It's been a tough old year for the high street, but all we can say is thank goodness for online shopping, which has become such an important way to show our support for our favourite fashion brands. Yet despite their ongoing troubles, brands have continued to offer-up plenty of winning pieces that prove you don't have to pay over the odds for truly good design. Arket, Marks and Spencer and COS, in particular, have delivered for spring 2021, sticking to well-worn, stylish classics that truly make my heart sing.
The colour schemes are a personal highlight for the coming season, and I'm enjoying Arket's mix of retro browns, sage greens and pale yellows. COS, meanwhile, has gone for an unexpected splash of tie-dye prints on everything from tops to knitted vests, with stunning results. M&S, of course, just continues to do what it does best: Expect colour-block knits, layerable jackets and the odd hit of luxe leather. Together they make up the dreamiest spring capsule.
Scroll down to take a sneak peek into all that the high street has to offer this spring. March will be here before you know it, I promise.
