The high street is where I do the majority of my shopping, so I'm always excited when I'm given the opportunity to cherrypick the best of the best to share with you. Fast fashion can often be branded as "cheap", while others argue it encourages disposable shopping habits but I truly believe that, with a discerning eye and the utmost consideration, you can find pieces on the high street that you love, will go the distance in terms of quality, and will never date, all wrapped up on our Great British high street.
As such, below, I've honed an edit of what I consider to be the best high street items of 2023, all of which deliver in terms of timelessness. Casual yet polished, these are pieces I know I'll get the wear of, not just this year, but for many more to come. Whether you buy your clothes from H&M or The Row, this should ultimately be the deciding factor in any purchase you make and will guide you to making more sustainable shopping decisions, whatever your budget may be.
From wear-anywhere dresses to elevated accessories and tailoring that looks much more premium than its price tag and shoes you'll reach for time and time again, scroll on to see this fashion editor's wish list of the best high street items of 2023.
