I've always been a high-street girl, but never before has our country's affordable fashion offering looked so good. As well as the brands I've been shopping since my teens (think Warehouse and Marks and Spencer), the last few years have seen other shops like Other Stories land on Brit soil, which have broadened our shopping horizons tenfold.
I scout the new-in sections of these brands daily, forever whittling down the best pieces. And now that winter is upon us, there are three stores that stand out as leading the cold-weather charge.
Josephine wears a chunky-knit jumper and a pair of vegan leather trousers, both from Topshop.
Topshop, Mango and Arket are serving up some of the best winter attire out there. From statement coats and cosy knits to throw-on dresses and excellent boots, the three stores together have everything you need to compile the perfect winter wardrobe. Keep scrolling to see and shop the best winter buys from Topshop, Arket and Mango. I promise that the prospect of single-figure temperatures won't seem quite so daunting after you see these pieces…
