bigger is better

When it comes to finding the right silhouette, embracing oversized outerwear is key. That’s why we love this contrast stitch jacket in deep green from The Room Antwerp to add that voluminous vibe. Style it with a classic pair of jeans, cut-out top or a mini skirt and boots. Sorted!

Buy it for £170.

salt & vinegar or prawn cocktail?

The Meal Deal is a British cultural staple. If you’ve ever judged someone’s sad ham, Walker’s ready salted and bottled water combo, or found yourself finessing your own holy trinity, maybe you’ll want to own this Percival shirt which pays homage to the customisable cuisine classic. Pairing a crisp packet design with cottagecore-style cross stitching, this piece will gain you style points on the front row as well as in the lunch aisle of Tesco.

Buy it now for £189.

down and dirty

These days it’s cool to not look super polished, y’know? We’re into these ultra-baggy jeans from Onrushw23fh that come complete with a brown y2k dirty wash, while the relaxed fit gives them that streetwear edge. Just add your favourite trainers and a vest top.

Buy them for £258.10.

perfect for catfishing

We love an eye-catching print, and these fishnet flares in this season’s go-to colour – red – would look great in your wardrobe. Style them with a simple baby tee, throw an oversized black hoodie over the top and you’re good to go.

Buy them now for £157.

blooming great

Underwear as outerwear is hot for 2024. And bloomers are the latest incarnation of the trend that’s eclipsed bike shorts, with these cute satin shorties being our pick. Fruity Booty supposedly spent an entire year developing this ruched pattern with their seamstresses in Portugal, so you know they’re legit.

Buy them (as soon as they’re available) for £60.
