A curated round-up of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
With working from home and social distancing becoming the new normal for people all across the globe, the PORTER fashion team – based in London and New York – has turned its attention to an oft-overlooked section of every woman’s closet: loungewear. For some, that means staying in your pajamas all day – and if that’s you, Desmond & Dempsey’s crisp cotton sets are difficult to beat – while for others, getting dressed is an integral part of their morning routine and imperative when it comes to getting into the ‘WFH’ headspace. Fashion editor Hannah Cole falls firmly into the former camp, and this week she stumbled across (and swiftly purchased) a look that struck the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.
“Trust Gabriela Hearst, the queen of understated luxury, to design the perfect co-ords. In shade-of-the-season burnt orange, they bring a pop of color to all-day pajama dressing. Perfect for lounging (ahem, working) in, they are the at-home alternative to the two-piece suit. Come summer, I’ll be wearing mine with sporty sandals and lots of delicate gold chains.”
Another effortless way to stay chic and comfortable is in Rejino Pyo’s two-toned sweatshirt. Pair it with everything from blue jeans to silk palazzo pants – this versatile piece promises endless style mileage. Of course, the easiest way to elevate any look is with a little embellishment. A pair of understated diamond earrings by KATKIM – the jewelry label favored by the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Yara Shahidi and Charlize Theron – will lend an air of elegance to any ensemble. Even sweats.
