Once you have the foundations of your fall closet, build on the basics with directional pieces that reflect your individual style. Jacquemus ‘Le Manteau Lacciu’ coat is both fashion-forward and versatile. Cut from luxe 100 per cent black wool, it will go with everything and features intricate lacing along the lapels. Cinch the sleek profile into an hourglass shape and pair with a silk maxi for a festive night out, or go bold and wear it as a dress with pumps.

For a piece with insider appeal, look to Loewe. The label’s irreverent balloon motif is a favorite of The Crown’s Emma Corrin and content creator Leia Sfez – and this stretch-jersey top offers an understated way to wear the bold print. “Loewe’s peach balloon-print top would be a great addition to my fall weekend closet,” says Sabina Khan, NET-A-PORTER’s senior fashion assistant. “It’s perfect for styling with wide-leg jeans, a long brown coat and comfy sneakers for daytime. I’d accessorize with a dark brown belt and Saint Laurent’s ‘Le 5 à 7’ shoulder bag. For the evening, I might wear platform heels with a shearling leather jacket or brown velvet blazer – a nod to ’70s style, which I am really into at the moment.”

A unique piece of jewelry or sleek handbag can add a renewed sense of confidence to fail-safe fall outfits. Foundrae’s 18-karat gold and quartz ‘Wholeness’ necklace is a beautiful example. It instantly dresses up jeans and a sweater, as well as looking divine with a scooped neckline. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta’s classic ‘Cassette’ shoulder bag or a chic pair of sunglasses by Balenciaga Eyewear would make the perfect gift for any fashion enthusiast.
