Oysho is the best high street store you’ve never heard of - here are my 12 must-have items
From innovative sportswear to the best swimsuits this brand will be your new go-to


Oysho is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to fashion; however, it's about time that secret got shared. With comfy loungewear, luxurious linen, and innovative sportswear, this brand will become a go-to for your wardrobe essentials.
If you're looking for a summer capsule wardrobe refresh, Oysho is the name you need to know. Positioned as a refined and stylish brand, it's quickly becoming a go-to for fashion lovers seeking high-quality staples.
Originally founded in Barcelona, Oshyo has actually been around since the early 2000s and is owned by Inditex, making it a sister brand of Zara, alongside the likes of Massimo Dutti. So if your wardrobe consists of the best Zara jeans and other brand staples, Oshyo will quickly become your new go-to.
They are making waves in the fashion world with refined colour palettes and versatile sportswear pieces - including their famous compression leggings - as well as their commitment to sustainable practices. Their collections combine contemporary design with everyday function, and they use technology to create innovative materials, such as their Comfortlux fabric.
There are a limited number of Oysho stores here in the UK - they recently just opened a second, and both are in London. However, purchasing and returning online couldn't be easier.
woman&home's Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr says "I've just come back from a trip to Spain and alongside my non-negotiable visit to Zara, I popped into an Oysho store. I was seriously impressed with the sportswear and linen in particular, as well as the affordable price tags. If I'd have had more room in my suitcase, I would have returned home with a lot more!"
We've chosen some of our top picks, from comfy linen pieces ideal for summer work outfits to some of the best swimwear for your body shape, plus we've included some sale must-haves too.

Is Oysho owned by Zara?
Oysho and Zara have the same owners, the Inditex group. This means that they are sister brands, however, they both have distinctly different designs, production processes and approaches. Oysho distinguishes itself from Zara through an emphasis on eco-friendly materials, making it even more appealing.
Is Oysho a good brand?
Oysho's emphasis on innovation and quality for sports and leisure wear makes them an excellent brand. They offer a range of materials that are designed for performance and comfort, making them ahead in the leisure wear sector. Plus, their designs are stylish and refined, making them a go-to place for wardrobe staples.
Does Oysho run big or small?
If you are unsure of what size you need, make sure you look at the Oysho sizing guide before purchasing an item, there are details on specific garment sizes, and it's easy to navigate.
Since it's an Inditex brand our Zara size guide might help you find the perfect fit too.
