Arbiters of style head to Paris Fashion Week for a new season of exquisite craftsmanship from some of the world’s most esteemed designers – and one such label is Chloé. An early architect of Parisian chic, the brand creates expertly tailored staples that exude casual confidence. Maya Gunavardhana, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion assistant, describes Chloé’s ‘Woody’ tote as the ideal addition to our closets for the office, events and traveling in style.

“Chloé’s ‘Woody’ tote is a modern must-have,” says Gunavardhana. “The luxurious brown leather, tastefully embroidered with the label’s famous moniker, truly embodies Parisian chic. Perfect for a workday or in transit between shows, I would wear it with a Chloé suit and chunky boots by Christian Louboutin, then add a floral top by Isabel Marant for balance. This is a bag that offers endless styling options, whether for an event that calls for casual refinement or to elevate your airport outfits. It’s spacious enough to hold your key items, and the long straps can either be carried neat or slung over your shoulder while on the go.”

If you’re after a pair of luxe jeans, then Alaïa’s ‘Lover’ style is the perfect choice. The mid-rise, straight-leg fit makes it a closet hero, while the embroidered creases across the back add an avant-garde element. Style with Chloé’s navy wool blazer for a trans-seasonal outfit that ensures you look put together – and complete the look with the label’s ‘Nellie’ ankle boots, which combine sleek black leather with a cashmere-blend ankle for comfort and warmth. For the high-shine finishing touches, Balmain’s ‘Labyrinth’ signet ring – part of the maison’s debut fine-jewelry collection – embodies the brand’s heritage and is destined to become a family heirloom. Crafted from 18-karat gold with a single diamond, it will form the centerpiece of a well-curated look.
