We've found 50 staple pieces under £50 to add to your bank holiday wardrobe immediately (reminder: sun is coming)
Though we can finally venture out to the physical shops, the thought of facing the Zara crowds does still make us squirm a tad. But that hasn't put us off entirely. We're continuing to shop the great British high street from the comfort of our own sofas, because luckily, our favourite brands are satisfying the sartorial cravings that come with the dawn of a new season (anyone else besides themselves with excitement for summer?!) by delivering on-trend pieces directly to our doors.
If you’re feeling guilty about your desire to shop in such unprecedented times - don’t. If you have the means to shop and want to, you should, to boost the economy and keep people in jobs. And for the sake of your mood. A recent study in the Journal of Consumer Psychology found that retail therapy is proven to make people happier, as well as fight sadness and stress. Especially in times of uncertainty. You know what to do.
Guilt banished, we’ve compiled the ultimate edit of must-have pieces from our favourite high street brands - from ASOS to Mango (where you can save money on your next purchase with our Mango discount codes); Zara to & Other Stories. Alongside a designer investment or two, these killer pieces will give your wardrobe the refresh it has been craving.
This month, our attention has turned to pieces we'll be able to wear as we venture back out into the real world. Yanno: blazers for a return to the office, summer dresses for bank holiday picnics in the park and white t-shirts as the ultimate stalwart staple.
As seen on the SS21 catwalks of Chanel, Prada, Christopher John Rogers, Loewe, Giambattista Valli and Proenza Schouler, monochrome is experiencing something of a renaissance this season, offering up a cool-girl take on warm weather dressing. While the aforementioned are the labels to make a beeline for if you have a little more money to spend, the high street is following suit if not. Mango dropped a monochrome open knit work cardigan which we absolutely cannot wait to pair with our high-waisted jeans, while & Other Stories' ribbed cut-out turtleneck will see you from office to date night in one fell swoop. Paired with some killer white jeans, obvs.
Elsewhere, lilac remains a popular hue, with & Other Stories, Arket and Mango all dropping gorgeous lavender-inspired garments. We're snapping up H&M's linen mini dress and cropped halterneck top before they (undoubtedly) sell out.
