Here at Who What Wear UK, we firmly believe that you don't need to part with serious cash to get your hands on that perfect mood-lifting look, and with both the high street and secondhand platforms offering up plenty of winning affordable pieces right now, giving your wardrobe a refresh has never been easier. Add to this the fact that countless fashion brands are starting to realise the power of a well-made staple (rather than just transient trends) and you've got yourself a pretty ideal shopping situation.
With this in mind, I've created an edit of some of the best affordable pieces to add to your capsule wardrobe now, including basics and spring staples that will work really hard for you, and are all under £100. In the mix is some particularly good linen pieces that I'll be wearing on rotation, the Mary Jane flats that are destined to be a bestseller, and a perfect oversized shirt from COS that I just can't stop thinking about. It's time to start shopping...
