Trending Now: Must-Have Pieces To Wear On Repeat, Beauty Heroes And More

As a perennial winter classic turned coveted seasonal staple, the Fair Isle sweater has been given a contemporary spin by brands including Khaite and Dôen. Khaite’s is inspired by après-ski styles and is crafted from 100 percent cashmere, with a cozy turtleneck and relaxed fit. Wear yours off-piste with leather pants and combat boots. For office days, a Fair Isle knit is an elevated alternative to the traditional festive sweater. Style with wool pants, a matching blazer and ankle boots for a chic and vibrant nine-to-five outfit.

A pair of sumptuous velvet shoes is perfect for party season, imbuing the simplest of eveningwear with a dose of glamour. Gianvito Rossi’s platform sandals will add an air of ’70s nostalgia to your festive look – style them with a slinky slip dress or sharp tailoring. When black-tie dressing is on the agenda, reach for Christian Louboutin’s sleek ‘Me Dolly’ mules, a fresh take on ’50s boudoir styles, with a dainty, curved silhouette and sharp, 100mm stiletto heels. Pair them with a gown, diamonds and a bold lip.

An elegant floor-length hem combined with sinuous details makes the cutout maxi dress a defining cocktail style of the season. For pieces that are guaranteed to make a statement, look to Christopher Esber and Mônot. The relaxed silhouette and plunging neckline of Christopher Esber’s ‘Triquetra’ silk maxi is subtly sexy. Mônot’s halterneck gown, on the other hand, has diamond-shaped cutouts that frame the figure. Wear it with strappy sandals and a metallic clutch for a festive look to remember.

Marlo Laz’s opulent ‘Alexandra’ necklace – available only at NET-A-PORTER – is guaranteed to become a treasured family heirloom. Reminiscent of royal jewels from the Rococo era, this piece can be paired with a strapless or square-neck evening gown, which will frame it beautifully. If a ring is more your style, Mason and Books’ ‘Becky’ design is set with a single emerald, a stone that is believed to symbolize truth and love, and is ideal for daily wear – try it on your pinkie or index finger.

Ahead of the new year, why not give your home an instant refresh with sophisticated additions to your décor? Whether you prefer understated or unconventional interiors, Helle Mardahl’s set of two glass pinch dishes will add color to your tablescape without overpowering the aesthetic of a room. Elsewhere, Loewe’s luxe mohair-blend blanket makes a stylish and practical present for cozying up during the festive season, or a decadent housewarming gift at any time of year.

When updating your collection of outerwear, consider an ultra-versatile two-in-one design. Yves Salomon’s belted option can be worn on either the plush shearling side or the smooth leather one, depending on the occasion – and the off-white hue looks divine with a tonal outfit for crisp winter walks. Meanwhile, Joseph’s shearling and leather ‘Britanny’ coat comes in an easy-to-style light brown, and the roomy fit is ideal for layering over chunky knitwear.

As far as wardrobe foundations go, black ankle boots are one of the hardest-working shoes in any footwear collection – and a sock-fit style will seamlessly take you from the office to after-dark events. The Row’s ‘Romy’ ankle boots feature vintage-feel topstitching and sculptural inverted stiletto heels that complement the enduring cool of a leather jacket and jeans as much as they toughen up a midi dress on a night out. Equally versatile are Aeyde’s smooth ‘Lola’ boots, which have smart square toes that pair perfectly with denim and midi skirts for an elevated off-duty outfit.

Leisurely days call for slipping into ultra-soft loungewear while unwinding at home, and floral pajamas are irresistibly luxurious. Inspired by 1920s loungewear, as loved by Coco Chanel, Olivia von Halle’s playful silk set is perfect for elevating an evening of self-care. Meanwhile, Desmond & Dempsey’s cotton pajamas are printed with cactus flowers that are hand-painted at the brand’s London studio. Slip them on with cashmere socks and you’re all set to curl up on the sofa.

To complete your party outfits, a high-shine evening bag is a must-have. Khaite’s ‘Lotus’ mini tote is sculpted in a fluid shape to resemble a scarf, and the crystal embellishments add a touch of sparkle to LBDs and tailoring. Elsewhere, Jimmy Choo’s ‘Bonny’ comes in a pretty lilac hue and pairs well with printed dresses and jewel-tone looks.

There are few better times of year to indulge in rest and relaxation than those low-key days during the festive season. Augustinus Bader’s The Body Oil is formulated with vitamin E, argan oil, olive-fruit oil and squalene to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. Apply it after a shower to lock in moisture and combat the effects of drying winter weather. For the ultimate indulgence, set the mood with Le Labo’s signature ‘Encens 9’ candle. The warming scent of frankincense, amber and clove is ideal for winter nights.
