I Scrolled Through Thousands of New-In High Street Buys—These 6 Trends Stood Out

Good news: the weather is on the turn. Sure, we're not whipping out the factor 50 just yet, but with the brighter days and earlier sunrises, our minds are firmly set on spring 2024. As shopping experts, we know that the most versatile and hardest-working wardrobes rely upon a high-low mix, and lucky for us, the new-in sections of our favourite high-street stores are fully stocked with fresh arrivals. As ever, it’s my goal to bring shopping advice to you as concisely as possible, saving you scrolling time and highlighting the styles that are sure to prove themselves as worthy additions to your wardrobe.

So, what's on the cards for spring? High-street heavyweights from H&M to COS are celebrating the arrival of warm weather with linen heroes to add an airy lightness to our most trusted pieces, and if tailoring is your preference, there's an array of smart buys in spring-ready silhouettes and shades to salute the change in weather whilst retaining a polished edge throughout. Denim continues to be a key feature, and the new season brings fresh takes on the material, from waistcoats to crisp denim skirts.

With warmer days comes a chance to show a little leg, and the new drops are brimming with dresses for all occasions, from events to every day. Finally, pretty details accent collections, adding a sweet edge through broderie anglaise, drapery, smocking and bows. Plus, I was so impressed by the array of brilliant accessories on offer that I just had to add a few for you to see.
