As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so I thought it would be handy to have this space where I’m able share with you the very best pieces I come across and the shopping picks I’m personally adding to my wish list.
This month, I’m looking forward to the imminent spring. With more blue skies appearing and noticeably longer days, I just can’t help but get excited for the season ahead. In fact, I think spring is my favourite season of all—the daffodils, the trench coats, the striped knits and that first morning when it’s warm enough to leave the house in just a blazer over a T-shirt. Bliss!
The current new-in sections seem to be reflecting my mood (or my mood is feeding off the new-in sections?). Either way, despite there still being a chill in the air, there’s plenty of options for introducing a lighter feel to our wardrobes already. For me, spring is all about classics, so I plan on investing in only a few really good quality items I can pair with my existing basics that I know I’ll want to pull out next year as well.
Arket is leaning into crisp capsule pieces and fresh stripes (yes—that famous jumper is back in stock) with a new drop that’s so good I could avoid shopping anywhere else all season. But, that would mean missing out on other statement pieces to elevate my existing wardrobe, like Loewe’s logo tank which I know I’ll wear to death and easily get my money’s worth. I’ve also been saving up for Loewe’s puzzle bag for a while now and the new grained-leather version in this perfect ‘greige’ may just be too good to resist any longer.
The other investment item on my spring wish list is a pair of designer loafers. I’ve been umm-ing and ahh-ing over which are the best, and I’ve landed on Saint Laurent’s crisp white ‘Le Loafers’. They have a subtle logo and a more timeless, less chunky design to ensure they’ll last me for many seasons to come. Obviously, I’ll be peppering these key pieces in amongst high street winners, like H&M’s new expensive-looking blazer which will no doubt sell out in minutes.
