Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
As the nights draw in and our social calendars become filled with festive engagements, we look to versatile investment pieces that keep us chic and cozy by day, and amp up the glamour by evening. “Winter is the perfect time for luxe fabrications, with velvet being a key contender for the top spot,” says Abbi Minchin, NET-A-PORTER’s junior market editor. “This mustard-colored velvet dress from Proenza Schouler is a great go-to, and despite being dubbed a ‘gown’, it’s a versatile day-to-night piece for those who like maxi lengths.” Pair it with Rabanne’s chainmail shoulder bag, a pair of brown mules from The Row, and some chunky silver hoops from Bleue Burnham – a new brand to NET-A-PORTER – for a glitzy cocktail party, or dress it down with a leather jacket, such as this chocolate-brown zip-front style from Chloé, plus a pair of sleek knee-high boots.
“My footwear of choice for the colder months is a pair of knee-high boots,” says Minchin. “Not only are they sleek and stylish, they’re also a practical choice, as they provide coverage and warmth in inclement weather – a true investment piece that can be styled up or down.” Try Saint Laurent’s glossy black leather ‘Lee’ boots, which will also add polish to more low-key looks – think black leggings and chunky knits.
For an effortlessly cool daytime ensemble that works for busy days on the go, throw the Chloé leather jacket over a cream cashmere sweater and a pair of white twill pants, such as this pair from Brunello Cucinelli. Complete with crisp white sneakers, a modern string of freshwater pearls – such as the ‘Howie’ necklace from Storrow – and a pop of color via Valentino Garavani’s tomato-red ‘Rockstud’ tote. “Red is the shade of the season, and a nod to the holiday period, so this bag is the perfect accessory,” says Minchin. “It’s a great way to integrate the color into your look if you are not a head-to-toe kind of girl.”
For a mood-boosting finish, try spritzing a scent from Vyrao – new to NET-A-PORTER and the brainchild of fashion insider Yasmin Sewell, it’s heralded as the first wellbeing brand to combine master perfumery with energy-healing. Each bottle contains a Herkimer diamond crystal and is filled with a scent underpinned by science – the ‘Georgette’ centers on Turkish rose oil and is inspired by love and self-expression. Good vibes only.
