A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Synonymous with the British countryside for decades, field jackets have been worn by everyone from members of the royal family to festival goers at Glastonbury, but rarely have they been viewed as a polished city staple – until now, thanks to their appearance on the FW24 runways.
“Field jackets are having a huge moment, and this oversized version by Toteme (a highlight from our NET SUSTAIN edit) is the perfect fall investment,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping editor, Viktorija Tomasevic. “I love the ‘Bark’ shade of brown, contrasting corduroy collar and matching elbow patches,” she adds. Made using waxed organic cotton sourced from heritage weavers in the UK, it has all the utilitarian details you’d expect from such a piece, but comes in a loose, swing shape that’s perfect for layering over chunky knits.
On the subject of knitwear, &Daughter’s ‘Balla’ sweater is guaranteed to brighten your day come rain or shine. Lovingly made in Donegal, Ireland, it’s linked and finished entirely by hand from soft, weighty lambswool, and comes in vibrant ‘Pagoda Green’ that will make any outfit pop. Wear yours on weekends with Nili Lotan’s relaxed ‘Mitchell’ jeans and chunky boots – Loewe’s ‘Blaze’ pair has been crafted in Italy from smooth, glossy leather and rests on comfortable gripped soles, making it ideal for rainy days.
The easiest way to elevate everyday staples is with jewelry. Marla Aaron’s 14-karat gold ‘Lock’ necklace comes with a striking emerald and diamond-encrusted carabiner clasp that you can attach other charms to – the New York-based designer refers to her designs as “jewel tools” and loves the idea of the wearer making it their own. Wear it every day as a standalone piece or layered with delicate chains.
Finally, whether you’re commuting, gallery hopping or heading to brunch, you’ll need a versatile bag that will comfortably carry essentials, including a water bottle, book and sunglasses case. Saint Laurent’s textured leather ‘Le 5 à 7’ tote has a slouchy bucket shape that has ample space inside, and is minimally detailed with the brand’s iconic interlocking logo.
