Most Wanted

New York Fashion Week is in full swing and we’re celebrating the designers positioning Manhattan as a paragon of style. One such label is Proenza Schouler. The design duo behind the label, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, draws on contemporary art and youth culture to create vibrant patterned pieces. This red and white turtleneck perfectly embodies the label’s DNA, and Connie Parkinson, NET-A-PORTER’s shopping assistant, describes it as a versatile must-have with both understated and high-impact appeal.

“Proenza Schouler’s tie-dye pieces have been a favorite amongst the fashion-week crowd for some time, and this season’s vibrant turtleneck has endless styling potential,” says Parkinson. “One of the color combinations I adore wearing is red with camel, so adding the timeless ‘Phelton’ coat from Khaite with a great pair of jeans would be my go-to. Layer the top under tailoring or a sleeveless dress to elevate your workwear wardrobe. And for maximalists, pair with the coordinating A-line skirt and have fun with contrasting accessories to brighten up your look even further.”

Indeed, when indulging in elevated staples, New York native Khaite is a fail-safe choice. Lauded by industry insiders for its modern take on minimalism, designer Catherine Holstein knows exactly how to balance practicality with refinement, and the label’s chic new ‘Olivia’ leather tote is destined to be the cult handbag you wear with everything.

The new season is the perfect time to update the hardest-working part of your closet, and the addition of Peter Do’s two-tone jeans will ensure a directional take on your wardrobe foundations. Debuted during the brand’s first official presentation at New York Fashion Week, the denim is crafted from 100 percent organic cotton and features a flattering high-rise, straight-leg silhouette. Wear them during the day with your favorite knits, then slip on a pair of The Row’s leather pumps and a black tank top for evening outings.
