When it comes to shopping on the high street, there are a few shops that we can consistently rely on knowing that they will always deliver solid investment buys at a reasonable price-point. Whenever we are in need of premium-looking pieces at a moments notice, & Other Stories, Mango and Zara have become our go-tos, especially for the kind of pieces that stop people in the street to ask, 'where did you get that from?'
As the standard of high-street offerings continues to get better and better, & Other Stories, Mango and Zara still continue to lead the way with exciting new collaborations, exclusive collections, and whole lot of instant successes (in fact, see Sienna Miller and Katie Holmes' recent Mango moments as proof). As the summer collections are still going strong, but there's a sign of key autumnal items coming through, there's no better time to look up some of their best new feel-good pieces to add to your wishlist for a very fashionable month ahead.
Expect soft tailoring, sunshine shades and plenty of happy prints new in at Mango, bold event dresses and transitional weather must-haves from & Other Stories, and plenty of slick eveningwear, soft pastels and head turning accessories brand new to Zara. Keep scrolling for some of our favourite standout pieces you won't want to miss. Happy shopping!
MANGO
Goodbye stuffy suiting, we're all about an effortless relaxed fit.
When it comes to hoops, the bigger and more avant garde, the better.
It's impossible not to feel happier when soaking up the sun in a bold shade of summery yellow.
With only a few more weeks left to make the most of sandal season, these are an investment you'll wear year after year.
There is no better bag to sum up the ultimate accessory for summer 2022 than the raffia basket bag.
Prepare to be hot for the spot! Polka dots are back, and in a big way.
Still looking for a heatwave, humidity-proof warm-weather option? Look no further than a white, linen mini.
Just when you thought you'd seen every way to wear khaki shorts, Mango's slouchy fit pair manage to make the classic style feel entirely fresh again.
Step out in this season's hero colour, tangerine orange.
Not only is this easy-to-wear skirt a flattering maxi length, but check out the waist tie details that make it that much more special.
This is what we mean when say 'jeans and a nice top'. The perfect outfit for brunch, lunch, well, any occasion that gets to show off this knit.
& OTHER STORIES
Red alert! You're bound to see this major dress popping up all over your feed soon, so get ahead of the crowd.
The best pair of expensive looking sandals I've seen on the high-street for an age.
Because nothing feels better than calling off the search for the perfect pair of jeans.
Wedding guest? Birthday party? Dinner date? Whatever your plans, I just found the dress you're going to want to wear to everything.
Honestly, I can't believe there is a couture silhouette this good on the high-street.
Sure, a summer spent in swimwear feels good, but I'm looking forward to a crisp autumn getting cosy in this.
A vintage-inspired floral in a modern cut.
Everyone should own at least one classic trench, it's a certified wardrobe staple for a reason.
This dress looks as equally good dressed up for an evening with heeled sandals and a mini bag as it does with a studded clog for the day. Now that's versatility.
Simple gold accessories never go out of style.
I've loved this classic & Other Stories tote in cobalt blue and black, but the new white iteration might just be the best.
ZARA
A limited edition dress that's a definite buy now or regret later.
A good pair of long, wide-legged trousers have the instant leg-lengthening properties of wearing a pair of heels.
Before you give asymmetric dresses the cold shoulder, consider this fluid, satin version with accompanying neck tie. It's one of 10 great styles on the website now.
These leather sandals are designed with an Airfit latex foam insole for greater, flexible comfort.
There's something impossibly chic about this shade of pistachio green.
Update your everyday shoulder bag with an unmissable fringed bucket bag. It's a maximalists dream.
This is the kind of dress you hold onto for the most special occasions. And fear not, its fully lined so you needn't worry about your choice of underwear.
If there's one thing guaranteed to make any outfit 1000 times better, it's a statement earring.
The fit of these shorts makes them impeccable on their own, but as a full co-ord, this look is a knockout.
The platform heel continues it's reign as the party shoe of choice this year. Just wait until Christmas party season for them to really come into their own.
This delicate lace up shirt is reminiscent of a designer favourite, and for a fraction of the price.
Tailored shorts are timeless, and this high-waisted Bermuda pair come in black too, so you'll have a pair that work will every top in your wardrobe.
Summer dresses don't get more romantic than this soft shade of lilac and shirred waist detailing.
