It’s officially spring. The weather is (slowly) warming up, the days are getting longer and, naturally, we’re looking to update our wardrobes with some warm weather-friendly buys. But that doesn’t mean that your purchase can’t stretch beyond the next couple of months.
The Arket new in page is one of the first places I turn to when I’m after timeless pieces with an on-trend twist - and the brand’s recently-dropped spring/summer offering is no exception. From fashion-forward flats and laptop-friendly bags to swimsuits and summer dresses, Arket has some beautiful pieces right now, so of course I had to round up my favourites.
The new-in theme seems to be: spring sophistication - with relaxed tailoring, elegant pops of colour and on-trend accessories taking centre stage (hello mesh ballet flats and elegant rose detailing). Pieces that have an on-trend feel but can actually be worn well into the warmer seasons and beyond, making them my favourite kind of purchase - one that has all the glamour and excitement of a trend-led buy but still feels timeless enough to know that my investment will stretch a long way.
Whether you’re after groundbreaking florals for spring or want to update your wardrobe with an on-trend silk maxi skirt or Mary Jane flat, the Arket new in page has you covered.
Oh, and if you’re a fan of Arket’s new-in offering, MCUK’s fashion team has also been hard at work rounding up the best new pieces from COS and H&M for your convenience. I know, I know, we shouldn’t have.
