A lesson in effortless elegance, courtesy of Loro Piana
For FW20, the storied Italian house debuted decidedly modern pieces that deftly blended world-class quality with contemporary design. The result? A collection of covetable closet staples that promise to take your everyday look to another level
With ‘made in Italy’ long being considered the sartorial gold standard, it should come as no surprise that each and every piece Loro Piana puts its name to is crafted and carefully finished at home in Italy, where fashion expertise abounds and homegrown specialists have elevated it to an art form. However, what may seem a little more unlikely is where Loro Piana found inspiration for its faultless FW20 collection. Not from the mountainous landscape of the label’s home in Piedmont, nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps, but in modern metropolises. Specifically, urban landscapes in fall, with their rust, copper and caramel hues of autumnal leaves. The resulting collection is a series of painstakingly crafted yet understated pieces that would slot effortlessly into any woman’s existing closet. When it comes to getting dressed, if we’ve learned one thing from the events of the past year, it’s the value of versatile pieces that strike the balance between elegance and ease. Not to mention the fact that our clothes provide more than we previously thought in terms of comfort, emotional support and solace; it’s hard to overstate just how much the cozy feeling of being cocooned in wool can lift your mood.

If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate wear-anywhere outfit, look no further than Loro Piana’s chic cashmere separates. Whether you gravitate towards wide-leg pants, finished with a sweater and classic cardigan, all cast in a tranquil shade of powder blue, or a ribbed, long-line camel tunic layered over a coordinating pair of flared pants, let these refined looks be your go-to, whether you’re lounging at home, venturing back into the office or heading out for a leisurely walk with friends. With fabric this fine, every item by Loro Piana qualifies as a forever piece, however, none more so than the label’s exceptional cashmere trench. This is a coat to be worn, and cherished, for years to come. The perfect finishing touch to any ensemble, shrug yours on over everything from slip dresses and blue denim to oversized knits. In the interest of staying true to the brand’s vision of fall in the city, we’d recommend belting it over a slim-fit turtleneck and a pair of suitably plush suede flares for a look that is at once timely and utterly timeless.
Of course, it goes without saying that what sets Loro Piana apart from its peers is the incomparable quality of its pieces – the heritage house is renowned for sourcing the finest cashmere from across the globe and combining time-honored tradition with technological innovations. The label produces clothes that are at-once familiar and exceptional in that they feel so soft and comforting, that once you add a Loro Piana sweater, coat or tracksuit to your closet, you’ll be loath to wear anything else. The ultimate allure of Loro Piana is that its luxe yet laid-back pieces can elevate not only your look, but also your mood – an invaluable attribute at a time when we could all do with a few more reasons to be cheerful.
