If you've read enough Who What Wear stories, you're probably all stocked up on wardrobe basics like white shirts and classic dresses. I know it might seem like the more exciting pieces are all designer, but I'm here to prove otherwise. I spent a solid couple of hours poring through H&M and Mango to find the pieces that I can only describe as fashion with a capital F.
The pieces I picked below are a bit bolder and more directional than the brands' usual fare, so they've got fashion person written all over them. Animal prints? Cool co-ords? This season's It Dress? Check, check and check. And don't worry; there are still some staples such as H&M's cult wide-leg trousers and Mango's knit dresses. Scroll down to shop the stylish new fall pieces from H&M and Mango.
