I like to plan out every aspect of my life, particularly what I’m going to be wearing for it, but lately, I’ve found myself struggling with my fashion identity. Postponed weddings, cancelled holidays and, let’s face it, the lack of a social life means I’ve been shopping considerably less than I ordinarily would have been.
It’s my job as an editor to show you a considered and concise edit of the best pieces in fashion at any given time, and I love that challenge. However, right now, I’m increasingly indecisive about what to buy for myself. So much so I’ve barely added anything new to my wardrobe this year. I need an intervention—something to help me reignite my passion for getting dressed (in something other than leggings and a sweatshirt, at the very least). Or should I say needed, for, somewhat serendipitously, I’ve just happened upon a newly landed high-street collection that’s so impressive I think it just might be the thing to break me out of my style rut.
While scrolling through Mango‘s new-in section today, I had a huge smile on my face. Its summer collection has only just trickled onto the website, and there are enough prints, cool detailing and breathtaking colours to do the trick. It’s a bona fide feast for the eyes, completely refreshing and—rejoice!—packed full of things I actually want to wear this season.
