27 Autumn It Buys From Topshop, Arket and John Lewis & Partners
Autumn is easily our favourite time of year to get dressed for. Every day presents an opportunity to practise new layering techniques and play with different texture combinations—and you'll find everything you need to be suitably outfitted for the season on the high-street. Finally, any semblance of summer has been removed from the shop floors, making way for a plethora of knitwear, leather, mock croc, and flannel.

Indeed, the entire high-street is looking mighty impressive at the moment, but we think the brands with the strongest collections are Arket, Topshop and John Lewis & Partners, with each one taking a different approach to A/W 19. At Arket, you'll find wardrobe staples that'll last you for years to come, while Topshop is serving up some of the most affordable interpretations of major trends we've seen. As for John Lewis? Well, it appears to have a mix of the two.
So impressed are we by these three stores that we decided to share with you our wish lists. Keep scrolling to see the pieces from Topshop, John Lewis & Partners, and Arket that can't be missed.
