent by Lake Como.

Until it's officially hot enough to go without an extra layer, I'm convinced that this short trench is the perfect spring jacket. Light, easy and that scarf detail? I have a feeling this is going to be very popular.

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

While the rest of the world is focused on stovepipe jeans, I'm still in my wide-leg era. Looser, baggier jeans feel effortlessly cool with a pair of flip flops, and until I find a straight-leg that is comfy enough to rival joggers, these are top of my wish list.

PSA: new Loewe raffia basket bags have dropped, and this fresh silhouette is big enough to wear across your body as well as slung over your shoulder.

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.

The other big news this week was the second collaboration between John Lewis and Rejina Pyo, and in amongst the sharp tailoring, fine knits and fresh spring separates, I spotted these impossibly chic mule sandals. Wear with everything from midi dresses to capri trousers.

If you thought it was too soon to wear linen, may I present With Nothing Underneath's elegant Clara maxi. This is the kind of transitional hero you can wear now with cardigans and shirts, and throughout summer with a tank top or bandeau.

As a kitten heel devotee, it takes a lot to get me into trainers, but Wales Bonner's pony hair sneakers are so luxurious they've changed my whole perspective on what a "smart shoe" can be.

With '90s minimalism still a talking point this season, this is exactly the shape and colour that will earn you so many compliments. Just add oval shades and a black cardigan around your shoulders or tied around your waist.

While my body is stuck in spring, my mind is very much in summer, and I'm tempted to grab this now to wear with chunky sandals and a basket bag before it sells out in the coming months. Bravo, French Connection.

When a denim, wool or leather jacket feels a little bit too substantial, this is the perfect lightweight layer to pull on over all of your spring outfits. It helps that the elegant draping looks fresh off the runway too.

Looking for a trouser that you can wear on mild spring days, throughout cold spells, dressed up with heels, kept casual with flats for weekends, and with shirts, blouses, jumpers and tees? Congratulations, you just found it. Thank you, Bhoem.

I saw this in store and ran it to try it on only to find my size out of stock. Trust me, this won't stick around for long online either, once everyone cottons on to the fit and expensive-looking detailing, they'll want to snap it up too.

You might not be ready to commit to a rubber flip flop in April, but an elegant, heeled thong sandal is a sure fire sign that summer is just around the corner. Given just how versatile barely-there sandals are, you're guaranteed to get a lot of wear out of these mock-croc heels from Toteme.

You may be tempted to save a top like this for dressier occasions, but it looks so good with straight blue jeans that you can add a pair of ballet flats and sunnies for an easy weekend look too.

Whenever I don't know what to wear, co-ords are my go-to, and the soft sculpt does exactly what the name suggests—expect soft, stretchy fabric that supports and smooths for the easiest wear on the days that you need it most.

PSA: linen doesn't have to be "boring"! White shirts never go out of style, but sunshine yellow feels so fresh for 2026.

I lived in column skirts last winter and I'm so excited to see this chic silhouette redone for warmer weather in linen. I'd wear this now with a cardigan and loafers, and through summer with a tank top and sandals.

Every single time I wear a dress or a blouse from Rat and Boa, I get compliments. Such is the power of their sublime fit and attention-grabbing prints, and this is next on my wish list as the perfect dress to wear throughout spring, and summer too.

Does anyone else refresh the Demellier page as often as I do? Unlikely, but you may want to start, or you coul miss gems like the latest Florence tote in this new chocolate suede colourway. Pure perfection.

Another week, another covetable piece from Dôen, this time in the form of a whisper-light silk skirt that looks unbelievably good with a fluffy cardigan.

PSA! Phoebe Philo has landed at MyTheresa and if you were one of the lucky insiders to know before everyone else, bravo. I have a feeling that most pieces will have sold through by the end of the week, but luckily these exceptionally good loafers are still in stock.

Honestly. this whole look is very "cool-girl spring", but it's the length of the shorts that got my full attention. While everyone else debates which are the right trousers to wear in fluctuating temperatures, these long shorts have already provided the solution.

Just when you thought H&M couldn't get any better, you spot this light, suedette jacket for under £40. And yes, you read the price correctly.

