Some days (okay, four out of five), our lunch break is spent sitting at our desks star­ing down an ever-grow­ing in­box while we fork at yes­ter­day’s left­overs. Bleak. As over half of us (52%) are al­ready spend­ing this hour off endlessly scrolling, what better time to shop than this?

To make matters more complicated, however, we are of course still battling with climate change and the need to reduce our levels of consumption has never been more urgent. That's why this Lunchtime Shop will bring you all the best pieces that you can wear season after season. After all, with an increasing awareness of fast fashion's impact on our planet, it's necessary to shop consciously and make smart purchases; things that will be in your wardrobe forever, and that you'll always love wearing.

From the best of the wear-forever high street buys to the most beautiful pieces to shop from all of your favourite designers, these are the things worth investing in. If a lunch break is really the only thing worth looking forward to on some work days, you may as well make it extra special.
