While the summer weather may have been fleeting, the questionable temperatures have meant that I can look into buying pieces that I can take with me into the new season. Indeed, I'm ready to throw open my wardrobe doors and proceed to fill my rails with the chicest transeasonal items going.

Look at any new-in section and I'm sure you'll agree the fresh clothes are of excellent calibre, though there are three high-street hotspots in particular that I keep going back to: COS, Mango and Marks and Spencer. Indeed, they couldn't be more different in style, but together, these brands have every piece I could wish for.
To save you precious time, I've whittled down the 12 best buys you need to see from each store. From wedding guest worthy dresses and silk separates to gorgeous knitted co-ords and sleek sandals, keep scrolling to see and shop my wish lists from these three high-street stores.
