As far as high-street labels go, few brands have as many fashionable fans as Arket. Relied upon for classic styles and minimalist staples, the brand’s offering feels extremely elevated, which is likely why so many influencers and editors turn to Arket for their affordable closet essentials.
Recently, we’ve been keeping a running tally of all the chic Arket staples the style set has been loving, and from stripes to shirting, there are more than a few pieces on the brand’s website that have been given the influencer stamp of approval.
Minimalist queen Annemiek Kessels (@modedamour) is just as obsessed with the brand’s striped jumpers as we are and Marisa Martins owns a number of Arket button-down shirts, which are perfect for both wsummer workwear and as cover-ups on holiday. And several influencers have been seen sporting the brand’s chic tailoring, which could easily pass as designer. When it comes to minimalist wardrobe staples, Arket is definitely the fashion fan’s go-to.

Whether it’s for running Sunday errands (like Anne), or on your next holiday, Arket’s linen pieces go unbeaten in summer. These striped drawstring trousers are the piece of choice for influencers, but I’ve also seen the shirts and short co-ords around a lot, too.
The brand’s coveted linen trousers are back in stock for 2023.
This perfect shirt always sells out by mid summer.
Arket’s short sets were all over Instagram last summer and I’m sure they will be again for 2023.
Arket’s blazers are famous within the industry as being equal to some of the most expensive designer versions out there. I personally have their classic Hopsack style in black and beige and they’ve lasted so well—I recommend it to everyone. These may be ‘trending’ on Instagram right now, but there’s never a moment when they aren’t TBH.
This is a workwear capsule essential, and the most expensive-feeling blazer on the high street (trust me, I have it in two colours).
Such a classic.
The linen version is perfect for summer.
We might be heading into summer, but it pays to remember we still live in the UK, and a striped jumper is the perfect cosy piece to throw on after days at the beach on your next staycation, or over your shoulders on chillier evenings in the city. Arket’s striped jumpers sellout again and again, because of how great they are—in both quality and style.
The jumper so many influencers own!
The boucle texture is so cosy but not heavy, making it perfect for wearing in summer.
I can imagine this looking great over some white linen trousers, or denim shorts.
Without doubt, Arket does the best tailoring on the high street, and this extends to its wide-leg trouser offering. The quality is the best you’ll find at this price point.
A classic you’ll never regret.
I love the slightly lower waist on these, which make them feel really modern.
The tailoring details on these are so expensive-looking.
I did a whole article recently, about how great this particular straw Arket bag is that Francesca’s wearing. I’ve since bought it and at this point it’s going to have to be surgically removed from my hip. But it’s not a one hit wonder, there’s a number of Arket summer totes that influencers are loving right now, and they’re all here for you to bag (sorry) now.
It’s not often a hands-free crossbody fits so much in.
This elevated neutral is gorgeous for spring/summer.
Perfect for throwing everything in when you travel, and it doubles as a great beach bag.
Another trending Arket bag that has been restocked for 2023.
To be honest, I would recommend all Arket jeans. I personally love the Jade slim jeans, and the Rose cropped straight legs. But it’s the looser leg styles that are really trending right now, in line with the silhouette becoming the coolest to be seen in. I tried them recently and can confirm they’re the perfect grown-up “baggy” jeans.
The ultimate loose pair of jeans.
I love the white for summer.
Cargo details are also trending right now.
A crisp shirt is so useful all year round, but they come into their own in spring/summer. Arket’s versions are the high street style favoured by so many fashion people, including Marisa above. You can’t go wrong.
A capsule-wardrobe classic.
Stripes are always a good idea.
I love this paired with white or cream denim.
This striped knitted dress has been all over my Instagram this spring. By some sort of miracle it’s still available, along with a number of other easy summer dresses that I’m predicting will also be extremely popular in the coming months.
