At Who What Wear UK, we pride ourselves on predicting the next big item before it even makes it to the shop floor in order to get you the best possible insider info. We’re keen, to say the least, which means we’ll scour the posts of the thousands of fashionable people we follow on Instagram for unexpected high-street sightings to share with you (that is, after we’ve bought and tested our faves).
Our skills are so attuned that, more often than not, we’ll have an inkling about a certain piece before it hits the big time. Other times, we do a quick scroll through our saved posts before we notice a burgeoning trend. Either way, you can trust that we’re on it.
Right now, there are some beautiful items making a strong bid for inclusion in this gallery, from the ultimate pair of jeans to the accessories that look way beyond their high-street price tags. Keep reading to see our picks of influencers wearing the latest high-street items.
This rosette-embellished tank is proof that you can find designer-looking pieces on the high street—when I first spotted Marilyn wearing it, I assumed she’d found it on Net-a-Porter.
This gorgeous olive slip dress is so easy to dress up or down. Add heels and a blazer for date night or flip flops and a basket bag for the weekend.
Another winning pair of high-street trousers courtesy of Arket.
Nothing beats a linen mini on a super hot day, and this black iteration is incredibly timeless. Just add strappy sandals like Kim’s, and you’re good to go.
The whole WWW team just love Mango’s Simon Miller collaboration. You’d never guess Lucy William’s cute co-ord was from the high street, would you?!
The collection is selling down quickly, so make sure you snap up this vibrant set ahead of your next holiday.
This romantic dress is a summer staple you can slip on with sneakers or sandals. It also comes in ten other prints and patterns—yes, really.
Striped jumpers are essential year-round. Throw this versatile knit on when the temperature drops in the evenings.
Denim jackets really come into their own this time of year. I’d wear mine just as Danielle has, with a long denim skirt and silver jewellery.
These embroidered trousers are surprisingly versatile. Wear with trainers, heels or flat sandals on your next getaway.
As someone who wears gold hoops every day, I recognise a great pair when I see them.
This elegant suit will be perfect for formal summer events, but Kim has demonstrated just how easy it is to wear every day, too.
When in doubt, a long denim skirt will make your look feel infinitely cooler. Style this panelled Zara design with a tank top and sandals now, then add a chunky knit when autumn rolls around again.
Comfy and chic sandals that go with everything? What more could you want!
Whether you’re planning a beach trip or simply need to upgrade your tote collection, this canvas design will store all your essentials—and then some.
The wide leg silhouette is perfectly on trend for 2023, and the light airy linen will keep you cool during these warmer months.
Marina shows the chicest way to style your knit vest for summer. Later in the year, you can layer up with a shirt or top, but for now, wear as is.
Fashion editors and influencers alike rate Arket’s denim really highly, and this particular cut is arguably the most versatile.
Isn’t this just the perfect spring/summer midi dress? Gingham is a key fabrication for this time of year.
Denim maxi skirts are going to be huge news for the whole of 2023. We love how Taffy has paired her Free People style with boots and a blazer for extra polish.
A striped shirt is such a classic wardrobe staple. Wear with jeans, leggings, wide-leg trousers and skirts.
I just love the khaki-brown colourway of this midi skirt. Add a blazer for work or wear with a tank as above on holiday.
The first thing that stood out was the shape of this chic top. The high scoop neckline feels so elevated, whilst the front opening allows you to wear open or closed.
This short-length trench coat feels fresh for 2023, and it’s just as versatile as the OG silhouette. Layer it over shirting and a tee à la Anouk to create an interesting spring/summer look.
Until we can step out in breezy cotton dresses, I’m happy to compromise with this bright spring-green dress. The long sleeves and knitted fabric will keep you warm on those chillier days.
Is it just me, or are ‘nice tops’ having a moment? Similarly to Lizzy’s Mango halterneck, this romantic Zara number is all you need to instantly elevate an otherwise simple outfit.
There are few outfits a relaxed-fit shirt won’t work with. As the weather warms, we’ll be replacing our bulky outerwear with this lightweight layering piece.
