12 ME+EM new-in pieces worth buying now – the light blues and rich browns work beautifully for autumn
Irresistible knits, elegant dresses and autumnal hues make this collection one to invest in
ME+EM's new-in collection has caught my eye for its beautiful colour palette, with soft blues sitting alongside rich brown shades, and wardrobe heroes that feel so chic for the transitional period. Easy-to-wear knits, sharp tailoring and flattering dresses- several pieces are making their way onto my wishlist.
The British clothing brand really outdoes itself when it comes to polished, elevated designs, and these new-in pieces are no exception. And although we are still very much in the throes of summer, this collection is a great place to browse if you want to prepare for the cooler months ahead.
What stands out about these new-in pieces is that most items can be styled and worn in the heat, including elegant blouses, shirts and floral dresses, and then reworked when the weather cools. ME+EM have also subtly integrated lightweight knits and sharp tailored pieces - key wardrobe pieces for later on that will layer over the more summer pieces to transition them to autumn.
Knitwear might be the last thing on your mind right now, but this striped piece is sure to sell out before winter.

ME+EM's new-in collection makes this particularly easy, with plenty of pieces that feel right for now, but that can be styled in new ways as the weather cools. Look for colours, particularly neutrals that don't feel too trend-heavy. Tan, cream, white, chocolate and sky blue are all safe bets when it comes to timely colours that are still set to be big in the coming months.
