Great style investments are those that work with your existing wardrobe. Seriously great style investments, however, don’t simply fill a necessary gap; they elevate your beautifully curated forever capsule with ease. That’s why every pick in this week’s Most Wanted roundup promises to do just that, from simple jewelry that effortlessly complements a daily uniform to zebra-print slingbacks – because statement pieces have staying power, too.

When putting together a must-try outfit formula, NET-A-PORTER fashion editor Charlotte Blazeby starts with a neutral hero knit from Toteme. The Stockholm-based brand designs with purpose by looking at what women really want and need in their wardrobes, before making clothes that transcend trends in considered cuts and elegant fabrics. “I love Toteme’s merino-wool polo sweater. It’s a great base for practically any outfit and will act as the perfect counterpoint for the bolder items in your closet,” she says. “For FW23, you could team it with everything from wide-leg denim to chic silhouettes such as straight-leg pants or wool maxi skirts.”

So, what about accessories? The plus-ones (or twos) that can make or break a look. “When a piece is this versatile, you can really get creative with modern accessories. An effortlessly cool pair of Mary Jane flats is your go-to option for daytime dressing, such as the soft leather, suede and mesh styles from just-dropped brand Le Monde Beryl, while a crystal-encrusted shoe for the evening will take things up a notch,” says Blazeby. “Worn together, the matching silver accents of Valentino Garavani’s mirrored ‘VLOGO’ shoulder bag and Lié Studio’s ‘The Elly’ necklace will make for a finger-on-the-pulse fashion look.” Founded by sisters and former models Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard, Lié Studio’s covetable pieces are designed in Copenhagen and crafted by hand with the aim of being worn day in, day out – minimal, timeless jewels to elevate your everyday wardrobe.

When it comes to layering your look, transitioning into the cooler months has never looked better thanks to our coats edit, which has something for everyone – from snuggly shearling to sleek leather. Sending a series of muted yet fresh hues down the FW23 runway at the Opéra Bastille, Ami Paris founder Alexandre Mattiussi delivered the perfect options for those looking for designs that pop. “The clean-lined tailoring and minty-blue color of Ami Paris’s maxi coat makes for a winning combination,” adds Blazeby. It can be slipped on over a tonal knitted dress, as seen on the runway, or worn with separates, such as a creamy top and Nili Lotan’s dark-gray ‘Anatole’ pants.
