A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
The pressure to refresh different aspects of your life can be immense come January. However, while new challenges and resolutions can bring positive change, there’s no need to extend that philosophy to your closet if you’re happy with your look. Instead, take stock of the pieces that bring you joy year-round, assess the gaps, and consider any new additions that would best serve you day to day.
It’s through taking a similarly methodical approach that senior fashion features editor Gillian Brett has taken steps to become a more conscious consumer over recent seasons. Which is why, when cult designer Petar Petrov’s covetable striped sweater landed on site this week, she mindfully ran through a list of sartorial non-negotiables before buying it.
“When I shop, I always have three criteria in mind: 1. Does it work with my existing closet? 2. Do I love it? 3. Will I still love it years from now? It’s a resounding ‘yes’ on all accounts for this luxe Petar Petrov turtleneck. Choosing timeless pieces that feel inherently ‘me’ simplifies my morning routine no end, so over the past few years I’ve been curating a dependable capsule wardrobe – with just enough room for a few bold statement pieces, too. This black and khaki number will slot right in and work with everything from leather pants and midi skirts to elevated trackpants. I love its cozy, enveloping shape – exactly the kind of thing I’m craving for this cold January in London.”
If you’re also on a mission to streamline your wardrobe this year, opting for remastered closet classics is a fail-safe route. Cast in a sumptuous shade of burgundy and finished with chic silver hardware, Savette’s cross-body bag is a bona fide forever piece, while Victoria Beckham’s utilitarian take on tailored pants will instantly add edge to your on- and off-duty look, and Cult Gaia’s graphic hoop earrings provide an effortless finishing touch to any outfit.
It’s also worth noting that this emphasis on pragmatism extends to interiors, too. Take Danish brand Raawii’s exquisite carafes: combining clean lines with mood-boosting colors, each one is a work of art in and of itself.
