The 14 Best High Street Buys of All Time, According to an Editor

As a shopping editor, I’m often asked about the best fashion items around. Immediately, an array of iconic creations spring to mind from beloved handbags to the most popular tailoring, but what might surprise you is how many of these pieces come from the high street.

Alongside the seasonal pieces and trending buys can be found a select group of decidedly great pieces that are so good they remain on-site and in stores for years. Yes, years.
