We're hours from beginning a brand new year, a time which prompts us to reflect on all aspects of our lives—personal style included. While we don't believe in the "new year, new wardrobe” mantra which suggests a total closet overhaul, the urge to hit refresh is natural. Rather than spontaneously purging 75% of your clothing, evaluate what's missing from your current repertoire and fill the gaps thoughtfully. Where are our editors looking for key pieces that deliver on quality and affordability? You guessed it: Marks and Spencer.

Season after season, M&S drops an array of timeless and on-trend items—as well as basics like underwear and hosiery. And season after season, the Who What Wear team is impressed. This time around, it's the high street brand's directional woven handbags and cosy knitted styles that have wholly captured our hearts. But I won't give it all away. Scroll on to see the best Marks and Spencer pieces to buy now.
