Trending Now: 9 Upgrades Approved By Our Shopping Experts

“Looking for a cozy yet polished forever jacket? Say hello to shearling,” says NET-A-PORTER’s shopping assistant Millie Parry. A hit with showgoers at Paris Fashion Week, shearling outerwear cropped up on several runways, including at Isabel Marant, where quintessential camel coats were matched with slouchy leather boots. “For spring, the ‘Alinae’ jacket will effortlessly pair with everything from jeans to slip dresses,” reveals Parry, who already has the style on her wish list. If a black jacket is missing from your capsule wardrobe, try Tod’s elevated biker style, which is exclusive to NET-A-PORTER. Curly cream trims define its double-breasted silhouette, and zippers make choosing coordinating silver jewelry so easy.

One of spring’s trending hues might take you by surprise, as it’s neither pale nor pastel. Enter midnight blue and its everlasting versatility. “A deep, inky blue should be treated as a neutral in your wardrobe and will see you through many seasons beyond SS24,” says NET-A-PORTER’s shopping assistant Connie Parkinson, adding that one sleek color combination is firmly on her radar. “Ignore everything you’ve ever heard about avoiding pairing blue with black,” she shares. “It can be incredibly chic.” Wear The Row’s ‘Abby’ shoulder bag with a navy sweater, indigo jeans and black loafers, or slip the strap of Métier’s ‘Stowaway’ style across an oversized black blazer.

If Princess Diana remains your athleisure icon (and why wouldn’t she?), the new year is reason enough to upgrade your rotation of slouchy sweatshirts. An influencer-favorite, Marant Étoile’s ‘Mobyli’ style is updated for spring/summer ’24 with a splash of yellow that’s so uplifting, it could have been taken straight from a Hockney painting. Eschew Lady Di’s go-to bicycle shorts in favor of white wide-leg jeans and sneakers. Alternatively, set a reminder for a healthy 2024 routine with Sporty & Rich’s crew-neck. Made in Los Angeles using US-grown cotton, it’s printed with reminders to be nice, sleep more and drink water.

There’s no denying the kitten heel was a divisive fashion choice for some time, but this diminutive style is now firmly back on the agenda, bringing with it uncomplicated ease of wear and low-key elegance. Part of our consciously crafted NET SUSTAIN edit, Toteme’s ‘The Slim’ mock-croc ankle boots come in a gorgeously rich chocolate brown and a minimalist shape that will work with straight-leg jeans or tailoring. Elsewhere, Aeyde’s ‘Zoe’ boots in supple suede promise to add soft texture to any outfit.

Statement interior additions are trending for spring/summer ’24, and sculptural pieces are set to steal the show. Blown from recycled glass in four pretty colors, Completedworks’ wine glasses are sure to spark many a conversation, thanks to the way each one resembles a mini artwork. Hand-molded by craftspeople who have honed their skills over decades, Louise Roe’s ceramic ‘Balloon’ vase will add interest to minimalist schemes and spaces – place it on top of your favorite coffee-table book.

FW23’s obsession with leather (whether it’s real or faux) continues into spring, but how to wear it requires both thought and access to a weather app. “Regardless of the season, a leather skirt is a great foundation piece, and I particularly love how clean, polished and refined Esse Studios’ ‘Milos’ midi is,” says NET-A-PORTER’s junior shopping editor Viktorija Tomasevic. “I plan to wear mine on repeat this month with second-skin polo knits and knee-high boots, switching to button-down shirts and slingback pumps when temperatures lift,” she adds. Apply the same styling rules to Tom Ford’s patent croc-effect mini skirt, which nods to the designer’s legendary ’90s era.

Join fashion-conscious skiers on your trip to Whistler or St. Moritz this year with performance-wear that looks the part. Red is going nowhere for SS24, and it lands Mackage’s ‘Elle-Z’ ski suit at the top of our wish lists. If neutrals are more your thing, turn to Brunello Cucinelli for an elegant NET-A-PORTER exclusive. The label’s quilted, water-repellent ski jacket is dotted with signature Monili beads that will glisten in the mountain sun, and has zipped pockets for your chalet key and a hydrating lip balm. New to the slopes? Consider borrowing skiwear first through our rental partnership with By Rotation and Hurr.

While it’s true that words such as ‘timeless’ and ‘iconic’ are often bandied about in fashion, the little black dress has earned its right to be prefixed by both. This season, the staple is updated with a variety of romantic twists, including floral appliqué and delicate trims. Essential to the plot of Valentino Garavani’s #MasteryTales series, roses are peppered through the maison’s spring/summer ’24 line in homage to the flower’s beginnings on its ‘Fiesta’ dress of 1959. Cut, pressed and sewn, the ivory petals look most distinctive on LBDs – as modeled by Ilana Hansen in the house’s new campaign. Khaite’s mini dress is more subtle and alluring, with tonal strips of eyelash lace at the neckline and hem.

Peek inside the jewelry box of any style magpie and you’re certain to find a twinkling tennis bracelet (or two). An undeniable classic, the design first became popular in the 1920s, when it was known as an eternity bracelet, and trended heavily again from the ’70s onwards, when disco-goers teamed denim with diamonds and a certain tennis star famously wore (and lost) hers on court. Jennifer Meyer’s tennis bracelet is handmade from 18-karat gold with brilliant-cut stones, while Stone and Strand’s gleaming 14-karat-gold style is aptly named ‘Baseline’. Make one your everyday signature alongside a fine watch, or create a stack for maximum shimmer.
