My friend recommended these "perfect" straight-leg jeans in the ME+EM sale - now my shopping basket is full of bargains

I used to be a skinny jean queen, but I must say looser silhouettes have well and truly won me over. The shape of these isn't too exaggerated if you're a baggy jeans beginner, and they'll look so chic teamed with a loafer and a lightweight knit.

Chocolate brown hues are still trending, and the vertical stripes on these jeans will help make your legs look longer. They're made from a non-stretch cotton denim, and curve at the ankle for a modern silhouette.

These have to be some of the most comfortable jeans you can buy. They've got 2% elastane in them to give them a good amount of stretch, and there's a zip fastening on one side so the waistband won't dig in.

A boucle jacket is one of the ultimate wardrobe investment pieces, and this ivory style will smarten up your jeans. Size up to allow for your best cashmere jumper to go underneath.

Suede jackets are everywhere this season, so I'm very surprised to see this chic studded option reduced in the ME+EM sale. It's available in sizes XS to L, but with 60% off you can expect it to sell out soon.

ME+EM make amazing blazers - between the double-breasted design, padded shoulders, peak lapels and pinstripe print, this olive-coloured jacket is perfection.

A denim shirt is one of the most versatile items you can add to your spring capsule wardrobe. Wear this one buttoned up with white jeans, or layer it up as an overshirt.

This pretty blouse will add boho vibes to blue jeans, plus the elasticated cuffs can be pushed back to adjust the sleeve length.

Looking for date night outfits? I can't believe this pinstripe waistcoat has been reduced in the sale, I've had my eye on it for months!

This is the dress you'll find yourself reaching for whenever you can't decide what to wear. The rib fabric gives it plenty of stretch, and the shirt collar gives it a smart edge. Wear it with your best white trainers for office days.

Denim dresses really come into their own at this time of year, and I love how this one is layered over a colour pop polo neck on the model to show you just how versatile it is. The zip front makes the neckline adjustable and best of all, it's got pockets.

If you're starting to think about occasions you've got coming up, this lace dress is a very chic option. The colour is stunning, and it's easy to wear thanks to the long sleeves, flattering shape and high neckline.

This clever floral dress comes with a bandeau in the same print, which you can wear underneath the deep V-neckline to adjust the amount of coverage. The delicate print is so pretty, plus it's 100% silk.

Personally, I prefer a long-sleeve dress, and the ruching on this one is perfectly placed for a flattering finish. It's available in UK sizes 6 to 16, but won't be around for long!

The optional tie neck detail on this dress is very Kate Middleton, and I love the papaya orange colour. Again, this one is 100% silk, and you can adjust the neckline.

This versatile all-in-one is bound to become a go-to for travelling or running around. Roll up the trousers, add a pair of comfortable trainers and you're good to go!

This all-in-one really does live up to its name, since it will take you from commute to office to evening with only a change of shoes. The fabric is a wool blend, and if you order it before 4pm, you can get next working day delivery in the UK.

Velvet is for life, not just for Christmas, so this sumptuous jumpsuit works all year round. The extra wide leg silhouette is very flattering, and it's also available in black.

If you don't like to deviate from the favourite old jeans and a blazer formula, swap your white T-shirt for this knit on chilly days.

I'm sold purely on the name 'cocktail cardigan'. With striking gold buttons and voluminous sleeves, this knit is cosy but glamorous.

This will add a really refreshing pop of colour to any outfit if your wardrobe is just black, grey and navy. It will tick one of the biggest spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026 off your list, too.

Sporty but smart side stripe trousers are another thing ME+EM does particularly well, and these will work perfectly with the bomber jackets that are everywhere this season.

The illusion panels down the side of these trousers will boost your confidence and make you walk a little bit taller. Team them with a crisp white shirt and ballet flat for a minimalist finish.

A real leather midi skirt is a hefty investment, but when it's 50% off, you can rest assured you're getting a good deal. You'll be wearing this buttery soft beauty for years to come.

The ideal little crossbody bag, this also doubles up as a clutch bag. The croc finish looks so expensive, and the colour is that bit more interesting than black or tan.

Western boots are huge news right now - did you see the Princess of Wales debut her new Jimmy Choo boots just recently? These have a manageable blocky heel and a sleek shine to them.

Did you know that ME+EM makes swimwear? I love the Deep Pomegranate Red colour of this one, and according to the website it's "infused with four-way stretch for the ultimate fit and comfort, while the layered construction offers UV protection and doesn't wrinkle or pill".
