Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
September signals a back-to-school mood, as the new collections begin to drop, and the weather calls for closet reappraisal. This season, we’re seeking vibrant colors and quirky silhouettes to revitalize our FW22 wardrobes. Naturally, we’ve turned to JW Anderson, the British label feted for its irreverence. Its ‘Bumper Tube’ skirt puts a playful twist on office attire with its undulating asymmetric hem. We advise tucking in a plain white tee or complementing its rich blue hue by pairing it with the brand’s tangerine knit tank. As a key color of the season, this Acne Studios blouse in juicy orange instantly caught NET-A-PORTER fashion editor Marquessa Whyte’s eye.
“Acne Studios’ satin blouse personifies the very meaning of ‘playful sophistication,’” says Whyte. “Its lustrous finish and sleek shape make it the perfect back-to-work investment piece – comfortable yet elevated. The orange-gold shade adds a subtle statement to any look, especially when dressed down with denim or neutral tailoring. It’s a truly versatile piece that can be worn at the office or styled up for a night of dinner and dancing.”
If you’re in search of the perfect new-season arm-candy, The Row’s ‘Morgan’ shoulder bag is a very chic choice. Crafted from a smooth nubuck suede in a relaxed, unstructured silhouette, it lends a laid-back elegance to any look. To further elevate workwear, dainty diamonds work a charm. Shay’s drop earrings are easily convertible – the slim chain can be threaded through the post to trace your lobe or left undone to hang freely – making them perfect to switch up your look from important meetings to after-work dinners. Meanwhile Anita Ko’s ‘Zoe Thin’ bracelet adds a glimmer of gold to tailoring; roll back your shirt sleeves to show it off. Finally, for shoes that are comfortable enough to commute in but sleek enough for the office, Bottega Veneta’s intrecciato weave slides are a wise investment.
