ME+EM doesn't believe in fast fashion, but these new in pieces are selling out so quickly
Yes, there's such a thing as the perfect capsule wardrobe, and ME+EM is the place to find it
ME+EM certainly isn't fast fashion. In fact, it's something of an antidote in a world of constant new collections landing online, leading to an overwhelming amount of choice.
But that doesn't mean things move slowly. In the time it's taken me to choose my favourite new arrivals from the website for you, lots of sizes have already sold out!
There's no doubt the British clothing brand has had a stratospheric rise to the top since its launch in 2009. It's a trajectory that can be attributed to the incredibly clever clothing designs and has, no doubt, been helped along the way by famous fans like the Princess of Wales. Now there are more than 20 stores in the UK and a flagship on Madison Avenue in New York, thanks to its functional yet flattering collections, created with real women in mind.
We're talking investment pieces here rather than impulse purchases, but I can personally vouch for the fact that they're worth every penny. Where to start, you ask? ME+EM is second to none for occasion dresses, smart tailoring and easy-to-wear blouses.

How beautiful is the cinnamon colour and combination of textures on this dress? The flared from the waist fit is really flattering, and praise be, it's got pockets. You could dress this up for a summer wedding (the cotton and jersey fabrics will keep you cool) or go casual with your most comfortable trainers.
Available in chocolate brown, blush pink and classic white, this is the kind of spring capsule wardrobe essential you'll want in every colour. The cotton fabric is lightweight and breathable as we head into the warmer months, and the little sleeves offer a great amount of coverage for the tops of your arms if you prefer that to strappy camisoles.
Another does-it-all dress, this one combines blue and brown, and the result is beautiful. There's a shirred back panel for a comfortable bit of stretch, and the ankle-skimming length will show off your favourite shoes perfectly.
Argyle has been everywhere in the last couple of months, and this is a spring-ready take on the trend. Every time I check, another size has sold out, so don't wait another moment to add it to your shopping basket.
Every wardrobe needs a classic shirt, and this one is made from an airy seersucker fabric. Size up and wear this over your swimwear on the beach, before pairing it with tailored trousers for a day at the office back home. Talk about versatile...
Fisherman sandals are my favourite summer shoe, and 2026 is all about suede. These are available in UK sizes 3 to 9, with some half sizes up for grabs. According to the ME+EM site, there's a "padded footbed for all-day comfort" and "an elasticated roller buckle for a flexible, adjustable fit."
Snap up one of the last remaining sizes of this crop jacket while you can. The textured fabric could give Chanel a run for its money, and the neat fit is so sophisticated. If full price is a bit more than you can afford right now, check out the ME+EM sale to start your love affair with this brand.
As much as I love these neat little raffia bags I keep seeing, I'm someone who needs a roomy tote to carry everything but the kitchen sink. Under £200 is pretty impressive for a Quiet Luxury handbag.
If you're new to the magic of ME+EM can I suggest trying a pieces like this £65 tee? It won't break the bank, but since it's the ultimate top to wear with jeans, you're guaranteed to come back to ME+EM for more!
You might have spotted these snake print flats in a lot of the ME+EM model shots. And that's because they're the shoe that works with every outfit! Snakeskin is a more subtle alternative to leopard print, and the ankle strap will keep these firmly on your feet - a real plus if you struggle with classic ballet pumps like I do.
A maxi skirt is a must-have in the summer months, and the striking print on this skirt is so eye-catching. The waistband is stretchy and shirred, plus the pockets are designed to be bulk-free. Genius! Pair this with a simple T-shirt or smarten it up with a crisp white shirt.
This twist front dress definitely looks like it should cost ten times the price. The olive green colour will complement all skin tones and the "crease-less linen" fabric makes it a front-runner for packing in your holiday suitcase.
