Boasting an array of celebrity and royal fans including Princess Kate, Cat Deeley, Princess Eugenie and Alex Scott, Reiss is the premium womenswear brand loved for its sharp tailoring and smart silhouettes.
Founded in London in 1971 by David Reiss, its high quality fabrics, clean lines and modern designs have made it one of the most renowned names on the British high street.
Also offering clothing and accessories for men and children, the elegant, buy-now, wear-forever capsule pieces will add an instant upgrade to any look.
Excitingly, the brand has just unveiled its SS25 Pre-Collection, with an array of new tailoring separates, knits, accessories and outerwear to refresh your wardrobe during the cooler months.
The range may just be Reiss’ most chic yet – so I’ve compiled my ultimate wish list to inspire your next browse…
How I chose:
Timelessness: I’ve opted for investment items that won’t date, to give you max cost per wear and ensure that each piece is a considered purchase, and will go the distance in creating outfits for years to come.
Sizing: At the time of publishing, and in subsequent updates, I’ve included items with the most size and length options to appeal to the widest demographic of readers and offer the highest stock availability.
Luxe appeal: I’ve opted for items that look far more expensive than their high street price tag, to elevate any workwear or weekend look.
Why you should trust me:
With more than a decade of experience in women’s media, I have a strong market knowledge of fashion brands, trends and product. I have scoured the Reiss SS25 Pre-Collection to bring you an expert edit of the most enduring items to upgrade your wardrobe for winter, spring and beyond, selecting items with wear-forever appeal to give you the most wardrobe mileage.
