From buzz-generating statement pieces to truly exceptional closet essentials, if you want to know what our fashion team is coveting this week, read on…
When it comes to taking a more sustainable approach to our closets, we all agree that investing in beautifully crafted basics is one of the smartest ways to shop, because once we find a piece we love, we wear it incessantly. Take Burberry’s precision-cut blazer-cum-bomber-jacket. Paired with chic wide-leg pants by emerging brand Tove, it makes for a contemporary take on traditional 9-to-5 dressing. However, style it with classic cigarette pants and Studio Amelia’s ‘barely there’ sandals and you’ve got a directional after-dark look that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Similarly, Petar Petrov’s handkerchief-hem midi dress, cast in a seasonless burnt-orange hue, is the kind of failsafe piece that is appropriate for all manner of occasions. Office? Off-duty? After-hours? Check, check and check. Simply mix up your accessories and it’ll work for all of the above – wear with Yuzefi’s two-tone bag for a fresh take on corporate style or Sophie Buhai’s drop earrings for dinner uptown.
Of course, it would be impossible to discuss investment pieces without mentioning fine jewelry. You’d be forgiven for thinking expensive stones should be reserved for special occasions, but we beg to differ. Everyday diamonds – as we’re calling them – are an effortless way to elevate any outfit. From Messika’s stunning rose-gold ring to Melissa Kaye’s minimalist bracelet, these dazzling diamond-studded pieces will add refinement to everything from androgynous suiting to off-duty denim.
What lies beneath What lies beneath Is it time to refresh your lingerie drawer? Here are the most covetable undergarment labels and looks to have on your lingerie love list Over the years, lingerie has evolved from being an occasional purchase to a vital closet foundation. Lingerie’s definitive attributes have also progressed and, nowadays, how we feel in our undergarments is as vital as how they look. Which is why wearing underwear as outerwear has become a key trend and aspiration for modern lingerie and loungewear labels.
