As a fashion editor, I spend a healthy portion of my days on the hunt for the latest and greatest on offer across my favourite high-street and designer brands, and lately, I must admit I've been spoilt for choice. 2025 has really started on a cold note, but the latest high-street offerings have me truly excited for the dropping temperatures ahead. From chic coats to cosy knits and chunky boots, I'll always look for a good excuse to layer any day of the week so this is right up my alley.
So, with a love for all things winterwear, I've collated some of the very best new-in pieces across three of my favourite high street brands: Zara, COS and Arket. Each catering to a slightly different audience, and all with their own strengths, this new-season edit comprises classic winter items and trending yet timeless new-season buys.
Read on to discover the very best from these high-street heroes.
