A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
A new sartorial season marks an exciting fresh start for our closets. Whether you’re stepping into warmer weather or readying to wrap up for fall, the bold colors and vibrant prints that saturate the pre-fall ’22 collections promise to instil a bright and breezy mood. Bottega Veneta’s short-sleeved shirt in the brand’s now-iconic shade of ‘parakeet green’ pops against chocolate-colored suiting. Meanwhile, the Italian maison’s must-have quilted mules are a sound investment that will add a fashion-forward feel to your nine-to-five closet and serve you well at weekends. Plus, with party season around the corner, they are sure to become a go-to.
Annie Hertikova, senior fashion assistant at NET-A-PORTER, has already started the hunt for the perfect party dress. “As the holiday season will soon be upon us, I aim to be prepared by investing in key pieces before they sell out,” she says. “The FW22 runways have inspired me to go a bit bolder this year – a statement print, bright color or sexy cutout are top of my wish list. This graphic mini by Valentino is the perfect dress to take to the dance floor when paired with heels and a clutch bag.”
Other evening essentials to consider include modern jewels from British-based brands By Pariah and Sia Taylor. Elsewhere, September’s back-to-school mood calls for a shiny new tote bag that will complement all your new-season ensembles – and Chloé’s ‘Woody’ bag has a sleek boxy silhouette that is just the ticket.
