A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Although vacation season is still in full swing, this time of year inevitably has us thinking of the months ahead – at least as far as our wardrobes are concerned. The smartest investments right now are those you envision taking with you into FW24.
Cut from weightless rose-pink crepon and trimmed with delicate guipure lace, this asymmetric midi dress by Swedish label Acne Studios is one you can wear to a late-summer wedding with strappy sandals, or with knee-high boots and a biker jacket when the weather cools. You could even layer it over jeans for a look approved by show-goers at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
The romantic detailing means you don’t have to go big on accessories, but they should still make an impact. Silver jewelry is a key pre-fall trend and an ideal way to lift deep berry tones. Alighieri’s ‘The Abundant Dream’ earrings are handcrafted from recycled metal in a molten teardrop shape and every bit as whimsical as their name suggests, while Bleue Burnham’s ring is handmade to resemble freshly cut grass.
As for timeless trans-seasonal staples, you can’t go wrong with a sumptuous knit. “La Ligne’s vibrant red ‘Mateo’ cardigan is the perfect style to throw on when there’s a light summer breeze,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Haajira Muzzamil. “It’s also super-versatile and a great way to add a pop of color to pared-back outfits without having to do too much by way of styling.” Knitted from a soft cashmere blend in a fitted shape with flared sleeves, it’s an ideal layer to slip over your shoulders on chilly summer nights, or wear buttoned up with tailoring when temperatures dip.
Speaking of tailoring, Isabel Marant’s wool-flannel ‘Casile’ pants will go with pretty much everything, from fine knits to oversized blazers and silk camisoles, ensuring you always feel put together, whether you’re heading to the office or dinner with friends. Complete an effortlessly chic look with flats and a supple clutch – Dries Van Noten’s knotted style comes with an optional shoulder strap, so you can easily carry it from day to night.
