The Pieces Topping Team NET-A-PORTER’s New-Season Wish Lists
From statement jackets and sleek day-to-night dresses to timeless investment bags, these are Team NET-A-PORTER’s top picks for pre-fall ’25
Marina Revenga, assistant personal shopper
“I always find that textures bring a layer of versatile elegance to those final days of summer and the first crisp hints of fall. I naturally lean into pieces that carry me through the day – from a day at the office to spontaneous evening plans – and that are easy to pack for the last getaways of the year. This minimalist cotton-silk-blend dress from Toteme is exactly that: sleek and effortless, perfect from desk to dinner. Outerwear sets the tone, and one piece currently at the top of my wish list is Nour Hammour’s bomber jacket, which is exclusive to NET-A-PORTER. Suede always feels like a smart investment, and the interesting shape makes it easy to style with wide-leg pants, a pencil skirt or a simple dress. To complete any look, I’m drawn to accessories that add warmth and contrast – Khaite’s calf-hair ‘Simona’ bag is high on my radar. After a summer of sandals and ballet flats, The Row’s leather mules are the perfect in-between season shoe: elegant, comfortable and quietly polished. And for finishing touches, I love the new handcrafted ‘Mykonos’ necklace by Julietta and Saint Laurent’s chic sunglasses.”

“I love the oversized shape and exaggerated details of Khaite’s ‘Owey’ jacket. The navy shade offers a fresh update on classic black, too. I’ve also fallen for Cecilie Bahnsen’s ‘Birdie’ jacket, which is light enough to wear in late summer but roomy enough to layer up once it gets colder. I like the contrast of a functional jacket with something more polished, so I will be styling mine with tailored pants or over eveningwear for a high-low mix. A great pair of loafers is the perfect transitional shoe for updating summer’s short hemlines. I’ll be wearing Dries Van Noten’s loafers with bare legs and white ankle socks now, and with denim or relaxed tailoring later on in the year. Another perfect mid-season shoe, Chloé’s buckled boots will toughen up your look for fall if you’ve bought into the brand’s romantic vision this summer. I love the versatility of a jersey dress, so adding Loewe’s style to my wish list was a no-brainer – the fitted, asymmetric silhouette is so flattering. Lastly, I’ve long dreamed of owning a piece by Marie Lichtenberg, and this diamond-encrusted ‘Candy Cane’ necklace would work perfectly with my everyday jewelry stack.”

“I’ve always been a fan of strong suiting because of the way it makes me feel, and red is my all-time favorite color, so the moment I saw this velvet Etro suit, it went straight onto my wish list. For shoes, I’ve been eyeing Bally’s ‘Pathy’ pair in military green. They’re versatile but still feel unexpected; and I love how a boat shoe works with everything from denim to miniskirts. I never leave the house without jewelry, and Jia Jia’s exquisite quartz ring feels like the perfect little porte-bonheur. For bags, I’m loving Liffner’s off-white suede bucket bag – it’s super-chic but still practical – and adds a nice lightness to any look. I’m always drawn to statement outerwear, and Nour Hammour’s belted suede ‘Romana’ jacket from our exclusive edit is a standout that I know will elevate anything I pair it with. Finally, I’ve wanted a coat by Liberowe for a while now, and this structured style might just be the one.”

“One of the things I get most excited about heading into fall is coats – a long, tailored wool coat will always be a key staple in my closet – and this Victoria Beckham style is my current obsession. I also love tonal dressing and have been really into chocolate-brown lately, so this gorgeous Tom Ford cashmere knit has also caught my eye; I love the asymmetric neckline. I’m constantly on the hunt for my next best pair of jeans, and I think this Khaite pair will tick all the boxes. They’re versatile enough to wear both casually and to the office, which is a must for me – practicality is so important when it comes to my wardrobe. While on set recently, I tried on a pair of Jil Sander flats and instantly fell in love – the stitching detail on the leather and the silver ankle strap earned them a spot on my wish list. Lastly, anyone who knows me, knows I love a Western touch, so these Paris Texas cowboy boots and Liffner’s bucket saddle bag are also calling my name.”

“For me, a statement skirt is the perfect building block for any outfit – and can be worn to the office with a kitten heel or boots when the weather gets colder. I plan to refresh my collection this season with styles in interesting shapes and fabrics, like Khaite’s floaty ‘Nina’ in burgundy silk-organza. I’m also on the hunt for a trans-seasonal jacket, and they don’t get much better than Nour Hammour’s ‘Dalma’ style – the suede feels so soft and luxurious, and I love the relaxed bomber shape. Speaking of trans-seasonal pieces, I’m always in the market for a knitted dress and Gabriela Hearst’s ‘Meier’ midi will be so easy to layer with a chunky cardi – Blazé Milano’s wool and cashmere-blend style is perfection – or a beautiful brown coat come fall. I’m really leaning into boho right now, and this lace-trimmed blouse by Chloé is just perfect – especially when paired with jeans and Le Monde Béryl’s ‘Claudia’ Mary Janes, which have shot straight to the top of my wish list.”
