A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
With unpredictable weather to contend with, between-season dressing can feel challenging. The solution? Layering. It’s a styling trick that is not only practical, it looks effortless when done right. Thank goodness for clever designers like Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo, who has simplified things with his two-in-one T-shirt set. Featuring a smooth white tee beneath a poppy-red, ribbed halterneck, it adds a preppy, unexpected twist to off-duty looks. Wear it with Agolde’s high-waisted wide-leg jeans and Maison Margiela’s ‘Tabi’ ballet flats, complete with the brand’s distinctive split toe, for brunches, gallery-hopping and more. Better still, the two layered tops are not attached, so you can also style them solo (value and versatility at its finest).
For NET-A-PORTER fashion assistant Maya Gunavardhana, savvy layering makes this Marni summer dress spring-appropriate. “Spring is, dare I say it, almost upon us in London, and while it’s not quite time to pack your sweaters away just yet, it’s a good opportunity to get creative with your wardrobe,” says Gunavardhana. “Easily layered under a knit, this dress provides the perfect foundation for a spring outfit.”
This approach extends to accessories and our makeup bags, too – pop in Jacquemus’ sculptural, gold-tone ‘Les Boucles’ earrings, then pile on gold bangles and your look is instantly evening-appropriate. Meanwhile, Sisley’s moisturizing Le Phyto Rouge lipstick has a buildable finish. Keep it in your handbag – we love Gucci’s dress-code-defying crescent-shaped design – to apply for a subtle flush by day and a more striking, saturated effect for evening.
Alternatively, snap up Balenciaga’s ‘Le City’ tote bag, which is exclusively available at NET-A-PORTER for a limited time. Inspired by vintage biker jackets, the studded style will be your perfect ally for city days and beyond.
The very first thing we tend to buy in anticipation of brighter days is a new pair of sunglasses. For an update on a classic shape, consider Bottega Veneta Eyewear’s angular aviators. Paired with everything from tailoring in the city to bikinis abroad, they’ll add a directional feel to every look.
