The Best New Season Fashion Brands And Buys Of 2023

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

It’s time to start looking ahead to autumn, which means packing away summer essentials like swimwear and sandals and digging out – or purchasing – pieces that’ll last throughout the new season. Nothing looks as polished as a well-tailored suit, and this chocolate brown style from Cos, comprised of wide-leg pleated trousers and a double-breasted blazer, is the perfect example. (Add Miu Miu’s patent penny loafers for peak smart appeal.) If you’re looking to invest in vintage, visit the pre-loved bag offering that has just dropped at Matches, launched in partnership with the resale specialist, Sellier, and features hero styles from Chanel and Hermès.

Speaking of autumn investments – The Row’s signature Margaux bag is back in stock (and flying out of the warehouse!) at Net-a-Porter. The brand’s minimalist tote is a bestseller, beloved for its timeless silhouette. Knitwear, too, is another important investment for autumn: we’ve got our eye on Vince’s cornflower-blue turtleneck, which pairs well with Acne Studios’s floor-sweeping denim maxi skirt and Gianvito Rossi’s eyelet-adorned ballet flats.

Gone are the previously cluttered details and hastily assembled outfits, replaced instead by a meticulously curated wardrobe.

Moreover, the audacious hue accentuated her radiant complexion.

The following month, Zara showcased her sartorial prowess at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