Comfort is king, and right now pulling on a pair of easy, wide-leg trousers like these only requires a white tee and flat sandal to be my idea of a perfectly balanced outfit. Just don't forget a cardigan to tie around your shoulders, just in case.

Hear me out: if you're still wearing the same white t-shirt, try this linen V-neck from Whistles. The breathable fabrication makes it the ideal layering piece for wearing under blazers, jackets, jumpers, longsleeves...

Two great dresses, one even better price. Once the word gets out about Next's bandeau dresses, I predict they're going to be a huge hit. Good thing I don't gatekeep.

Mango has nailed the scarf-tie trend with this handkerchief dress that does the styling for you.

These slouchy, high-waisted jeans tap into one of spring/summer's biggest denim trends: natural beige tones.

The funnel neck jacket trend just won't quit, and this understated number from the Frankie Shop is equal parts comfy and cool.

I would live in these now with a chunky cream knit, and through the rest of summer with a tank top and flip flops.

And, speaking of great flip flops, this designer-coded pair are going to be very popular when the word gets out.

I will concede that despite my shopping habits, it isn't quite summer yet. This is the kind of cardigan that will go with all of your spring tops and dresses.

You have been officially warned—this cute Miu Miu tank will sell out at rocket speed, so it's a good thing you've got me to share these great new finds with you.

Another day, another great bra-free dress from Abercrombie, and this is channelling the exact vibe I want to recreate for the rest of spring.

This is selling out at an unbelievable speed, and each time I check back another size is gone. Act fast if this beautiful shade of red is calling out to you, you won't find another premium-looking suedette jacket in this colour and at that reasonable price.

Sorry white tees, cream blouses are the hero top this season. A dressy ruffle and pretty sleeve is the secret behind getting ready in five minutes, but looking effortlessly put-together.

The perfect mix of comfy, casual and chic, you'll wear these with everything from sandals to slingbacks.

When I say I've been looking for an investment piece worth the little extra spend, this is exactly what I'm talking about. The practical size, the craftsmanship, the iconic Gucci monogram. I was sold from the moment I saw it.

Not only does this Ninety Percent jacket look good, but each purchase shares 90% of the brands profits between the people who make the garments and the charitable causes they support.

Remember when Realisation's Gia dress first landed in that viral brown zebra? Then the red, and eventually the blue rose print? It now comes in no less than ten different colours and patterns, but the new black micro floral has really caught my eye as the O.G is one of the best fitting, most flattering dresses in my wardrobe, hands down.

Whistles Manny loafers now come in a brand new colourway—a subtly distressed tan leather. Just add blue jeans and light jacket and you're good to go.

My current obsession? Mixing necklaces, and Sézane has some of the best statement pieces for curating your stack in the underrated treasure trove that is its jewellery section,

I'm convinced that balloon trousers are about to be the next big trend in 2026, and these are the perfect shade of buttermilk yellow for wearing throughout spring and beyond.

Until temperatures make it to 20 degrees, I'm still keeping a trusty knit close by to throw on with jeans, skirts and over my favourite summer dresses. This chunky crew neck just landed at Sézane, and it's the kind of versatile option everyone should have in their wardrobe for an unpredictable spring.

If like me you fell for the delicate silk shorts from Saint Laurent but can't justify the price, the clever team at Aligne have come up with a similar style that are a fraction of the cost, and come in a much more wearable colour than blush pink.

A good fashion editor never gatekeeps, but even I thought twice about sharing these hidden gems with the world before I had a chance to buy them myself. Trust me, when you tell people where these are from, no one will believe you.

And speaking of excellent baggy jeans, ARKET has got this silhouette perfected to a T—just the right amount of slouch to look cool, but not so much bunching fabric that you have to drag them along the ground. Also, note that cinching high-waist.

This might be worth bookmarking for warmer weather, but Free People's co-ord sets are such good instant outfits that I keep an eye out for them in the new-in section. So, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled across this bandeau and wide-leg combo in six different colours. That's my summer sorted.

Jigsaw tailoring always gets a thumbs up from me, but if you don't want to commit to the full suit, take a second look at the trousers—they could easily replace your jeans in any blouse, shirt, cardigan or t-shirt outfit for a little extra polish.

