The Best High-Street Pieces We've Seen on Instagram This Week

At Who What Wear UK, we pride ourselves on predicting the next big item before it even makes it to the shop floor in order to get you the best possible insider info. We're keen, to say the least, which means we'll scour the posts of the thousands of fashionable people we follow on Instagram for unexpected high-street sightings to share with you (that is, after we've bought and tested our faves).

Our skills are so attuned that, more often than not, we'll have an inkling about a certain piece before it hits the big time. Other times, we do a quick scroll through our saved posts before we notice a burgeoning trend. Either way, you can trust that we're on it.

Right now, there are some beautiful items making a strong bid for inclusion in this gallery, from the ultimate pair of jeans to the accessories that look way beyond their high-street price tags. Keep reading to see our picks of influencers wearing the latest high-street items.
