A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
If one color has dominated fashion headlines in recent months, it’s yellow. Mood-boosting hues, ranging from canary to buttermilk, have all appeared on the runways – and its takeover is set to continue for PF24. “I adore Jil Sander’s maxi dress, which comes in one of my favorite colors this season – a buttery, lemon yellow,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Connie Daw. The beauty of this muted shade is that it’s as versatile as any neutral, yet bright enough to make an impact – especially in a silhouette as chic as Sander’s style. Knitted from a blend of wool, mohair and silk for softness, it beautifully skims your figure as it falls and has a breezy split hem that’s perfect for showing off your shoes.
Whether you’re wearing yours to an alfresco dinner on vacation or a rooftop party in the city, Daw suggests elevating the look “with a pair of strappy sandals and layers of gleaming gold jewelry.” The perfect finishing touches, LA-based brand Established’s diamond ring is inspired by vintage name plates, while Mateo’s 14-karat gold bracelet is strung with an assortment of lustrous baroque pearls. Not only are they beautiful, but these are pieces you will wear time and time again.
Continuing the theme of effortless, wear-anywhere separates, Khaite’s impeccably tailored ‘Caiton’ pants are true transseasonal heroes. A refined take on utilitarian cargo styles, they’re made from white grain de poudre and look just as polished styled with swimwear as they do a crisp shirt or a lightweight cardigan. If you’re heading straight from the beach to dinner during your vacation, then slip them on over Zimmermann’s ‘Halliday’ bikini, which is patterned with pretty ice-cream stripes, or a sleek bodysuit. Finally, add Aquazzura’s metallic leather ‘Felix’ slides to tie the look together.
Wherever your summer plans take you, a practical, wear-anywhere tote is a must for keeping your essentials in check. Gucci’s leather-trimmed raffia style is spacious enough to carry everything you’ll need for picnics, chilled beach days and long-haul flights – including a blanket or towel and a water bottle. Keep Celine Eyewear’s oversized aviator-style sunglasses in the inside pouch, so you have them within arms reach the moment the sun begins to shine.