Not a brand new style, but a fresh colourway and fabrication, you can always count on DeMellier for premium, fashion-forward bags that work for every season.

Queens of Archive have launched their SS'26 collection Edith's Garden, and this romantic, polka dot maxi is undoubtedly one of my favourite pieces. Wear now with a cardigan and ballet pumps, and throughout summer with a flat strappy sandal and a big sun hat.

Oh, I am so pleased to see this Anthropologie bag comes in a new chocolate colourway, and I have a feeling it won't hang about for long. Consider this your ideal spring bag, and for under £100.

I do love a classic leather loafer. This sleek pair from Jimmy Choo add just enough polish to my everyday looks, and even evening ensembles too.

Hear me out. Linen shirts and trousers continue to be a warm-weather staple every year, and this one from Uniqlo is worth buying, yes right now, before it sells out entirely. The premium fabrication means you can expect cool linen with a soft, supple texture and a subtle, glossy sheen.

SImple, understated, but perfectly cut. I adore this flattering A-line dress from Karen Millen for dinners, day trips and everything in between.

Funnel neck jackets are still on every fashion editor's wish-list. Good job then that The White Company has come up with this luxurious suede iteration. A great spring jacket, if you want my professional opinion.

Add a sweet sparkle to your after-dark looks with these pretty pavé edge earrings. I swear by Otiumberg for the perfect ear-party stack.

Looking for some effortless and elegant outfit inspiration? Mango have some of the best budget-friendly trousers that look like they have just stepped straight off the runway.

This has all of the hallmarks of a new fashion editor favourite. Perfectly cut, 100% premium leather, standout design, oh, and I audibly gasped when I saw it. This is exactly the kind of look you expect to see on the street style set during fashion week—bravo, Rohe.

We called it—icy blues are having a moment right now, and this simple slip dress from ASOS looks far more expensive than its £30 budget.

Just when we thought Loewe had peaked with the Flamenco, Pebble and Puzzle, the new Amazona is a sight to behold. This sumptuous and spacious top handle is roomy enough for your laptop, making it a strong contender for "best everyday-use designer bag of the year".

Looking for a spring jacket that you can throw on over dresses and blouses that isn't as overbearing as a coat, but warmer than a cardigan? You just found it. And that elegant silhouette? Such a wow piece.

With every fleeting moment of sunshine I grow more and more optimistic that spring will shortly be in full bloom. Until then, you'll find me pouring over the dress section of Nobody's Child and planning my next sunny getaway.

There's been a lot of conversation around stovepipe jeans lately, but I'm just coming around to how chic a pair of baggy, wide-legs can be if the fit is just right.

These elegant loafers come in burgundy, black, suede brown, vintage brown and patent brown, so there's a pair for every look you can think of.

Cream or tan, cream or tan... maybe this skirt is worth buying in both as its the kind of classic style that never dates but always has a place in your spring/summer wardrobe.

Thought lululemon was just leggings and sports bras? The Easyfive pants are the kind of trouser you want to pull on and wear all week and the reviews agree. "(They) Look like jeans but feel as comfy as joggers". Enough said.

A great coat can smarten up any look, but especially a structured trench with a contemporary twist. This cropped jacket with cape detail is the modern trench you've been waiting for, and it will go with everything you already have in your spring wardrobe.

I spend an awful lot of time refreshing Rixo's new-in section, and the Ellery cotton blouse is what spring dreams are made of. Mark my words, once the word about this gets out, it won't stay in stock for long.

Wide-leg trousers never go out of style, and & Other Stories' puddle pants are perfectly cut for just the right amount of slouch. In fact, this whole look is worth recreating for a well-dressed commute.

You'll already be familiar with Toteme's premium knitwear and outerwear, but their stellar range of accessories is not to be missed either. I'm really into suede ballet flats this season, and so this pair in a rare shade of honey "cashew" are top of my wish list.

I'm convinced that slip dresses are one of the hardest working pieces you'll ever own. . Great in sunny weather with sandals, dressed up for evening and occasions with heels, or even kept casual with flats and a chunky cardigan.

Only the best will cut it for me when it comes to the "jeans a nice top" formula, and I'm confident we'll see a lot more of this Ganni crochet styled up with denim, linen, slip skirts, Bermuda shorts, wide-leg trousers... the possibilities are endless.

