Most Wanted

Of the four major fashion cities, Milan is the one best known for bold, high-octane style, which is on full display this week as some of the industry’s biggest brands showcase their SS25 collections. One designer that never shies away from making a sartorial statement is Bottega Veneta – take its vibrant sweater as a case in a point. Crafted from plush wool-bouclé, it’s patterned with punchy rainbow stripes that will give your fall wardrobe a joyful hit of color.

“Bottega Veneta’s sweater is the perfect way to brighten up your closet,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Haajira Muzzamil. “I’d style it with a long tailored coat and a colorful bag, keeping it fun but also chic,” she adds. When it comes to the perfect pairing, you can’t go wrong with denim. Featured in our NET SUSTAIN edit, Gucci’s straight-leg jeans are designed with floor-grazing hems that not only create a leg-lengthening effect, but look chic layered over pointed-toe heels, creating a striking silhouette.

It’s no secret that a beautifully made coat can transform an outfit, adding polish to casual separates and a quiet confidence to evening ensembles. It’s why Max Mara’s coats have been so sought after since the late 1950s. Embodying both timeless elegance and refined Italian craftsmanship, the brand’s ‘Fungo’ style, which was first seen on the FW24 runway, is immaculately cut from soft camel hair in a double-breasted shape, with sharp peak lapels and an inverted pleat at the back. Offset the sumptuous tan tone with Versace’s sweet cherry-red, top-handle tote.

For days when you’ll be spending a lot of time on your feet, but still want to look put together, a kitten heel is a fail-safe footwear choice. Standing at just two inches tall, Gianvito Rossi’s glossy ‘Tokio 55’ ankle boots are both comfortable and polished – not to mention endlessly versatile. They’ll elevate tailoring, denim and midi dresses in myriad ways. Complete your look with Valentino Garavani’s ‘VLOGO Moon’ bag in hardwearing textured leather, then simply add a pair of sunglasses – remember, the bigger the frame, the bigger the impact.
