As a fashion editor who prioritises investment buys, I'm often asked which high street stores I recommend - and it is always & Other Stories that spring to mind, particularly for anyone looking to invest in affordable quality.
Whilst you can buy into key Spring/Summer 2025 trends such as butter yellow, suede and key accessories trends such as jumbo clutches and kitten heels, & Other Stories tend to keep their designs pretty timeless.
Although I try to prioritise independent brands, I do believe you can make considered purchases on the high street. With a discerning eye, you can find pieces to stand the test of time and quality isn't necessarily synonymous with luxury fashion. No matter where I shop, I make a point to check the fabric labels (from an ethical and longevity standpoint) and I've spotted an increase in the use of biodegradable fabrics in & Other Stories' collections.
My introduction to & Other Stories was a longline wool coat purchase, which remains a hero piece in my wardrobe to this day, and over the years there have been several cult buys - including a wool blazer and satin slip skirt. Among my favourites this season are the suede accents and the brand's take on basics, giving way to elevated denim, billowy blouses and high-quality outerwear.
With that said, I've compiled a thorough edit of my favourite new-in pieces from & Other Stories. From outerwear to accessories, these are the pieces that are worth your time.
