Tory Burch Romy leather bucket bag
This new distressed leather spin on Tory Burch’s signature Romy bucket bag is exclusive to Selfridges and well worth making the trip to Oxford Street for – especially as the brand is hosting a joyful airstream pop-up cafe to mark the launch. Can’t make it down? It’s also available online in both large and medium sizes; I highly recommend the former if you’re looking for something perfectly sized for laptops, notebooks, make up bags and even gym kits.
Ami Paris wool kids cardigan
Ami Paris is on a mission to make sure the whole family looks sharp with its new kids range of gorgeous knits, loungewear, and accessories. Rendered in a wonderfully autumnal forest green, this wool cardigan is finished with the brand’s siganture Amie de Coeur logo and is the perfect partner to chinos, jeans, or the matching tracksuit bottoms. Adorable.
Mackage Emilio jacket
Already prepping for winter’s inevitable bitter climes? Call on ski and outerwear specialist Mackage. Its AW26 collection is brimming with cosy puffer jackets, raincoats and parkas but, for men about town, you can’t go far wrong with the minimalist Emilio bomber jacket. Woven from a pure double face wool, its lighter weight unlined construction means its ideal for wearing alone now and under a more substantial overcoat when the mercury really plummets.
Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra bracelet
The name here is something of a misnomer: this Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet is not, in fact, a pre-loved piece from its phenomenally popular Alhambra range. The ‘Vintage’ moniker, instead, refers, to pieces from the collection with motifs rendered in brightly coloured enamel (as opposed to precious metals or slithers of semi-precious stone). For the first time, the jewellery house is offering its signature collection in a deep pink which, apparently, took several years of experimentation to get right. Unlike traditional opaque enamel, this semi-translucent material is interspersed with fine bubbles that add depth and texture. Gorgeous.
Slow Love 90s Twisted jeans
Slow Love, purveyor of everyone’s favourite graphic knits, has recently expanded with its first line of denim pieces. Spanning jackets and jeans, it’s these ’90s-insired Carpenter styles that have really caught my eye. An oversized, wide-leg fit, that is both flattering and forgiving, they feature twisted side seams that cut down the front of the leg to both elevate and elongate.
Veronica Beard Miller Houndstooth dickey jacket
The arrival of autumn means it’s time to spruce up your office wardrobe and, when it comes to jackets, few do them better than Veronica Beard. Its signature dickey jacket is designed with a flattering double breasted silhouette that gently nips the waist and can be mixed and matched with the brand’s range of zip-on dickies for ultimate personalisation. This houndstooth design will look as good with flared jeans as it will sleek tailored trousers.
Gucci Jetset GG Marmont bag
A contemporary take on a Gucci classic, this new-season edition of the Marmont comes in quilted white leather with subtle suede trims and the classic GG hardware. A versatile options that makes a refreshing point of difference to your everyday black or brown bags.
Burberry tropical gabardine Foxfield trench coat
Burberry has delved into the archives for its new AW26 outerwear collection and the Foxfield trench is a particular highlight. Inspired by a piece from the 1970s, it’s cut shorter than the traditional trench coat and crafted in a shower-resistant tropical gabardine that offers a lighter, more fluid fit than its traditional counterpart. Rendered in an autumnal mulberry hue, this is an easy and practical way to stand out from the crowd.
John Smedley x Wales Bonner Beam polo shirt
Heritage British knitwear brand John Smedley and modern menswear darling Wales Bonner have once again teamed up on a capsule of highly covetable knits. Putting the classic polo front and centre, the collection offers both short- and long-sleeved iterations, with this striped rugby-inspired style a particular highlight.
JW Anderson asymmetric midi skirt
Denim skirts were big news for SS26 and handkerchief hems are set to make a huge return for AW26 – making this piece from JW Anderson’s new Twisted Denim collection a seriously savvy buy. Infused with the designer’s signature quirky approach to silhouette, it’s a guaranteed way to elevate anything from a basic tee to a tailored jacket.
Mother mid-rise Dazzler jeans
Lauded denim brand Mother is taking things back to the ’80s with its new Dazzler collection, featuring vintage-inspired denim fits, metallic mini skirts and, yes, legwarmers. If you’ve long passed the age where a ra-ra skirt seemed like a good idea, invest instead in these mid-rise ankle-length jeans. Cut to a flattering slim fit, this ‘mascara meltdown’ wash makes for a versatile change to traditional black or blue.
