Here at Who What Wear UK, we firmly believe that you don’t need to part with serious cash to get your hands on that perfect mood-lifting look, and with both the high street and second-hand platforms offering up plenty of winning, affordable pieces right now, giving your wardrobe a refresh has never been easier. Add to this the fact that countless fashion brands are starting to realise the power of a well-made staple (rather than just transient trends), and you’ve got yourself a pretty ideal shopping situation.
Case in point: On my wish list this month is everything from Arket’s perfect Breton cardi and a pair of dreamy Mango loafers to a sharp vintage blazer and a super-versatile pair of straight-leg jeans. Together, they make the ideal new-season capsule. So much goodness, so little time. So if you’re looking for that little sartorial pick-me-up, keep scrolling to see which under-£100 hero buys I’m adding to my wish list this month.