Bold pops of hot red are still on the agenda in 2026. These pleasing linen trousers from GAP are a real knock-out, and perfect for warm summers and beyond.

I have a good eye for great sunnies, and this new-in Jimmy Fairly pair are guaranteed to invite compliments. Don't forget to pop them in your handbag to be ready the moment that the weather is too,

Struggling with outfit inspiration? Sharp blazers and blue jeans are the ultimate failsafe, and if you missed out on ARKET's bestselling Hopsack blazer, you should immediately bookmark this before it's gone.

Yes, you read that correctly. Abercrombie may have just changed the game with a throw-on dress so easy that you don't need to wear a bra (the secret is the hidden,seam-free cups). Top of my spring wish list.

Those with an eye for premium bags will already be well acquainted with Manu Atelier's Le Cambon, but new for resort '26 comes the XL Du Jour in what I predict will be the breakout print of the year—fierce tiger. Roomy enough for all of your essentials (including your laptop), this should help your commute feel a little more chic.

Sure, crew necks are great, but polo collared jumpers take things up a notch in the style stakes. Tuck into jeans, layer over turtlenecks, wrap around your shoulders—this grey knit from H&M's Premium Selection collection does it all.

Sorry skinnies, my mind is firmly made up on loose-legged jeans. AGOLDE have become my go-to for a high-rise that cinches the waist, and the Arc jeans are the perfect wash and fit for comfy, everyday wear.

Bravo, Prada! A shoe that ticks off just about every current trend possible—a comfy ballet flat, that warm shade of chestnut brown, woven detailing, and of course, a discreet Prada logo. I have a feeling we're about to see much more of these on the street style set in 2026.

Okay, this outfit is everything I'm manifesting for spring. Light, fresh layers in a sorbet colour palette, topped off with the addition of some pretty lace. Is it too much to ask that I don't need to carry an umbrella at all times? This might be a buy now and wear for the rest of the year instead.

Whenever a new Dragon Diffusion bag drops, it gets my full attention. This vibrant green is the shade I didn't know I needed, and will make any blue denim, white dresses and grey knits feel instantly brighter.

Whenever anyone asks me where to find the best knitwear, I steer them to Navygrey. The quality is second to none, and my winter wardrobe is full of their sumptuously thick knits, but for spring I have my eye on a lighter sweater designed to be lived in.

I'm in the mood for chic, sharp and classic jackets as we move into spring. This short, funnel-neck beauty from Zara will slip into my capsule wardrobe so perfectly.

DeMellier's new collection is mouth-wateringly good. The Midi Stockholm got the spring update in this chic nougat hue.

Waisted cardigans are such a simple and effective way to feel put-together, particularly for the days when you're heading from your 9-to-5 to dinner plans. I love the khaki hue to this one, and will pair it with everything from tailored trousers to indigo denim jeans.

Strong eyewear is a non-negotiable for me, and as we head into spring, I want to up my sunnies game with these razor-sharp frames from Miu Miu.

All my fashion friends and colleagues rave about M&S denim. These dark-wash, wide-leg beauties look infinitely expensive, and come in a fabulous size and fit range. I'm pairing them with simple white t-shirts and heeled ankle boots as my base look for spring.

A subtle but chic update on a silver hoop, these new-in Link hoops from Astrid & Miyu are too cool to miss this week.

I'm ready to invest in some chic spring outerwear. This suede barn jacket beauty from H&M is going to be my micro-fascination for the foreseeable future.

I thought these were designer! Big, bug-like aviators are where it's at right now, and will give any look a luxe edge.

The Lucy Williams x Missoma collab is the gift that keeps on giving. These chunky knot earrings are so fabulous, and will add a dose of high shine to your day-to-night outfits.

Zara's new-in section is chock full of soft pastels and fresh shirting. This poplin blouse is the perfect shade of powder pink. Team with denim and ballet flats this spring.

Everyone at Who What Wear UK is obsessed with everything chartreuse right now. This cashmere knit from M&S is bang on trend and will pair with satin midi skirts or indigo denim just exquisitely.

ME + EM denim is a poorly kept insider secret. I've already spotted these jeans on many a chic dresser, and love their relaxed fit.
