What to Buy Now from the Last Seven Days
Shop My New-In Edit:
& Other Stories
Oversized Utility Jacket
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.
COS
Merino Wool Layered V-Neck Jumper
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.
ME+EM
Heritage Mini Skirt
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.
Louis Vuitton
Low Key Speedy 25 Soft Bag
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.
Navygrey
The New Classic Crew
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.
Nobodys Child
Dark Brown Croc-Embossed Leather Coat
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.
Monikh x NAKD
Drawstring Detail Pocket Trousers
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.
Acne Studios
Checked fringed cashmere and wool scarf
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.
M&S
Embellished Flat Mules
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.
Shop My Previous Best Buys:
Jigsaw
Wool Super Maxi City Coat
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.
The White Company
Textured Stitch V Neck Jumper with Alpaca
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.
Free People
Pyre Embellished Duster Coat
I can't be the only one seeing this coat all over my feed this week, and I think Free People have a viral hit on their hands in the form of this Almost Famous reminiscent duster than would look exceptionally good over a maxi dress and boots.
Toteme
Medium Belted Suede Tote Espresso
Does it get better than a sensible and sleek tote bag that is dressy enough to feel special but reliable enough for everyday?
Reformation
Jonie Cashmere Oversized Scoop Neck
Repeat after me: "I will no longer waste money on boring, ill-fitting knitwear for as long as Reformation exists".
M&S
Corduroy Barrel Leg Trousers
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.
Karen Millen
Cotton Zip Through Collar Knitted Midi Dress
Just add a glossy knee high boot for an autumnal look that transitions effortlessly between night and day, and work and weekend.
AGOLDE
Lana Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans
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.
Saint Laurent
Lewis Sneakers in Suede
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.
Anthropologie
Veja Gt Trainers
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.
COS
Leather Funnel-Neck Jacket
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.
Charles & Keith
Large Ginevra Tote Bag
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.
ZARA
100% Leather Belt With Plate Buckle
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.
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.
Reformation
Remy Flat Knee Boot
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.
Weekday
Mohair Blend Zip Cardigan
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.
The Set
2 Pack Satin Bow Ballet Flats Brown/Pink
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.
Citizens of Humanity
Lindz Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans
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.
Allsaints
Joan Medium Suede Satchel
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.
THE FRANKIE SHOP
Noxley Pillbox Wool Hat
As soon as the temperatures drop, you're going to appreciate having a killer styling piece like this Frankie Shop hat in your arsenal.
Rise & Fall
Women's Cashmere Merino Henley Jumper
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.
With Nothing Underneath
Crawford Jeans: Straight Leg
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.
The Frankie Shop
Senna Jacket
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.
Toteme
Boxy Shirt Pine/Popcorn
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...
Nobodys Child
Cobalt Blue Funnel Neck Jacket
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.
Hush
Farah Cashmere Henley Jumper
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.
Jigsaw
Shearling Collar Leather Jacket
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.
Gap
Beige Vintage Soft Oversized Half-Zip Wedge Pullover
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.
ALIGNE
Daphne High Neck Blazer
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.
ZARA
100% Leather Zip Mini Dress
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.
M&S
Leather Croc Ruched Loafers
I have a feeling that once the word gets out about these Marks and Spencer loafers, they're going to be very popular indeed. There's no need to join waitlists and drop four figures on a leather loafer when they can look this good for under £60.
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.
H&M
Scarf-Collar Bubble-Hem Jacket
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.
DeMellier
The Stockholm | Zebra-Effect Hair Calf
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.
Tu Clothing
Plum & Stripe Long Sleeve Tops 2 Pack
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.
Coach
Rhyder Satchel Bag 38
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.
COS
Cutaway-Collar Striped Cotton-Blend Shirt
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.
Katie Loxton
Victoria Distressed Shoulder Bag
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.
Onitsuka Tiger
California 78 Vin
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.
Reformation
Sawyer Cargo Pant
ZARA
ZW Collection Satin Shirt With Frog Fastening
Sure, this also comes in white, black and pink, but it's this beautiful burgundy colourway that has our editors group chat going crazy.
Massimo Dutti
Ruched Bow Ballet Flats
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.
M&S
Knot Button Detail Puff Sleeve Top
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.
