A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Every discerning dresser knows that denim is the cornerstone of a truly great capsule closet. And while skinny and straight-leg jeans may have had a stranglehold on the market over the past few years, recently we’ve seen designers dabbling with directional and voluminous styles. LA-based label Mother’s balloon-legged ‘Curbside’ style puts an elevated twist on this closet classic – you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again. Similarly, London-based designer Rejina Pyo has turned the classic winter sweater into a must-have piece; her hand-crafted scarlet iteration is endlessly wearable but also boasts serious sartorial impact.
For senior fashion assistant Kristen Nellie, a great coat is the star of her cold-weather closet, and she’s been on the hunt for this year’s trophy piece. When Le 17 Septembre’s sumptuous brushed-wool design arrived onsite this week, she was quick to snap it up.
“Sophisticated and easy-wearing, a good coat is always an essential part of my winter wardrobe, and this chic Le 17 Septembre number is the perfect new addition to my collection. I love the brand’s minimalist designs and responsible business ethic – everything is made in small batches with the aim of curbing overproduction; it also makes their designs feel even more exclusive. I’ll be pairing this must-have coat with brown loafers, choice accessories and a turtleneck to give an extra layer of warmth.”
Of course, if you want to give your look an instant update, new-season accessories should be your go-to. Combat boots have dominated the FW21 collections and the minimal designs by Legres perfectly blend their utilitarian appeal with timeless elegance. Pair yours with everything from sweater dresses to tailoring and mini skirts to give your outfits an effortless edge. Elsewhere, if you’ve been on the hunt for a great bag since life started getting busy again, look no further than cult label Khaite’s slouchy ‘Lotus’ style. Sophisticated yet understated, this low-key piece makes a fail-safe addition to any outfit. Plus, it’s capacious enough for all your daily essentials – and then some.
