The Best Bags, Shoes and Dresses from Mango, COS and Whistles to Land This Week
Ah, spring, it's good to see you again. The evenings are brighter, the temperatures are rising, and there's a joie de vivre in the air that comes from starting a fresh, new season. And one thing that we love about the beginning of spring is a whole new way to dress. I love getting dressed up. Weddings, events, post-work drinks—you name it, and after a long, dark winter of cosy layers and weatherproof clothing, there's nothing quite like stepping out in your first pair of sandals of the season (I wore mine last week.)
That being said, there needs to be an ease to getting dressed in the morning, and not every day has the luxury of an hours getting ready time, so if there's one formula that will never let you down, it's a good dress + shoes + a bag. It really is that simple. And as I scoured through the new-in sections of some of my favourite high-street brands, three stood out in particular for their attention-grabbing selection of these instant-outfit components: Mango, COS and Whistles.
If you're looking for occasionwear, Mango should be on your list. From floor-skimming maxis to statement heels, it's got you covered for parties, weddings and everything in-between. Then of course, there's COS the kings of casual dressing, and if you're looking for the kind of stretch jersey that's dressy enough to wear for work and the weekend, you're gonna want to look up their midi-dresses, perfectly paired with leather sandals. And last but no means least, Whistles are bringing the colour this season, so those who are drawn to bold brights will love their punchy palette and pretty detailing the perfect dresses for a sunny spring.
So, if you're tired of traipsing through the high street looking for what to wear this spring, I've put together an edit of the very best new pieces that will make looking put-together a breeze. Just pick a piece from each category and mix and match to assemble your outfit. You're welcome.