Maksu Tirso draped blouse
If you don’t consider yourself much of a stylist, a simple way to look effortlessly put together is to buy pieces that come pre-styled. Take, for example, this draped top from Maksu. Rendered in an elegantly draped fabric, its fluid neck detailing and floaty oversized fit means all you need do is pair it with jeans (or the matching wide-leg trousers) to look nonchalantly sophisticated.
Ralph Lauren slim fit polo shirt
If you have any sense, you probably already have a wardrobe full of Ralph Lauren polo shirts. They are, after all, the most versatile of men’s wardrobe staples – so what harm could one more do? This elegant green heather hue is cut to a slighter slimmer fit than the classic, making it perfect for tucking into chinos and jeans alike.
M&S x Aries sweatshirt
M&S is bringing back its nostalgic St. Michael sub-brand with a bang: by teaming up with cult streetwear label Aries. The limited edition capsule is aimed squarely at enticing a younger audience with a series of logo sweatshirts, joggers, cropped knits, relaxed fit tailoring and sheer camisoles. I highly recommend you get it before it’s gone.
Veronica Beard Prism bag
There’s nothing like a new bag to propel your wardrobe into the new season and, with this zebra-print calf hair edition of its Prism bag, Veronica Beard has just the thing. A softly structured design with an ingeniously designed strap, it can be easily adjusted for hand or shoulder carrying.
Seafolly batik swimsuit
Shoulder season holidays are great – less crowds, lower prices – but they also tend to come with temperatures that are less than balmy (especially if you’re hitting the sea). Invest, then, in a swimsuit that promises slightly more coverage (read: protection from the cold) like this sporty batik number by Seafolly. All the chic, none of the shivers.
Cath x Wyse Priestly leather shirt
Full-look leather is set to be one of AW26’s biggest trends but, if that feels like a little too much for your day-to-day, a leather shirt is an easy shortcut to elevating a classic everyday outfit formula. This oxblood version, from a new collaboration between Cath and Wyse, is butter soft and the perfect partner to fitted jeans or A-line skirts.
Eberjey Gisele pyjama set
Looking to refresh your summer sleepwear? With London’s never-ending heatwaves, so you should be. If you’re finding the nightwear market a nightmare, allow us to put Eberjey’s classic Gisele pyjamas on your radar. Crafted from a soft tencel modal material, the Gisele – available in short, long and strappy cami styles ideal for summer slumbers – was the style that put the brand on the map. This polka-dot design is supremely silky smooth and easy to wear – so much so, you’ll be counting down the hours until bedtime.
Chimi Sally sunglasses
Stockholm-based eyewear brand Chimi is loved by the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber – and if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us. The brand’s latest collection has reimagined familiar favourites through strong proportions, sculptural lines and refined materials, from oversized acetate frames to lightweight Japanese titanium styles. Take the Sally sunglasses, for example, which have put a contemporary spin on the aviator silhouette with an arched double bridge to create a striking look. Love, love, love.
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer
Omega’s big claim to fame, among other things, is that its watches have been worn on all six moon landings – which means they’re more than good enough for life down here on earth. Inspired by the fourth generation Speedmasters that headed into orbit, this Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is a highly technical timepiece with three chronograph subdials and a tachymetre scale on the bezel, all powered by a 3861 manual-wound movement.
Vince knitted jumper
An early arrival from the AW26 collections, this classic crew neck sweater by Vince is knitted in such a way as to make each one unique. Crafted in a soft cotton-blend, it may seem like months since the weather last demanded an extra layer but, trust me, come September you’re going to be glad you invested in it.
A Sinner in Pearls Forgive Me necklace
Taken from the brand’s new Blessed Madonna collection, which riffs and expands on its signature exploration of religious iconography, this Frogive Me necklace puts a thoroughly modern sin on the classic string of pearls. Contrasting smooth white freshwater pearls with irregular keshi pearls and onyx beads, it’s a surefire way to make a statement.
Serena Bute barrel leg jeans
The barrel leg silhouette looks set to maintain its denim dominance into the new season and, with their deep indigo wash, these from Serena Bute are at the top of my shopping list. Making a design detail of their contrast stitching, the wide tapered leg and flattering high-rise waist give them an almost tailored feel I’d wager you could get away with in most offices.
