I think it is safe to say that the British high-street rarely disappoints. Whether you’re after a dress for a special occasion, great knitwear at affordable prices, workwear that will work hard for you way beyond the office or just classic pieces to add to your capsule wardrobe, it really does have (almost) everything you could ever need.

As a high-street aficionado, I take great pride in searching through the new-in pages on a daily basis of some of our best and brightest affordable brands and picking out the pieces that are really special. Consider that sensationally good bomber from Zara that went viral, Arket’s timeless blazer that both editors and influencers love and COS’s internet-famous crossbody bag. There's something for everyone and every style out there. The downside? It can be a real mission finding these noteworthy, designer-looking pieces, and it often takes a good amount of work (and a lot of time) to weed out the winners from those items we’d rather leave behind.
Now that these brands have dropped their winter lines, it's time to take another look at all of the pieces that look like they've walked straight off the runway and onto the high-street. I've put together a handy little edit of the best of the best from three of our favourite high-street brands: COS, Mango and H&M. Scroll on for the 24 pieces that I think you'll love, and that no one will know are from the high street. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
