A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
‘Cuffing season’ is here and it’s time to find the one. We’re not talking about a partner, of course, but the perfect winter jacket to fall in love with – and one that still ticks the season’s requirements for cozying up. When it comes to this key style investment, it’s hard-working hero pieces that are sending our hearts aflutter, the kind you can (and will want to) build the rest of your daily outfits around.
Given how often you’ll wear it, such jackets are not always easy to settle on, but it’s comforting to know that even fashion insiders pause for thought. “Now that the temperature has dropped in London, I’m excited to consider a brand new layer,” says NET-A-PORTER’s junior market editor Abbi Minchin. So, it’s good timing for a newcomer in our edit that specializes in special, enduring designs intended to be prized and passed down. Based in Paris, where you’ll find its by-appointment-only boutique, Nour Hammour launched in 2013 and has amassed a growing fan base ever since – including Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber. “I’ve been so excited for Nour Hammour to launch on NET-A-PORTER,” says Minchin. “Focusing on outerwear, the label’s clothes are the elevated yet effortless additions your wardrobe needs this season.” Hitting all the right notes for FW23, the ‘Nyla’ shearling jacket comes in a warm cognac shade and has zipped pockets to slip chilly hands (or some leather gloves) into.
How easy is it to style? Simple, especially if you add a few equally refined staples to your existing capsule. “For me, you cannot beat a classic knit-and-jeans combination in the cold,” says Minchin. “When it comes to sweaters, I love Lisa Yang’s minimal cashmere turtlenecks and how there’s a choice of colors to suit everyone. That just leaves the jeans, and I would argue that Khaite’s ‘Albi’ pair are the perfect blue, straight-leg option for every occasion. Pare them back with an ankle boot – my preferred choice is a kitten heel that comfortably takes me from day to night – or, on those slightly warmer days, slip on a sleek ballet flat or a modern Mary Jane by Le Monde Beryl.”
To complete your look, it’s all about a chic bag that strikes the perfect balance between style and practicality. “Toteme’s belted tote is currently at the top of my wish list. The oversized shape holds all the essentials (including a laptop for the office), and the suede texture is great for elevating any look,” says Minchin.
