5 Under-£100 New-Season Buys That Make Up My Winter Capsule Wardrobe

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...
SHOP THE UNDER-£100 GEMS WE'VE SPOTTED THIS MONTH:
1. Versatile Tops and Shirts
2. Knits and Jackets
Okay, it's slightly over the mark but, this short trench brings an instant touch of polish.
This chic cardigan comes in five colourways; cream, grey, black, stripe and beige.
Ready to be styled for day with jeans and a jumper, or layered over an elegant dress for evening.
3. "Wear With Everything" Trousers, Jeans and Skirts
Loose-fitting blue jeans are the timeless style that works all year round.
The kind of trousers that can take you from the workday to the weekend.
If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to a look, consider adding a satin skirt into the mix.
4. "Does-It-All" Dresses
This gorgeous cream dress will be so easy to dress up or down.
5. Chic Shoes and Accessories
You're in luck! These are still in stock in most sizes.
I'm obsessed with mesh flats right now, and these take things up another notch.
You'd be forgiven for thinking this gorgeous shoulder bag was designer.
