I'm skipping the January sales to shop these 10 timeless new Mango arrivals

When it comes to the High Street I am incredibly discerning. 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 modus operandi. 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.

When it comes to Mango, over the years I have found some great pieces, from the perfect camel coat to a designer-inspired tweed twinset and its sell out faux fur jacket - not forgetting Victoria Beckham's iconic collaboration with the brand.

Mango consistently caters to OTM trends in a way that feels equally timeless. When it comes to ticking off Autumn/Winter 2024's most popular trends - chocolate brown, barn jackets and square-toe biker boots just to name a few - you are guaranteed to find something to give your outfits a fresh new season feel.

New year sales are extremely tempting, and it's easy to get caught up in making panic buys. But it's Mango's fresh everyday collection, Into The New, that has really caught my eye. Filled with timelessly elegant outerwear and understated leather accessories, it really brings the concept of a capsule wardrobe to life. The only downside is that the pieces I found in the new in section really won't be around for long.
