Topshop holds a place in many people’s hearts, us included, and its official return with its own website is something we have desperately missed. We hate to say it, but shopping Topshop items on ASOS just never felt the same (sorry, not sorry).
Topshop is an iconic retailer – almost like Biba is to the kids of the 60s and 70s. We used to race to our local Topshop store, or venture to the giant Oxford Circus branch with its three floors, to pick up a new outfit for our night out that evening, and often for under £30 – and that was without our student discount code.
We lived in Joni jeans throughout the 2010s, the bodycon mini skirts were all the craze teamed with sky high Jeffrey Campbell heels, a sweeping side fringe with polka straight hair, and MAC’s Honey Love lipstick.
It got even better when Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne collaborated with the label, which made us feel like we were shopping a premium label rather than high street. Oh what a time to be alive!
Safe to say when Topshop’s runway show took place on Saturday 16th it left us with a hefty dose of nostalgia, and we longed for the days playing dress up with our friends in the Topshop changing rooms.
The new drop does not disappoint, though it never has. From Cara’s edit to Autumn favourites, premium suede fabrics, and more, we have whittled down the pieces that get our seal of approval from Topshop.

Sheer Maxi With Lace Inserts
Sheer maxi skirts are all the craze, and they’re not going away any time soon. So we’re shopping this design in both colours. This skirt is a hybrid of sheer and lace fabric, which is a chic and flattering combination. The maxi length is long enough that tall girlies won’t be caught short (quite literally).
Faux Leather Drop Shoulder Cropped Zip Thru Jacket
We plan on wearing this jacket every day until the end of time.The cropped jacket falls to the hips, and features an elasticated hem, so when you zip it up it offers a louche bomber-style finish.
Faux Fur Super Long Coat
No winter wardrobe is complete without a faux fur coat, and this longline design is an essential. Team with jeans and knitwear for the daytime, or a satin slip dress for a night out for an ultra glam look.
Shacket With Patch Pocket
This new-in shacket is reminiscent of a khaki jacket we previously owned from Topshop with leather accents. So we’re glad it’s making a comeback.We love the longer length of this design to provide extra coverage around the hips and bottom. It can be worn as a jacket in the transitional seasons, or a key layering piece in colder months.
Heavy Twill Contrast Stitch Short Sleeve Mini Dress
This mini dress is more versatile than you think, and a worthy investment piece you can wear in the summer, the transitional seasons, as well as Autumn/Winter. Pair with ballet pumps for those warmer days, opt for Western boots and a suede fringe jacket in autumn, and slip into tights, chunky boots and a knitted jumper for winter.
Halter Neck Maxi Dress
The halterneck, maxi length and bias cut, combined with the open back is an ultra flattering silhouette for all body shapes. We particularly love the multi-coloured version for any summer wedding guest outfits, or holiday fits. Go bold with accessories by opting for bright orange or cobalt blue heels and a matching bag.
Seam Detail Blazer Top In Buttermilk
Structured blazers and buttermilk yellow are two major fashion trends, and this Seam Detail Blazer Top combines both in one. Pair with white tailored shorts, trousers, or barrel leg jeans. No matter how you style it, we predict it will fly off the shelves.
Borg Aviator Oversized Jacket
Topshop is known for its signature Aviator jackets, or rather it’s the retailer we first purchased our Aviator jacket that saw us through numerous winters. So of course we’re shopping this version for the colder months.
Knitted Stripe Cardigan And Scarf
Neckerchiefs are all the craze, but we’ve yet to see the accessory combined with a cardigan. This 2-in-1 creation is chic and a simple way to elevate the humble cardi.
One Shoulder Chuck On Liquid Satin Dress
We love a one-and-done dress, and this design is exactly that. The one shoulder strap, asymmetric neckline, floaty satin fabric and pleated detail makes this a fuss-free dress that is instantly chic.
Flood Length Maxi Bias Skirt In Red And White Stripe
Another iconic Topshop piece is the satin bias slip skirt, but it’s been giving an update with the maxi length and stripe detail, which is super flattering.
