Most Wanted

What’s on your vision board for 2024? As you set resolutions and intentions for the year ahead, allow space for mood-boosting fashion that will empower and uplift you along the way. Now is not the time for a total wardrobe overhaul based on loose ideas or new hobbies that may or may not take off. Instead, it’s a moment for a fresh start that begins with a considered closet detox and ends with the slow curation of a capsule filled with clever investments.

When building an elevated wardrobe that revolves around style, versatility and longevity, there are a few timeless staples that our fashion team always stays faithful to – and a great shirt is one of them. “An oversized cotton shirt is probably the hardest-working item I own,” says NET-A-PORTER’s senior fashion assistant Annie Hertikova. “I always feel good in this piece because it has the power to smarten up even the most casual looks, and the relaxed fit means I never have to compromise on comfort.” For a style that you can rely on, turn to Toteme, a label that’s constantly exploring the idea of a modern uniform. Founded by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman in 2014, the Stockholm-based brand excels at perfected cuts and carefully chosen fabrics that slot seamlessly into well-curated wardrobes, and its pieces never fail to transcend passing trends.

“What I like about Toteme’s ‘Signature’ pinstriped cotton-poplin shirt is how easily it will pair with lighter tailoring and chic loafers,” explains Hertikova. “Plus, it will double up as a beach coverup later in the year,” she adds. Try Nanushka for cream wide-leg pants that aren’t too heavy and look to Gianvito Rossi for fail-safe black leather loafers – the soft structure will complement the slouchy shape of The Row’s ‘Salpa Margaux 17’ tote, which is available exclusively at NET-A-PORTER.

Bringing things back to versatility, you will need more than one go-to pair of shoes to keep your outfits feeling fresh throughout the season – and the same goes for bags and jewelry. Part of our consciously crafted NET SUSTAIN edit in support of responsible leather manufacturing through the Leather Working Group, Toteme’s ‘The Mid Heel’ croc-effect ankle boots are the right height for day-to-night dressing and the color will coordinate to the strap on IWC Schaffhausen’s elegant ‘Portofino’ watch, too.

Sparkling gold jewelry is just the thing for a final flourish of polish, like Anita Ko’s sculptural ‘Zoe’ ring made from gleaming 18-karat gold and set with twinkly diamonds. Last but not least, one hack for quick elevation is to layer a simple chain necklace beneath the open collar of your shirts. Handmade from 18-karat recycled gold, Foundrae’s ‘Oversized Mixed Clip’ necklace has circular links that can be personalized with charms or pendants to suit different looks and occasions.
