10 Luxe High Street Buys all under £100
Great high street dressing is rarely about chasing trends. Instead, it’s the pieces that look far more expensive than they are, the easy silhouettes, elevated fabrics and accessories that quietly pull everything together. From polished summer separates to expensive-looking dresses and barely-there heels, these are the affordable buys currently outperforming pieces three times the price.
M&S | One Shoulder Asymmetric Longline Top
An elegant asymmetric top that feels far more designer than high street. The fluid draping and soft ivory tone make it the sort of piece that works equally well with tailoring, denim or simple black trousers. £30 Shop here
M&S | Kitten Heel Toe Post Sandals
Minimal, sleek and very The Row-coded, these barely-there kitten heels instantly make summer outfits feel more polished. Ideal for everything from relaxed tailoring to holiday dresses. £46 Shop here
Massimo Dutti | 100% Linen Strappy Midi Dress
The perfect throw-on summer dress. Cut from breathable linen in a striking tomato red, this is exactly the kind of piece that works just as well in London with sandals as it does on holiday with gold jewellery and a tan. £99.95 Shop here
SOEK | Zahra Nude Sunglasses
A softly oversized frame in the chicest neutral tone, these sunglasses have a very quiet luxury feel. £49 Shop here
H&M | Tailored Waistcoat
Tailored waistcoats continue to dominate summer dressing and this dark chocolate version feels particularly expensive-looking. Wear alone with denim shorts now or layered over white trousers later into autumn. £19.99 Shop here
Whistles | Denim High Waisted Knee Length Shorts
Longer-line denim shorts are finally replacing ultra-short cuts and this pair gets the proportions exactly right. Relaxed, flattering and surprisingly versatile with tanks, shirts and oversized knits. £79 Shop here
Crew Clothing | Pure Cotton Midi A-Line Skirt
A navy cotton skirt that manages to feel both classic and current. The broderie-style cutwork hem gives it a slightly elevated finish while still keeping it easy enough for everyday wear or office days. £59 Shop here
Mango | Pointed Heel Sandals
Simple tan heels that work with absolutely everything. The clean shape and soft leather tone make them look far more premium than their price point suggests. £35.99 Shop here
Mango | Polka Dot Midi Dress
Polka dots are quietly returning this summer and this easy slip-style midi feels very ‘90s in the best possible way. Add gold jewellery and flat sandals for daytime or heels for dinner. £39.99 Shop here
French Connection | Irregular Hoop Earrings
Organic-shaped gold hoops that instantly make even the simplest outfit feel more considered. Exactly the kind of jewellery you end up wearing every day. £15 Shop here
