High Street Haul: Perfect Spring Picks From The High Street Big Five

Five for five: our top five SS23 picks from our top five high street brands.

As our thoughts turn to spring – and even the prospect of holidays twinkling on the horizon – so too do we begin to consider whether our wardrobes are equal to the incoming weather. The Great British high street is, as ever, playing a strong hand, and these are the pieces that we’re envisaging making space for in our closets right now.

Cos

Our forever default choice for clean lines and sharp cuts, simplicity is king at Cos and for that, we love it so.

H&M

Fresh stripes and relaxed linens usher in spring/summer at H&M – and all at pocket-friendly prices too.

Zara

The devil is in the detail at Zara this season. Its accessories are right on point for summer.

The White Company

We can always rely on The White Company to nail perfect relaxed summer Hamptons-riffing chic in elegant whites, beiges and blacks.

M&S

If you still associate M&S’s sartorial offering with big knickers and/or your grandmother, then it’s time for a re-think (though we will forever love it for the comfy undies). Its collaborations are going from strength to strength, and its midi tea dress game is one of the strongest on the high street.
