Where I Turn To on the High Street for These 13 Classic Items

Arket's T-shirts are the best around (even better than designer styles). Trust us—we've tried, and we've tested. 

It has to be Boden for classic Breton tops. They come in lots of different colours, and the cotton always washes really well and feels so expensive.

Mango's faux-leather trousers are so good we almost don't want to let you in on the secret. There are usually lots of style options, from full-length and wide-leg to tailored and cropped, but it's these straight ones we've got our eyes on for 2022.

Weekday's jeans use the most expensive-feeling denim we've found on the high street. Plus, they all use organic cotton, which is much better for the planet. 

H&M's wide-leg trousers are, in our opinion, the best on the high street thanks to the affordable price and range of options and sizes. 

It's no secret we love M&S cashmere here. It feels super luxurious and lasts really well. 

& Other Stories always has the most expensive-looking coats on the high street, hands down. 

For a classic, slightly oversized blazer, it has to be Arket. This Hopsack style is woven in Italian mills and could easily pass for designer. It comes in five colours, too!

COS knows a thing or two about chic tailoring. That's why all its shirts‚ from classic poplin to fluid silks, are the best around. 

For dresses you can throw on and feel instantly comfy and polished, we always recommend Free People. 

Whether it's sleek leather minis like this one or floaty pleated versions, Karen Millen does excellent skirts, and most come in a plus-size option. 

It's a fact: Reiss's jumper dresses are the most premium-looking on the high street. Can you believe this slouchy cream one isn't from a premium brand? We can't either. 

We all know Zara does many things very well, but the whole WWW UK team agreed that its boot offering is hands down the best.
