Being that I'm a fashion editor, shopping comes with the job. I spend hours every single day scouring the contents of online retailers, trying to find the very best of what's out there. Because of that, it can be painful to stay on track with my budget, which hinders me from buying many of the designer items that tempt me on a daily basis. Luckily, I've become pretty good at finding pieces that look expensive but really aren't.
Here at Who What Wear, we don't gatekeep, especially when it comes to lower-priced finds that pack a lot of punch. That's why I'm sharing with you my running under-£200 shopping list, which includes everything from high street hero buys to luxury staples. Essentially, it includes exactly what you need to dress way outside of your price range without triggering a warning on your banking app.
