Phew! It's finally February which means Spring is on the horizon and new season collections are dropping into stores. After weeks of wading through messy sale racks, nothing beats a freshly merchandised shop floor with a crisp Spring palette.
When it comes to the High Street I'm incredibly picky. I look for designer details, lasting quality (to ensure pieces won't just end up in landfill after a few wears) and a sweet-spot price point. Combine all of these and you're onto a winner!
After working in the fashion industry for close to 20 years, I know where to shop and what to invest my money in. Whether shopping online or in store, being able to filter out the pieces that aren't worth my time is my expertise Whether in Zara (knowing how to spot which pieces come from their higher quality suppliers), in COS who nail tailoring and outerwear or at Marks & Spencer which is my go-to for the best cashmere and wardrobe basics.
If you don't have time to hit the High Street IRL then you have come to right place. Each week we will be sharing the top 15 new arrivals on the High Street, that are guaranteed to sell out fast. From the best transeasonal outerwear, including a chocolate trench to the hottest suede blazer on the High Street -plus the most expensive-looking accessories on the High Street. These 15 pieces are not to be missed!
Shop the best of the high street
Spring is on its way so time to invest in a transeasonal coverup - this chocolate trench is one of the chicest we've seen.
If you are new to H&M knitwear then listen up. Whether its the 100% cashmere jumpers or wool-mix cardigans that are so good they will have you mistaking them for a certain designer label - they sell out in hours so don't hang around.
Designer details for under £50 - whats not to love.
Update your denim collection for Spring with a pair of polished straight leg jeans. This is a stonewash-free zone.
I have had a love affair with white footwear since I was 3 years old. They elevate even the most boring of outfits and I love the sculptural heel most commonly seen with a designer price tag.
Effortlessly polished dresses - that will take you from the office to dinner - don't come along very often at this price tag. You've been warned.
Upgrade your white shirt, with this boat neck shirt. It will show off your shoulders and create a flattering silhouette.
Suede jackets are here to stay and will continue as one of the hottest coverups to wear this Spring.
Arket is one of Marie Claire's go-to High Street brands for investment leather footwear. These boots are the perfect every day heel height and always sell out fast.
Polished yet feminine in equal measure - this blazer is must-have in your workwear wardrobe. Layer with a camel polo neck whilst its still winter.
No one does leather handbags on the High Street quite like COS.
Make it western but elevated with this cream fringed number from &Other Stories.
Yes it may still be freezing but as any High Street expert knows - when you see a gem there is no time to lose.
Plaid is set to be huge for Spring. Pair this bright trench with a chunky grey knit and cargo pants.
You can't beat a knitted coord. Just add your favourite footwear and go.
