30 Expensive-Looking Pieces From M&S, Zara and Mango That Are Perfect for Autumn

Let's face it, summer didn't really summer this year. So, let’s talk about autumn. Knitwear, leather, denim on denim, chunky boots—the fashion potential that autumn unlocks never fails to give us a thrill, and we’ve been busy shaping what we want our style to look like this season for weeks, okay, maybe even months. 

In doing so, however, we’ve realised that we have some holes in our line-up that could do with filling. From knitwear that’s starting to look past its sell-by to coats that don’t boast quite the same silhouette as they did a few years previously, chances are you may find a few key items in your autumn fashion arsenal that need updating, too. And where better to look for these pieces than the Great British high-street?

We have, hands down, the best high-street in the world, and our favourite stores are already serving up a host of autumnal goodness by way of cropped jackets, toasty cardigans, quilted outerwear, and so much more. Out of all the brands out here, we’re particularly impressed by Mango, Zara, and M&S’s edits, which, between them, tick off every noteworthy autumn trend going. 

But don’t take our word for it—let us show you. Scroll on to see the eleven pieces from each store we think are worth your time.
