A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Milan Fashion Week – currently underway in the Italian city – is the perfect opportunity to slip into a medley of iconic designs from some of the country’s foremost fashion houses. Valentino’s high-rise, wide-leg jeans, for example, can be dressed up or down, and the cropped hemline is ideal for showing off statement heels. Style with a silk blouse and Bottega Veneta’s pointed-toe pumps for a look that easily transitions between work and the weekend, then finish with the brand’s matching ‘Sardine’ bag and gold jewels for after-dark glamour. Jil Sander’s nautical top, on the other hand, is the perfect pairing for an understated outfit with polish. Wear yours with denim and Gucci’s ‘Jordaan’ loafers, which are cut from the brand’s signature ‘GG’ canvas jacquard.
For a spring-closet refresh, consider an expertly tailored blazer in a vibrant hue to elevate workwear or add structure to whimsical dresses. Gucci’s version debuted on the brand’s Resort 2023 runway, its striking ‘Shamrock’ shade ensuring it was a standout piece in the collection. Annie Hertikova, NET-A-PORTER’s senior fashion assistant, describes it as a must-have for enlivening monochrome outfits. “When I’m in a style rut or short of time, I reach for a blazer to achieve a polished look with minimal effort,” she says. “You can always rely on Gucci to deliver a bold design, and the brand’s vintage-inspired blazer is a timeless staple. It will brighten up workwear, but still look chic if you prefer to dress it down for the weekend – I would style it with denim, loafers and a black knitted tank for the office.”
It’s no secret that the right accessories can transform any outfit. Marni’s ‘Venice’ tote is roomy enough for your daytime essentials – including a tablet and cosmetics pouch – and the green resin handle adds a fresh, contemporary detail to office or off-duty looks. Meanwhile, jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez combines classic style with irreverent details. This elegant 18-karat-gold ring is adorned with an East-West emerald and two glistening diamonds in a distinctive ‘dancing’ setting. The delicate band is slim enough for stacking with the brand’s similarly covetable rings.
