The new year is an opportunity to refine your wardrobe and invest in classic pieces with trans-seasonal appeal. Max Mara’s ‘Harlem’ wool sweater is the perfect example: the smart, navy-blue Breton stripes will fit seamlessly into your daily rotation of outfits, and the chic turtleneck makes it easy to look and feel put together, whether you’re heading to the office or for a casual weekend lunch. Simply pair yours with black or white denim, leather boots and chunky gold jewelry – Azlee’s emerald and diamond ring and Foundrae’s ‘Strong Hearts’ bracelet are divine options.

When curating your collection of transitional jackets, look to Marni’s hotly anticipated collaboration with Carhartt WIP for a fresh take on the classic camel coat. Maya Gunavardhana, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion assistant, describes it as an understated statement piece with retro appeal. “I’ve been very excited for the release of the Marni x Carhartt collection, and it has not disappointed with this gorgeous color-block coat,” she says. “The boxy silhouette is ideal for layering over chunky knitwear on colder days, and the tonal panels of corduroy and cotton mix Carhartt’s utilitarian aesthetic with Marni’s playful approach. Style the contrasting colors with a neutral turtleneck sweater and white wide-leg jeans, then finish the look with a beanie from Rag & Bone, and Bottega Veneta’s sunglasses on cold, sunny days.”

No outfit is complete without the right accessories, and sleek leather options from Chloé and Gucci ensure you have an elevated staple that suits almost any look. Gucci’s platform loafers are a favorite among fashion insiders such as Alyssa Coscarelli and Reese Blutstein. They combine the comfort of flat shoes with an elevated, glossy finish, resulting in a wardrobe essential that looks just as good with a crisp shirt and wide-leg pants as it does with a mini skirt and an oversized sweater. Meanwhile, Chloé’s elegant bucket bag is roomy enough for your essentials, and the understated design complements a variety of dress codes. Wear it cross-body in the daytime with denim and sneakers, or carry it top-handle with an LBD and heeled sandals for an easy after-dark look.
