Spending £600 on a wardrobe refresh??

If you had £600 to refresh your wardrobe, what would you go for?
Would you spend it in one go or just buy things as and when you see them?
I never usually have this much money to buy new clothes and now I feel like I can’t make a decision and buy anything!

I think I would buy a good coat/jacket and then upgrade my jeans and jumpers and a fabulous pair of boots.

What a lovely dilemma!

What do you own already that you like? What do you think you need?

I've booked an appointment with a stylist at John Lewis for just this purpose! After a different perspective as I end up buying all the same things all the time and bit sick of it really.

Might something like this be something to consider?

Two things - where do you usually shop, and what do you most want or need?

Given the flexibility of £600 it would (to my mind) be a shame to use it all up on lower quality, not terribly well made things from the cheaper end of the High St. So unless you immediately need a volume of new clothes, it might be better to take your time, investigate a wider range of brands than you maybe usually shop from, and ‘invest’ in a few things in the best quality you can access.

But obviously, one can fill a wardrobe perfectly well at Uniqlo - so it really depends on which things it would satisfy you to spend more on.
