A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
As our diaries gradually begin to fill up again with everything from board meetings to dinners with friends, and even – for the lucky few – vacations (and not a moment too soon), it’s only natural that we’d be excited to enhance our closets with some covetable new additions. However, the best way to ensure an instant dopamine hit and long-term mileage from your purchases is to opt for new-season updates of style classics.
From AZ Factory’s body-sculpting scarlet tank top to Bottega Veneta’s ultra-flattering tortoiseshell sunglasses and Alexander McQueen’s exquisitely crafted barely-there sandals, designers across the board have excelled themselves this season by debuting covetable pieces that strike the elusive balance between timely and timeless. Meaning not only will you be fielding compliments from their very first outing, but they’re also guaranteed to have a cherished place in your closet for years to come.
Of course, for many, it’s jewelry that promises maximum ROI. Whether you’re drawn to understated designs by the likes of Yvonne Léon or more statement styles by new names such as Timeless Pearly, gold accent pieces will forever make a welcome addition to any jewelry collection.
For senior fashion market editor Libby Page, a discerning tailoring devotee, a suit is the ultimate sartorial investment. Which is why, when Balenciaga’s elegant navy separates landed on NET-A-PORTER this week, she was quick to snap them up.
“A perfectly tailored suit is a wardrobe essential and can be styled for literally any occasion – provided you find the right one. It’s therefore a choice that requires careful consideration. This season, Balenciaga, a veteran design house renowned for its unparalleled cut, has delivered the perfect suit in the form of this directional double-breasted, crinkled-linen version. I’ll be styling it with sneakers for a cool but casual look, then, after dark, I’ll pair it with a silk shirt and finish with sandals for chic evening appeal. However, this piece works all year round, so, come fall, I’ll be layering the blazer over a rollneck sweater. In short, the styling potential is truly endless.”
