21 New Buys From Zara, Other Stories and COS That You'll Mistake for Designer

It would impossible to count the number of times that I've been stopped in the street and asked where an item I was wearing was from and the answer has been high street. What usually follows is surprise, but after years of mixing affordable pieces with some savvy designer investment buys, I think I've mastered the art of high/low dressing in a way that makes sense. In all honesty, the quality of the high street's offerings has improved so significantly over the years that I'm always confident in its ability to deliver accessible takes on runway pieces (helping me to elevate my wardrobe in the process), but none more so than Other Stories, Zara and COS.

We're just getting into the winter season and already Zara and COS have been serving up fresh best-sellers and invigorating styles for the new season. Elegant coats, wide-leg trousers and beloved classics have all caught our eye. And, if you are searching for pieces perfect for the beginning of winter, look no further than Other Stories. Scouring their new-in reads like a who's who of predictable bestsellers, from the knitwear to the bags that look far more expensive than their high-street price tag.

Should you be on your lunch break, scrolling of an evening or looking for something exciting to liven up your commute, these are 21 pieces from Other Stories, Zara and COS that I think you'll love, and believe me when I say no one will know that they're high street.
