The Chicest Trans-Seasonal Pieces To Update Your Look Now
We round up the sleekest trans-seasonal styles guaranteed to refresh your look – and earn a space in your forever closet
Denim for days
Denim is many things – hardworking, reliable, effortlessly cool – but it’s rarely considered to be the star of the show, until now. In a heavily washed denim to achieve the look of genuine vintage, Loewe’s ‘Trapeze’ jacket will complement similar light washes, but is smart enough to style with a slip dress or tailoring in the evening, too. Meanwhile, in line with its ongoing commitments to responsibly made fashion, Agolde’s ‘Low Curve’ jeans from our NET SUSTAIN edit are made using regenerative cotton and come in a relaxed, wide-leg shape. If skirts are more your speed, then you’ll love Victoria Beckham’s asymmetric midi, detailed with skewed seams and a cargo pocket at the back. Team yours with a crisp white shirt and low-heeled mules for the office.

The oversized shirt
From diaphanous chiffons to crisp cotton-poplins, this season, oversized shirts come in a host of different fabrics (and colors). Look to Sporty & Rich for preppy styles with a boy-borrowed fit – the brand’s ‘Vendome’ style has an embroidered crest on the front pocket and looks chic tucked into jeans. Elsewhere, you can’t go wrong with stripes. Acne Studios’ cotton Oxford shirt is patterned with classic vertical lines, while Bettter’s style is perfect if you prefer yours with a touch more oomph – darting at the waist creates the most beautiful hourglass shape, so wear yours untucked over pants. To ensure optimum versatility, put your shirt to work between seasons by layering it under a wool vest, or with a cashmere knit knotted nonchalantly around the shoulders.

A statement knit
A statement knit is the personality piece every wardrobe needs. Guaranteed to make an impact yet easy to style, the best versions come in unmissable paintbox-brights that will elevate everyday denim and other casual separates. Arch4’s lipstick-red organic cashmere polo shirt has a slim fit that’s easy to layer underneath a denim jacket or blazer. Elsewhere, Ulla Johnson’s jacquard-knitted cardigan nails the leopard-print trend, while The Elder Statesman’s makes a convincing case for florals in fall.

Lightweight jacket
While it’s true that tricky trans-seasonal weather often calls for a jacket that can be thrown on over anything, your last-minute layer should look just as good as the rest of your outfit. Not too thin or thick, Nour Hammour’s ‘Drey’ jacket from our NET SUSTAIN edit and exclusive to NET-A-PORTER comes in versatile army-green and will add instant elegance to outfits – balance the relaxed shape proportionally with high-rise, wide-leg pants or an A-line midi skirt. Other beautiful pieces from our NET SUSTAIN selection, which you’ll still adore wearing in five years’ time, include Acne Studios’ classic beige cotton-dupioni jacket, complete with a drawstring waist and Stella McCartney’s impeccable wool-twill blazer.

Preppy loafers
The perfect flat shoe does exist. Comfortable, practical and stylish – what’s not to love about fashion’s current obsession with going low? Topping the wish lists of fashion editors and content creators in every major fashion city this season is the classic loafer. The epitome of timeless style, Saint Laurent’s ‘Le Loafer’ is crafted from glossed leather and will add polish to every outfit. Try it with relaxed tailoring or a mini dress and ankle socks. Alternatively, make a statement in Gucci’s sleek beige suede version.

The does-it-all dress
The key to any well-curated closet is to add pieces that really go the extra mile between seasons. Do-it-all dresses are the kind that are light enough to layer with knitwear or an oversized jacket when there’s still a chill in the air, but will easily make an impact on their own, too. Kallmeyer’s beautifully draped ‘Victoria’ dress from the runway comes in a gorgeous turquoise shade, while Dôen’s ‘Bijou’ dress from our NET SUSTAIN edit is perfect if you prefer darker tones. Alternatively, look for slightly heavier fabrics that won’t leave you feeling too hot or cold when you’re only planning to add boots or sandals. Altuzarra’s long-sleeved, ribbed knit ‘Gia’ dress is a total winner.
