Your Personal Shopper Loves… Reem Shares Her Wardrobe Essentials For Timeless Style
Get to know the top picks and styling tips of NET-A-PORTER’s Personal Shoppers, as they reveal their seasonal staples and how to wear them. Here, Reem, from our Middle East team, shares her must-have pieces for starting the year in style
A transitional blazer
“A blazer is essential for every capsule closet, as it’s a chic go-to staple that can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. It’s worth investing in a variety of styles and fabrics that suit warmer and colder months, and I always advise my clients to have a combination of neutral and bright color options in their wardrobe. This season, Isabel Marant has an impressive offering of versatile and fun blazers, appropriate for either daytime or evening dressing. And if you’re looking for exceptional quality and craftsmanship, consider The Row. I also love the simplicity of Toteme’s designs – whether it’s an oversized, casual piece or a more structured, formal blazer, the brand excels at trans-seasonal options.”
Straight-leg jeans
“When it comes to straight-leg jeans, I love pieces by Khaite, Toteme and Good American. These brands offer a vast selection of low-, mid- and high-rise styles in various cuts, colors and fabrics that are suitable for all shapes and sizes. A high-rise fit is ideal for comfort and practicality, as it can be styled with a crisp shirt and sneakers for a smart-casual daytime look, or dressed up for an after-dark event with strappy sandals, a handbag and jewels. I recommend having a few key pairs of straight-leg jeans in your wardrobe: lighter denims for the day, darker washes for the evening, plus glossy leather pairs, which also work well as timeless foundation pieces.”
Heeled sandals
“Bottega Veneta is my go-to for heeled sandals. The broad selection of minimal and classic styles – whether it’s wedged or kitten heels – makes them perfect for the office, off-duty and after-dark events, while embellished styles add a touch of glamour to an understated outfit. Gianvito Rossi’s heels are also a must-have in any wardrobe. The brand’s signature leather and PVC heels are a key investment piece, appropriate for the day or the evening. And Saint Laurent’s barely-there sandals are my personal favorites, as they are timeless and elegant. Whether you prefer a matte or patent-leather finish, or even a pair of mules, there is something for every taste.”
