Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
As far as new-season investments go, a suede jacket for spring may not be the most groundbreaking, but it’s certainly the smartest – timeless, versatile and achingly cool, what’s not to love? First seen on the SS25 runway, shrugged over an unbuttoned blouse, Saint Laurent’s version comes in an oversized bomber shape with varsity-style raglan sleeves and oversized pockets you can comfortably slip your hands into for an air of Parisian nonchalance.
“I have been on the hunt for the perfect suede jacket all season but have been patiently waiting for the arctic temperatures to turn to commit to the purchase,” says NET-A-PORTER’s buying editor, Abbi Minchin. “For me, this Saint Laurent style ticks every box. Not too cropped, the perfect shade of tan and lightweight enough to take me into the warmer months,” she adds. These very qualities make it versatile enough to wear with almost anything, from breezy boho dresses to sharply tailored pants – and, of course, denim.
Whichever outfit you choose, be sure to finish with a few sleek accessories. Toteme’s ‘T-Lock’ has been reworked this season in tactile woven leather and comes with a detachable shoulder strap, so you can wear it crossbody by day and turn it into a clutch bag for evening. Be sure to keep a pair of Prada Eyewear’s oval-frame sunglasses in it during the day so that you always have them to hand – their classic shape makes them a timeless everyday choice. Finally, pop in Completedworks’ sculptural recycled gold vermeil earrings to complete your look.
Shirts are a fail-safe choice in the warmer months, whether you’re dressing for work or the weekend. Faithfull’s ‘En Vau’ style is part of our NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted pieces – made from a yarn-dyed organic cotton blend and beautifully embroidered with a striped pattern that nods to a vintage design from the ’20s. Wear it to the office with Christopher Esber’s straight-leg pinstriped pants, adding a pop of color via Aeyde’s ‘Ilvy’ mules in lipstick-red leather.
If you’re as obsessed with Alaïa’s bags as we are, then waste no time adding its newest ‘Le Click’ bag to your basket. This version comes in velvety-soft tan nubuck and has a flexible gold-tone frame, creating a curved shape that was inspired by the iconic spiral atrium of New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum – which was the location for the brand’s SS25 show, so you can safely consider it as wearable art.
