Mango's new collection is the best yet and here's the proof

Say goodbye to your pay check

Say goodbye to your pay check

If you're shopping on the high street, you'll always find something to buy in the new Zara collection or at Topshop, but you know what? Mango is absolutely killing it this season, and once you see the new collection, it'll be your first port of call when you get paid. Trust me.

First off, there's the accessories, and boy are they good at the moment. In terms of bags, they've got a style for every occasion. Think smart leather tote bags for work, cute printed clutches for going out, and clear hold-alls with serious Off-White vibes for the weekend. And of course, basket bags are back in full force, so there's no point holding out on the trend.

Then the shoes, which are so pretty I want one of each. I'm especially in love with the vibrant satin mules which are the quickest way to update an outfit for the new season. Sandals are also starting to slowly drop, with this summer's footwear leaning towards a minimalist, athleisure aesthetic (try saying that three times in a row after a glass of wine).

While the accessories game is strong, that's not to say the main fashion isn't, because it is. You can expect stripes, stripes and more stripes in your wardrobe for SS18, be it a candy stripe dress (already on the wish list), monochrome blazer or green blouse.

You'll notice much more colour too, with millenial pink still going strong, but with major competition from acid green, which will look great mixed in with paired back shades, or with a bright pink for a statement look.
