21 Expensive-Looking Pieces From the New-In Sections at Mango, COS and Zara

On our recent weekly (okay, daily) pilgrimages to our favourite retail sites, team Who What Wear UK has been repeatedly stopped in our tracks by three brands. Out of every retailer on the high street, it's always Mango, COS and Zara that pique our collective interest as soon as we open their new-in sections. With fresh new-season buys coming in thick and fast, now is the best time to snap up items that work not only for 2025, but also for many years to come. And, if you've got a wardrobe refresh on your mind, where better to start shopping?
To break it down for you, COS is the destination right now for sleek staples like jackets and denim . When it comes to Mango, there are plenty of transitional separates and expensive-looking dresses that are bound to reach cult status on Instagram and a colour palette to help ease you into the new year. And as for Zara, well there's a stripped-back, minimalist approach happening in the new-in section (including one classic piece I just know is going to sell out), so in short, there's something for everyone.

As we've already done the scrolling, we've just made it easier for you to shop the best of the best from these high-street heavy hitters. Ahead, enjoy our roundup the 21 best bits from Mango, COS and Zara right now. Happy shopping.