Abercrombie
Bra-Free Satin Slip Midi Dress
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.
The Frankie Shop
Lui Striped Shorts in Yellow
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 Clothing
Kent St Jean in Heavy Denim
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.
ALOHAS
Aven Mule Vintage Effect Brown
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.
FUCHSIA SHAW
The Eden Dress
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?
Rise and Fall
Women's Silk-Cotton Vest
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.
POSSE
Nadine Striped Ruffled Cotton-Jersey Shorts
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.
ST. AGNI
Woven Large Leather Tote
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.
Front Row Shop
Ibiza Jacket Ivory
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...
GAP
Brown Easy Knee-Length Skirt
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.
ZARA
Leather Strap Flat Sandals
Yes, you read that correctly. £50, and it's not missing an extra zero. Be still my beating heart.
schuh
Solomon Wedge Toe Post in Brown
I know, I couldn't believe it either—these designer coded shoes are under £40 and available on the high street.
Rixo
Padma Lace Top in Cream
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.
ARKET
Silk Satin Trousers
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.
GUEST IN RESIDENCE
Striped Silk and Linen-Blend Polo Shirt
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.
Free People
Sightseer Linen Co-Ord
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.
COS
Frieze Leather Bowling Bag
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.
Damson Madder
Emmy Shirred Check Midi Dress
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.
Nobodys Child
Cream Mila Midi Slip Skirt
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.
Maebe
Tailored Longline Shorts
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.
The Set
2 Pack Jelly Flip Flops Brown and Red
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?
TWP Clothing
Pencil Skirt With Details
& Other Stories
Draped Midi Dress
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.
FitFlop
Women's Delicato Poise Leather Ballerinas
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.
Alighieri
The Catch of the Day Necklace
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.
Jimmy Choo
Drawstring Tote Large
Equal parts beach bag and carryall, this slouchy raffia tote is elevated by smooth leather trims and a relaxed drawstring silhouette.
H&M
Draped Tie-Detail Top
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.
Massimo Dutti
Fluid Overshirt With Button Details Total 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.
Leset
Barb Lace-Trimmed Satin Wide-Leg Pants in White - Leset
Take a peek at my wish list and you'll find an array of Leset pieces, but at the top are these trousers. Relaxed, fluid and slinky, these are the kind of trousers that make simple tank tops and Tees look seriously chic with minimal effort.
RAILS
Porto Sandal - Tomato Leather
Looking to revitalise your shoe collection this summer? Rails has the answer. Smooth leather sandals with clean lines and a bold shade. If you're not sold on the red, you'll want to check out the black and brown versions.
It's here—Dôen's latest prettiest dress which is sure to fly out of stock as quickly as it arrived.
DeMellier
The Siena Crossbody | Natural Raffia & Black Smooth
DeMellier's Siena bag has been reconsidered into a versatile crossbody style, and the raffia version is set to be the It style for summer. Pack full with SPF, books, snacks and more for trips to the beach or your local park.
Marks & Spencer does simple yet effective oh-so well. Take these satin shorts, a summer staple updated with a glossy fabric to set them apart. Naturally, they're already moving fast.
Toteme
Shield Aviator Sunglasses Dark Havana - One Size
Sunglasses are back as an everyday staple, and if you're looking for impact this summer it's Toteme's pair that should be on your radar. They also come in a green lens that I haven't stopped thinking about.
Reformation
Helen Low Waist Midi Skirt
Yes, a floaty cotton skirt will work hard in your wardrobe, but if you're looking to lean into the embellishments of summer I present to you Reformation's Helen skirt. Style up for days in the city, date night, al fresco dinners and basically everything else.
If Only If
Vita Short - Redcurrant Gingham
In the current heatwave I've been living in If Only If nightgowns and dresses. Light, airy cotton dresses that you can lounge in, shop in, lay in the park in, and most importantly, go to sleep in—what's not to love? Buy now and thank me later.
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.
LA DOUBLEJ
Foulard Fringed Silk-Twill Mini Skirt
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.
Massimo Dutti
Mid-Heel Sandals With Toe Divider
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.
With Nothing Underneath
The Set: Seersucker Navy Blue Shirt & Boxer Shorts
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.
