A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
When it comes to powerhouse tailoring, few do it better than Saint Laurent. The maison has been creating sharply cut suits since 1966 when it first introduced the ‘Le Smoking’ jacket to the world – a tuxedo that would go on to empower women in their style choices. Joining its ranks from the FW24 runway collection, the brand’s oversized wool blazer is defined by strong shoulders and a narrow waist; a silhouette favored by the house’s eponymous late founder and executed beautifully by current creative director Anthony Vaccarello.
The beauty of a piece like this is that it can transform an outfit in seconds – whether you’re slipping it on over jeans during the day or a trusty LBD for a party – yet it still feels timeless. “Saint Laurent’s blazer is the perfect investment piece as it’s so versatile,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Millie Parry. “For daytime, I’d balance the exaggerated shape with streamlined separates, such as Lisa Yang’s cashmere sweater, straight-leg jeans by Khaite and Gucci’s beautiful canvas-jacquard ballet flats, but I love that it can be dressed up with a mini skirt and heeled sandals in the evening, too.”
Whether your schedule involves a day of appointments or social gatherings, you’ll need a bag that’s comfortable enough to carry from day to night and roomy enough to hold your essentials. Featured in our NET SUSTAIN edit, Chloé’s ‘Camera’ bag in supple brown leather is inspired by utilitarian vintage styles and equipped with multiple pockets. Plus, it has a detachable top handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, so you can switch depending on your plans.
Finally, there’s no better way to elevate wardrobe staples than with gleaming jewels, especially those in sleek, sculptural shapes. A fine example, L’Atelier Nawbar’s 18-karat gold ‘Tuxedo Mask’ necklace is strung with a diamond-encrusted pendant and will look very chic layered over a turtleneck. Finally, Lié Studio’s ‘The Simone’ earrings come in a chunky hoop shape and are destined to be your new everyday favorites.
