Here's the lowdown on our favourite high-end high street brands that really spruce up our otherwise thrifty wardrobes.
As much as we love a good bargain, sometimes it’s nice to really splash out on a proper investment piece and for this, we turn to the higher end of our Great British High Street.
So, without further ado, here are woman&home’s picks.
Whistles
One of the most luxe brands on the high street, Whistles’ collections always feature right at the top of our wish-lists. Although you can pay up to £1,500 for a sheepskin coat, some of the pieces are really reasonably priced and will last you for years.
Right now, we love this gorgeous red rollneck, which gives a winter staple an upgrade, and will brighten your outfit even in the gloomiest months. We also love this gorgeous teal cord dress, which would be perfect paired with a pair of knee high boots.
Soft Roll Neck Wool Sweater, £119
Boden
For the last few seasons, Boden have been responsible for creating the ultimate ‘It’ shoe. This winter, it’s all about these gorgeous pointed-toe pumps, embellished with beaded bows. There are also these perfect knee high suede boots, which come in classic black, bright red, and our favourite – midnight blue.
Kennford Knee High Boots, £190
AllSaints
Classic with a reputation for trademark shapes and styles, AllSaints is our go-to for splurging on a gorgeous leather jacket. If you fancy something a little different, check out this stunning burgundy hued leather jacket for an injection of colour! We also love this elegant camel trench.
Dalby Biker Leather Jacket, £298
Reiss
For chic officewear, Reiss should be your first port of call. From classic tailored pieces with a twist to totally wedding guest-worthy outfits, add Reiss to your list of brands worth the money. This intricately patterned skirt would be perfect when paired with a plain white tee, while the black and cream shirt can subtley elevate any office outfit.
Casper Twin Pocket Printed Blouse, £135
Gabriella Knitted Zig-Zag Midi Skirt, £145
Russell & Bromley
We adore Russell & Bromley for great quality shoes in classic styles. Often bringing back the same styles season after season (with a little update), you know you’re not just cashing in on a passing trend. We’ve had our eye on these lovely loafers for a while now, as well as these gorgeous lace-up brogues.
Abacrombie Lace-Up Oxford, £215
Hobbs
Hobbs is the ultimate destination for well-made classics that can form the basis of any chic wardrobe. We adore this high necked shirt, which adds a gorgeous touch of Victoriana to any outfit. And this deep green cross-body bag is the perfect size to fit all of your essentials.
Karen Millen
Great for occassionwear, Karen Millen is also a go-to for good quality basics with a twist. Always adding a touch of something a little different to their designs, the brand is a no brainer if you want to make a subtle statement. This stunning wrap skirt would look amazing with a simple white tee, while these red tailored trousers would work perfectly with a plain black rollneck jumper.
