As fashion editors, we’re often asked about how to curate the perfect wardrobe, and in truth, the answer is often the same: versatility. In an ideal world, your wardrobe should include some timeless, premium pieces mixed in among more affordable trend–led items (extra points for as many vintage and second-hand pieces you can rewear for good measure). Invariably it’s this mix of brands and price points that means your clothing will reflect your personality, and above all else, dressing in a way that is true to you is what makes fashion feel fun.
That being said, I totally understand the appeal of building up a capsule wardrobe just one store. Firstly, it’s an effective use of your time (no-one wants to traipse around the shops or endlessly scroll through every new-in section). And secondly, it’s more likely than not that it’ll also look seamlessly pulled together, as we know all too well that a brand’s honed aesthetic can make or break your chances of shopping success. One of the brands that we spend the most time looking at is ASOS. Although the site is a veritable treasure trove of new in pieces ranging from affordable takes on runway trends, to an easy one-stop-shop for everyday basics, there’s also an overwhelming amount to sift through, and that’s where we step in.
With everything from versatile separates to could-be-designer accessories, ASOS’ latest drop has everything you need to see out the cooler seasons in style. But don’t just take my word for it—let me show you. Below, I’ve assembled five expensive looking outfits entirely from ASOS that are guaranteed to work for every occasion in your social calendar. From coffee with friends to days in the office, keep scrolling to see and shop my very easy, pre-styled ASOS outfits.
