19 expensive-looking H&M, COS and Mango spring buys

It can’t be denied that the great British high street has come a long way in recent years. With each new season, our favorite affordable brands seem to outdo themselves, from adopting the latest trends to creating pieces that could easily cost three times their price. With spring and summer days remaining, my wardrobe is ready for expensive-looking warm weather shopping, and right now all of my favorite pieces come from the spring collections of H&M, COS, and Mango.

Whether renewing your workwear collection or planning reliable, attractive outfits for your weekend plans, the high street is always brimming with elegant options. The only downside is that searching for these pieces can take a lot of time and tracking of purchases that will remain in your wardrobe year after year. Thankfully, I spend all day discovering new buys to save you time and bring together the most worthwhile high street buys in one curated edit.

The arrival of brighter days has kicked my wardrobe straight into a new gear. Linen trousers are once again back as a wardrobe essential, and COS recently restocked them best selling pairNow with a bold barrel-leg cut. Dresses are back in our everyday wardrobe, and whether you’re looking for a slouchy throw-on style or a more fitted everyday dress, I’ve found a selection of elegant styles that feel incredibly current but will also buck the changing trends. Fine details note the seasonal shift as linen fabrics, raffia materials and suede textures return as the calling cards of the warmer months, and you’ll find these spring cues applied to a range of sleek pieces from shirting to accessories. Since the best high street pieces go by fast, let’s get straight to it. Keep scrolling to shop the hottest warm-weather looks from H&M, COS and Mango right now.
