Whistles has always been one of those high street shops I never bothered to go into, because the clothes always looked a little too frilly and mumsy for my taste. But with new creative director Jane Shepherdson (ex Top Shop brand direcotr) at the helm, the brand is getting a makeover. The new Whistles collection looks more sophisticated and polished. We liked the look of this black key hole dress (£125) as well as the sharply tailored military pea coats (£195). The new collection of silky blouses looks chic without being sweet, and the range of silky tops (around £45 each) would look great paired with skinny jeans.
