Spring is almost in the air, and I, for one, could not be happier. After one grey day rolls into the next, my capsule wardrobe has quietly ended up a mix of charcoal, black and dark navy. Practical? Absolutely. Mood lifting? Not so much. With the UK officially breaking its latest rainy streak (all 50 consecutive days of it), this week’s sliver of sunshine inspired in me a very specific urge: a scroll of Zara, Mango and Reformation’s new-in sections. These three are my go-to brands when I need a high-quality high-street hit, and I’ve been shopping reliably and seasonally from them all for quite some time. With plenty of nostalgic trends and timeless basics often filling their shelves, these brands offer an affordable alternative to the luxury buys we all long to have in our rotations.