Maison Margiela
Box Bag Medium
Just when I thought it couldn't get better than Maison Margiela's confetti Tabi ballet flats, I spotted this hobo bag on the site and had to share it in the WWW editor's group chat. It also comes in camel and black, but the pop of red would be perfect against a fresh white summer dress.
PRADA
Pr D06s Oval-Frame Tortoiseshell Acetate Sunglasses
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.
COS
Tailored Linen Mini Dress
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.
Lines & Current
'terra' Cord Necklace
Let's just keep this Lines & Current pendant between us, once the word gets out, it's guaranteed to sell out quickly.
FUCHSIA SHAW
The Iris Top in Fern
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.
H&M
Modal-Blend Wrap-Detail Trousers
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
Paterno Sandal
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.
Reformation
Umbro Valeria Anorak
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.
Dragon Diffusion
Rosanna Mini Woven Leather Shoulder Bag
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.
Massimo Dutti
Midi Pareo Skirt With Appliqués
I'm a sucker for a little bit of embellishment, and this Massimo Dutti skirt is perfect for holidays, summer in the city, date night evenings and everything in between.
M&S
Suede Ankle Strap Flat Fisherman Sandals
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.
Reformation
Andy Oversized Shirt
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.
Manu Atelier
Eterno Toffee Suede
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.
The Set
2 Pack Pull on Pleated Front Wide Leg Trousers
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.
Prada
Long-Sleeved Striped Cotton Jersey T-Shirt
ICYMI—fashion insiders are swapping fitted t-shirts for baggy, long sleeves (call it the Margot Robbie effect), and I have a feeling that this Prada number is going to be very popular on socials this fashion month and beyond.
ZARA
Zw Collection Embroidered Fringed Skirt
Whether you're packing for a holiday or simply braving summer in the city, no one will believe that this impressive skirt was from the high street. The attention to detail alone makes it look designer.
SPORTY & RICH
Logo-Embroidered Shell Jacket
It's simply too hot to consider any other jacket than a windbreaker right now, and I'm tempted to keep this in my tote bag for throwing on after sunset when the evenings get a little breezier. Tell me this isn't the perfect style for wearing with a pair of white shorts and a black leather sandal?
M&S
Leather Ankle Strap Flatform Toe Post Sandals
And speaking of great leather sandals, M&S' new-in shoe section is so impressive right now, but if I had to choose one pair to show you that I think you'll love, it would be these toe post sandals in fresh white.
H&M
Ruched Linen-Blend Dress
Sure, white dresses are synonymous with summer, but I've never seen a red dress that didn't look incredible with a tan. The fitted bodice, flared skirt and pleats of this H&M dress put it high on my list of must-see styles on the market right now. You're welcome.
& Other Stories
Linen Mini Dress
Simple, but undeniably effective—& Other Stories' linen mini is the perfect foundation for 100 different styling possibilities, but it also looks just as good pared-back and worn with understated sandals and a basket bag.
Chloé
Mini Leather-trimmed Raffia Bucket Bag
Speaking of basket bags, this Chloé bucket is the stuff of dreams. If you weren't on board with boho blouses or balloon trousers, this is the easiest way to introduce a little whimsy into your look.
COS
Wide-Leg Linen Drawstring Trousers
The colour! The cut! These wide-leg linen trousers are the kind of chic piece you can pull-on and breeze around in during heatwaves or trips abroad, but I'll be doubling up and wearing the full co-ord for summer in the city.
Sezane
Tamy Blouse - Embroidered Ecru
Looking for a quick way to dress up jeans? You just found it. Bravo, Sézane, we will never tire of beautiful blouses.
MANGO
Gingham Check Capri Trousers
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?
ANINE BING
Ramy Striped Cotton Shorts
Next weekend plans: lie-in, sweatshirt and comfy shorts, coffee, brunch, shopping, lounging and repeat.
ALOHAS
Tebas Brown Leather Sandals
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.
Rixo
Cely Mini Dress in Layla Dot Brown
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...
JW Anderson
Bulb Small Beaded Leather-Trimmed Shoulder Bag
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.
Abercrombie
100% Linen A&f Dylan Halter Midi Dress
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.
Na-Kd Premium Selection
Checked Skirt Detail Pants
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.
Saint Laurent
SL M148 Cat-Eye Sunglasses
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.
