Trending Now: The Must-Have Fashion, Home And Beauty Heroes

Retro argyle patterns have timeless appeal, so consider these styles by Khaite and Purdey to be the ultimate forever pieces. Khaite’s cashmere version comes in a preppy polo silhouette – pair it with leather pants to offset its ‘dad knit’ undertones. Purdey’s vest, meanwhile, is a versatile piece for the office – wear it with bare arms, a midi skirt and a chunky gold chain in the warmer months, then layer it over shirts or fine knits with tailored pants and loafers in cooler climates.

Counting down to the holidays with chocolate is all well and good, but imagine discovering new and iconic beauty favorites every morning. Enter NET-A-PORTER’s now-legendary Advent calendar, which comes heaving with skincare heroes, including Sarah Chapman's Skinesis Intense Hydrating Booster (full size, may we add), as well as luscious body oils, relaxing candles, and makeup treats. Of course, the festive period can really take its toll on skin (hello, changing weather conditions and multiple late nights), so Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Advent calendar, which features the brand’s most iconic skin saviors as well as a hair mask and hand cream, will ensure a healthy glow as you ring in the new year.

A pair of party pants are as key to one’s festive closet as a novelty knit. In fact, the two go very well together. This season, wear high-shine metallic fabrics with laid-back cardigans and luxe T-shirts by day, then swap in a sleek bodysuit and stilettos after hours. Whatever the occasion, the key is to let your pants do the talking, so style them with muted colors and keep accessories pared-back, too.

You know the fall/winter season has well and truly arrived when even our handbags are getting hygge. Plush finishes lend a cozy feel to any look, so consider investing in iconic silhouettes, such as Jacquemus’ ‘Le Bambidou’ or Bottega Veneta’s ‘Jodie’, finished in tactile shearling. Style with smooth fabrics like leather and silk to create a distinctive contrast.

Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka seduced the fashion world with her romantic, lingerie-inspired aesthetic when she made her fashion week debut as part of the Fashion East FW21 collective last February. Since then, she’s amassed A-list fans too, including Bella Hadid and Zendaya. If you’ve been searching for a party look with bold yet timeless appeal, consider joining Dojaka’s admirers with one of her sultry evening dresses. From micro minis to floor-sweeping gowns with thigh-high splits, they’re guaranteed to turn heads.

If your look needs an instantly festive feel, consider adding one or two dazzling accessories. Valentino Garavani’s gilded ‘One Stud’ shoulder bag is a chic choice for taking office tailoring out on the town, while Benedetta Bruzziches’ lavender, crystal-embellished ‘Elena’ pumps are ideal for giving off-duty outfits an evening glow.

A statement vase is the perfect present for those tricky-to-buy-for people in your life. Even when not filled with their favorite blooms, these decorative styles from Laetitia Rouget and Tom Dixon will fill any space with joyful color. Those with whimsical tastebuds will love the former’s swirling tulip design, while the latter’s mesmerizing resin and marble finish will appeal to anyone with an artistic eye.

Yellow gold has dominated fine-jewelry trends for several seasons, but mixed metals are now coming to the fore again. Leading the charge? White gold. Giving a cool and inherently contemporary feel, white gold enhances the brilliance of white diamonds and is the perfect companion for after-dark dressing. Choose sleek, metal-heavy designs with subtle diamond accents for everyday wear, or stack up fingers, ears and wrists with all-white jewels for maximum gleam factor at evening events.

If you’re lucky enough to be soaking up some winter sun, do it in style with fashion-editor favorite Hunza G. This red, ribbed one-piece, which is exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, has an elegant retro shape, with high-cut legs and a clean-lined, square neckline. Pair it with denim cut-offs for beachside brunches and oversized sunglasses for poolside posing. When it comes to sunset dinners, the Johanna Ortiz palm-tree-print mini dress will look fabulous with gladiator sandals and a basket bag.

Knee-high and over-the-knee boots are inherently seductive, and in glossy patent-leather finishes, they really vamp things up. Khaite’s have cool-girl appeal with their chunky, sculptural heel, while Paris Texas’s pin-heeled style are suitably sensual. Style them with shorter hemlines to show them off, then add an oversized wool coat to balance the proportions.
