Sometimes, when shopping the high-street, it can all too easy to get stuck in a rut of going to the same places again and again. This is why I like to mix it up every now and then and revisit stores that I haven’t frequented for a few seasons. For me this winter this manifested in a browse of Jigsaw, Whistles and Karen Millen’s new-in categories. Jigsaw in particular has taken-on a new style identity in recent years, still holding onto its timeless approach to design, but infusing pieces with a contemporary energy via bold prints and unusual silhouettes.
Whistles’s current collection is jam-packed with elevated basics, that firmly fall under the ‘low-effort’ category, yet will add interest via a pointed collar or dramatically pleated fabric. I’m obsessed with the Nino chambray shirt, which would look achingly cool paired with the colour-match jeans, and the shearling collar jacket, which will add retro appeal to your cold weather outfits. Karen Millen, meanwhile, should be your go-to for polished separates, particulary rendered in leather—the tan leather mac is sure to be a winner for many seasons to come. The tailoring is also worth checking out, whether you wear for work or use as a way to elevate your fave jeans. Ready? Scroll down to see and shop the Whistles, Jigsaw and Karen Millen I an’t get out of my mind.
