Autumn/winter is my favorite time for garments procuring – and proper now, Mango is my favorite place to do exactly that. The Spanish high-street label is best than ever. Take it from somebody who has spent no less than one lunch break each week for the previous – let’s say, six years – within the Mango dressing rooms.
Earlier this yr, Mango celebrated the worldwide launch of its most eagerly-awaited collaboration up to now (Mango X Victoria Beckham, ICYMI), which coincided with Mango’s personal fortieth anniversary celebrations and took inspiration from the movie La Piscine (1969) starring Jane Birkin. Then, Katie Holmes was noticed sporting a Mango Choice tan suede jacket when out in New York, which precipitated it to promote out in a matter of moments.
The Spanish trend model followed-up with a Zendaya-charged tenniscore assortment – bursting with Wimbledon-appropriate tennis skirts, tote baggage and baseball caps – earlier than Emily Ratajkowski wore a Mango Choice summer time costume out in New York and despatched the style set right into a frenzy.
Extra lately? Mango has dropped a sell-out summer time collaboration with Siedrés, the Turkish model of the second, which was a joyful, vibrant and recent celebration of the arrival of summer time within the Mediterranean. In brief: Mango is sizzling subject.
It appeared well timed, then, to make a beeline for the model’s flagship Regent Road and take a look at on the crème de la crème – simply so you do not have to. This yr, I’m purchasing for autumn slightly in another way. Knitwear, denim and get together season get-ups are nonetheless prime of my agenda, however I’ve simply 5 months left till my child is due – so I additionally need to be heat, snug and flatter my bump. Fortunately, from floaty blouses to lovely two piece knitted units, there was a lot which felt appropriate for taking me by way of being pregnant and into my postpartum period.

1. Leopard-print shirt with collar and bow
I’m so completely satisfied the leopard print pattern is greater than ever this season: leopard print is one in every of my favorite prints of all time – most undoubtedly a impartial which could be dressed up with a cute pair of black trousers for Christmas Drinks, or act as the proper “I’m right here” apparel in your subsequent assembly.

Discovering denims that match nicely is usually a large activity in itself however these sat completely. The standard felt unbelievable – I simply know they may final the story of time – and the star is a cute added further.
3. Lurex knitted prime
I’ve all the time been a sucker for a glittery prime. I’ve liked them by way of summer time – through the evenings on vacation – but in addition discover them to be a staple for date night time or Christmas drinks. This one stretched over my rising bump to perfection, and had a beautiful scooped neckline. Probably the most beautiful companion for my star-print denims, do not you assume?
4. Ruffle shirt with snake print
I all the time really feel a way of nostalgia for a time when fringe, ruffles, feathers and bell-bottoms reigned supreme. Boho model, greatest described as a free-spirited, eclectic method to trend, attracts inspiration first from the hippie period of the Sixties – and it is big information this season. Partially, now we have Daisy Edgar Jones to thank for that.