Ninety Percent
Orla Low V Neck Rouch Side Top in Lemon
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.
New Look
Green Satin Lace Trim Slip Midi Dress
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.
M&S
Faux Leather Neck Tie Bomber Jacket
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.
The Set
3 Pack Mock Layer Semi Sheer Soft Touch Vests
White tees are a classic, but right now layering tops are having a moment. This three pack from The Set will go with all of your linen trousers, maxi skirts and shorts and sandal outfits this summer. You're welcome.
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.
CALA DE LA CRUZ
Daphne Ruched Printed Jersey Midi Dress
If you needed a sign to book the holiday, consider this vibrant midi dress it (just don't forget your strappy sandals).
Massimo Dutti
Mid-Heel Sandals With Toe Divider
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.
Juliet Dunn
Embroidered Scalloped Cotton Minidress
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.
ZARA
Zw Collection Striped Pyjama-Style Trousers
The easiest warm weather uniform? A tank top, PJ trousers, flat sandals and a basket bag. You can never go wrong.
Dragon Diffusion
Rosanna Tote Bag | Os
And speaking of great basket bags, Dragon Diffusion's cherry red Rosanna tote feels like pure summer joy in handbag form. Throw in your essentials and wear with everything from swimwear and shorts, to tees and tailoring.
If I could only choose one item as a key seasonal buy, I'd recommend a silk scarf to anyone who would listen. Toteme's gorgeous Collector Scarf is the perfect pop of colour to wear as a headscarf, but it's also big enough to wear as a bandana top too. How's that for great cost per wear?
& Other Stories
Smocked Waist Midi Dress
With most of the UK currently in the throes of a heatwave, the last thing you want to do is spend time fussing over what to wear in the morning. I'm convinced that dresses like this are the perfect warm-weather outfit, and this pretty, smocked dress doesn't require too much ironing, so you can throw it on and go.
Jigsaw
Mara Linen Checked Short
Aren't these adorable? Sorry denim cut-offs, I've just found a new pair of shorts that manage to make event the most casual outfit feel a bit special. Just add a tank top and flip flops for an effortless ensemble.
M&S
Suede Tie Ankle Strap Kitten Heel Sandals
When this first landed on the Sézane site in buttermilk yellow with gold buttons, I thought it was joyous. Now it's had a grown-up update in this graphic floral print, and I'm convinced it looks even better—but especially with silk bottoms and a basket bag.
MATTEAU
Shirred Organic Cotton-Poplin Mini Dress
Again, another shirred dress that feels comfy enough to pull on with any flat shoe, but the gorgeous splash of crimson and delicate spaghetti strap could only be Matteau. Prepare to watch it truly come alive when the sun hits.
Reformation
Clara Silk Bermuda Short
Just when I couldn't decide between silk shorts or Bermuda shorts, Reformation helped to solve my problem. I have a feeling that a breezy satin short is the high summer piece you didn't know you needed (until now), and they might just be cool enough to replace linen in 2026.
DeMellier
The Stockholm | Tobacco Suede & Black Suede
Three words for you: limited. Edition. Demellier. Yes, the perfect Stockholm bag just got even better with this tobacco and black suede stripe version, and I'd happily carry this everywhere; from the airport to a lunch date.
MIU MIU
Mu B04s Rectangular-Frame Acetate Sunglasses
Okay, I'll admit it, I have a bit of a sunglasses problem. I currently have two pairs of high street sunnies in my handbag for emergencies, but when I want to bring out the big guns and really refresh my look, you can't beat a pair of designer sunglasses; but especially Miu Miu.
Hush
Ozra Gathered Straps Top
Simple but effective, this feels like an easy step up from a plain white tee.
Zara
High Neck Linen Blend Jacket
After spending the last week or so determined to embrace spring and shivering on the chilly commute back home, I'm ready to admit that I still need outerwear in my life. This is exactly the kind of jacket that will tempt me back into the fold though—the colour and shape are second to none.
THE ROW
Peggy Leather Clutch
At this point, The Row have surpassed even It bag status, and any new release feels like a conversation worthy moment. The Peggy feels like a baby version of the Margaux as it's intended to be a clutch first, but use the shoulder strap and its the perfect everyday handbag size.
