    As a shopping editor, it’s my job to browse through the best fashion stores online - from high street to high end - so I know an expensive-looking piece of clothing when I see one. And when these pieces happen to be on sale, well that’s even better. Enter: the best high street sales.

    High street fashion is pretty unrecognisable this season, with more expensive-looking pieces on offer than I’ve ever seen. In fact, some of the best knitwear, crisp cotton shirts, timeless denim and on-trend styles are now available on the high street.

    And the best thing? Some of my all-time favourite shops to find luxe-looking pieces on a budget just so happen to have some of the best sales on right now. How perfect. The COS sale has just been announced, and so has H&M and Arket's offerings!

    We’re right in the middle of autumn, which means the best mid-season fashion sales are in full swing. It goes without saying that it’s a great time to pick up an absolute steal.

    I’ve always been a strong advocate for mindful shopping - and that rings even more true when it comes to shopping the sales. Just because a piece happens to be discounted, that doesn’t mean you should jump right in and buy it. You need to be sure it’s something you really want, will wear for years to come and would have probably bought even if it wasn’t discounted.

    Finding the best bargains on timeless pieces you'll wear all the time is laborious work, so I’ve done all the hard work for you: sifting through the high street sales to find only the most expensive-looking pieces to shop. Oh, and everything in this list (though it may not look it) is under £100. Enjoy.

    Shop the best high street sales:
