As we went on our weekly (okay, daily) pilgrimage to our favourite retail sites, we were stopped in our tracks by three brands in particular. All high street, it’s Mango, COS and Zara that piqued our interest as soon as we entered the ‘new in’ sections. With fresh autumn buys coming in thick and fast, this is one of the best times of the year to snap up items that work not only for the new season, but many seasons to come as they’re often more transitional and therefore easier to slot into your looks during any given period.
To break it down for you, Mango is the destination right now for stand-out animal prints, designer-inspired shoes (you have to see the crystal pair we’ve found), and non-boring staples such as leather jackets with tassels and shirts with embroidery. When it comes to COS, of course there’s a few stripe sweaters that are bound to reach cult status on Instagram, along with tall boots that’ll take your summer dresses through to new season and a pink bag so good, the street style set would be impressed. And as for Zara, there’s a mesh dress and contrast cardigan we could see Kendall Jenner wearing, the coolest co-ord and cowboy boots we can’t stop thinking about.
Seeing as we’ve already done the scrolling, we’ve made it easier for you to shop by rounding up the 27 best bits from Mango, COS and Zara.