H&M
Kitten-Heeled Sandals
Yes, you read that correctly. These are only £23, a bargain considering that if you'd told me they were designer, I would have believed you. What a triumph from H&M.
DÔEN
Sorina Tiered Embroidered Floral-Print Organic Cotton Midi Dress
It's nearly summer dress season, and Dôen always top my wish list with beautifully crafted, timeless dresses that always fit and flare in exactly the right places. Just add a basket bag and flats sandals and wear on repeat when the temperatures rise.
The Set
2 Pack Pull on Wide Leg Trousers With Linen Stone Brown/ Stripe
I'm starting to feel like I may have broken fashion's best kept secret when it comes to The Set, but when I spot great finds like this two pack of wide-leg trousers, I can't help but want to share it. (Oh, and if the stone and brown stripe aren't your favourite colours, there's also a sky blue and blue stripe set too)..
Gap
Red Poplin Drop-Waist Maxi Dress
The Who What Wear UK team are obsessed with everything GAP right now, and this drop waist red dress is will pair with chic sandals and cashmere cardigans exquisitely.
Toteme
Monogram Silk Pj Top Ivory
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.
Free People
Spotlight Washed Barrel Chino Trousers
Monikh Dale has inspired me to take the plunge and swap my usual black wide-leg trousers for a more utility-inspired 'ice coffee' chino. Come sunny but chilly weather, this is the exact outfit I'll be recreating.
Completedworks
Completedworks X John Lewis Tort Resin Twist Hoop Earrings, Tortoiseshell
Jewellery fans, rejoice! Completedworks have launched a capsule collaboration with John Lewis, and you can expect the same sculptural shapes, quirky details and reworked pearls that have become the brand's unmistakable signature.
M&S
Mirrored Strappy Wedge Heeled Sandals
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.
The Set
2 Pack 100% Cotton Strappy A-Line Mini Dresses White/bright Red
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.
With Nothing Underneath
Andros Dress: Fine Poplin, Mocha X Lucy Williams
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.
Atelier Ninety Five
Satin Wide Leg Trouser
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.
& Other Stories
Barrel-Leg Jeans
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...
Saint Laurent
Le Loafer Leather Penny Loafers in Burgundy
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.
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.
Dragon Diffusion
Japan Woven Tote Bag
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.
ALIGNE
Dana Semi-Sheer Draped Top
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.
COS
Elasticated Linen Barrel-Leg Trousers
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.
Balenciaga
Le City Medium Leather-Trimmed Suede Tote Bag in Brown
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.
The White Company
Ruched Seam Dress
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.
MANGO
Linen Toggle Waistcoat
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.
Rixo
Ursula Cotton Top in Orange
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.
Dear Frances
Capri Thong, Caramel Suede
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.
M&S
Striped Tie Front Top
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.
BURBERRY
+ Hunza G Faye Checked Original Crinkle™ Swimsuit
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.
Free People
We the Free Chelsea Vegan Suede Funnel-Neck Jacket
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.
ZARA
Linen Blend Halter Midi Dress
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.
M&S
Pure Cotton Lace Bib Detail Embroidered Top
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.
& Other Stories
Drawstring Twill Trousers
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.
Mint Velvet
Sofia Black Leather Strappy Sandals
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.
Free People
Denimist Dena Mid-Rise Flare Jeans
Throw an open check shirt over this, and it's my off-duty spring look, down to a tee.
Nobodys Child
Black Halterneck Lilijana Midi Dress
I have a feeling that this gorgeous shape would look amazing on every body, and dresses like that come once in a blue moon.
Alaïa
Alaïa Leather Slip-On Ballet Flats
Sorry derby shoes, but from the butter soft leather to the subtle branding, these slip-on flats have "elegant" written all over them.
Rails
x Giadzy Terena dress
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.
H&M
Short Trench Coat with Scarf
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.
Sézane
Maia Basket - Choco Openwork Raffia
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.
AllSaints
Jett Barrel Leg Illusion of Denim Trousers
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.
Loewe
Small Punch Hole Hobo in Raffia and Calfskin
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.
adidas Originals x ASOS
Adidas Originals X Asos Funnel Neck Track Top in Buttermilk Satin
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.
John Lewis x REJINA PYO
Barely There Leather Mule Sandals, Brown Chocolate
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.
