We made it. June is here! And with it comes warmer weather and sunnier days. Hello heatwave! Now, fresh new-season drops are arriving from both the high street and designers, which means a whole host of new inspo and ideas for how we want to dress for the season ahead. There are three high-street brands in particular, though, that we on the Who What Wear UK team always turn to first when it comes to refreshing buys: Arket, & Other Stories and H&M. And needless to say, they have seriously impressed us this week.
Key buys inevitably sell out further into the season, so now is the best time to snap them up, and there’s plenty here for you to choose from. We’re turning to expensive-looking classic separates, mostly—from bretons to linen trousers—but there’s a few statement pieces and hero dresses added in for good measure.

Arket’s linen shirts are some of the best on the high street.
A wide-leg linen trouser will work hard in your wardrobe. Wear with a bandeau top as above, a tee, a shirt or a blazer.

There’s something very off-duty-model about this ribbed midi dress.
