After taking a break from the schedule last season, Tove is set to make a welcome return to London Fashion Week on Sunday, and our editors are already predicting it to be one of the highlights. There’s an undone sophistication to the brand’s collections that not only reflects the irreverent attitude of London style but feels entirely wearable in any setting. Already spotted on The White Lotus actor Alexandra Daddario on the red carpet, the striking ‘Orea’ maxi dress from the pre-fall ’25 lineup is a beautiful choice for an event or drinks with friends. It’s cut from the smoothest stretch-jersey and is gathered at the hips, creating a flattering hourglass silhouette.

“There’s no brand I trust quite like Tove when it comes to effortlessly elegant, timeless dresses that make me look and feel my best. I've worn the beloved brand to weddings, cocktail parties, award ceremonies and dinners, and the exquisite cut of the designs flatters every figure,” says NET-A-PORTER’s content director, Alice Casely-Hayford. “Where I've previously been drawn to deep plum, neutral or monochrome, this scarlet dress is at the top of my wish list for fall and party season. I’ll be teaming it with a leather jacket and stiletto-heeled boots (I have my eye on Jimmy Choo’s ‘Beren’ pair from NET-A-PORTER’s exclusive edit) for day and my favourite embellished slingbacks for the evening.”

Speaking of leather jackets, leave it to Simone Rocha to recreate the iconic biker in the most romantic way possible. Forming part of the opening look on the fall/winter ’25 runway, this sculptural style has Victorian-inspired sleeves, a belted waist, and – the best part – a signature oversized bow at the back. Follow Casely-Hayford’s lead by wearing it with a dress or go a touch more casual with a logo tee and jeans. Agolde’s ‘Harper’ pair from our NET SUSTAIN edit has a neat straight-leg shape that works with any style of shoe, from sneakers to ballet flats, including Le Monde Béryl’s ‘Claudia’ Mary Janes in glossy croc-effect leather.

Whether you’re dashing between shows or commuting to the office, a do-it-all tote big enough to stow away your laptop and other daily essentials will make moving through the day a lot easier. Another NET SUSTAIN highlight, DeMellier’s signature ‘New York’ bag is reworked this season in leopard-print calf hair and will elevate work and weekend outfits alike.