Missoma x Lucy Williams Knot hoop earrings
Demi-fine jewellery brand Missoma has teamed up with stylist and content creator Luxy Williams to create a new capsule collection centred around a dual-metal knot motif. These brilliantly affordable gold and silver vermeil earrings feature a removable T-bar charm perfect for adding to your favourite ear stack.
Lulu Guinness x Emma J Shipley weekend bag
Combining Lulu Guinness’ signature bag silhouettes with the rich, whimsical illustrations of Emma J Shipley, this new collaboration is a maximalist’s dream. Also spanning backpacks, totes, and crossbody bags, my pick is this practically proportioned weeekender – guaranteed to turn heads in the hotel lobby.
Alemais Banderra silk scarf dress
Scarves take centre stage in Alemais’ newly unveiled autumn 2026 collection – and this innovative dress is a case in point. Taking its cues from classic bandana styles, its layered silhouette and flattering asymmetric knotted neckline guarantee to make you stand out in the crowd.
Engelbert Legacy Knot 18ct gold necklace
Handmade in India but embued with Engelbert’s Scandi design sensibility, this elegant longline necklace is an effortlessly understated way to elevate even the simplest of outfits. Featuring three 18ct gold chains brought together with the brand’s signature Legacy Knot motif, it proves diamonds aren’t the only way to dazzle.
Pane Light Training Nogi shoes
Pane takes a modern approach to sneaker design and nowhere is that better seen than in these Light Training Nogi trainers. A genderless design offered in sizes for both men and women, the classic low-top silhouette has been reworked in woven leather and suede for a finish that silmultaneously has a vintage appeal and contemporary aesthetic.
Mother boxy cardigan
Taken from Mother’s new Wild Track capsule collection, inspired by all things motocross, this seemingly saccharine sweet cotton cardigan hides a secret: a back emblazoned with a cheetah illustration and the legend ‘Speed Queen’. Mother at its signature playful best.
Eberjey x The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Inez pyjamas
Admit it, we’ve all been tempted to ‘accidentally’ pop that fluffy hotel bathrobe in our suitcase on the way out the door. Don’t risk the fine and, instead, invest in a pair of pyjamas from a new collaboration between Eberjey and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Available in styles for both men and women, each is crafted in washable silk featuring a soft wave print inspired the Ritz-Carlton’s elegant life on the seas.
French Connection Arezzo shirt
Nothing elevates a classic piece more quickly than an unexpected design detail and, as this elegant shirt shows, it doesn’t have to be over the top. This simple puff sleeve silhouette is taken to the next level care of a pearl trim at the neckline; as they say, the devil is in the details.
Veronica Beard Kieran slip dress
Been invited to an event with a vague dress code or, worse, no dress code at all? Then you’ll be grateful to have a dress like Veronica Beard’s Kieran slip in your back pocket. Pretty without being overly feminine, and with an easy-to-wear silhouette that looks great on its own but can also be styled with a jacket should the weather require, it strikes the perfect balance between formal and effortless. Pair with summer’s must-have heeled leather flip-flops for an air of nonchalance.
Completedworks agate and onyx earrings
The official name of these earrings is Time Will Say Nothing But “I Told You So” – so you can see why I didn’t put the full title in the heading above. Like all Completedworks pieces, they come from a high-concept collection exploring the aesthetics, social history, and myths of the suburbs, examining them as places of both regeneration and decay. Which, with their contrasting black cherry blossom agate and deep onyx, makes a kind of reflective sense in these earrings. If you don’t need such a backstory for your jewellery, however, they’re also just a great statement piece.
Burberry polo shirt
Burberry has been offering up its refined take on the classic polo shirt since 1903 and, this summer, it’s celebrating that heritage with an expanded range of shades across its plain and contrast-collar styles. Whether you’re more primary colours or neutral hues, there are options for every taste and outfit; my pick is this vintage-inflected dusky peach.
L'Atelier Nawbar Boa necklace
Fourth-generation family run jewellery house L’Atelier Nawbar still takes inspiration from the vibrant spirit and commitment to craftsmanship of Beirut, where it was founded in 1891. This Boa necklace, featuring deep green malachite carved so as to resemble a slithering snake with a pear-cut diamond for a head, is exemplary of its playful, conversation-starting spirit.
Wings of Wisdom Pinky Promise ring
This cheeky play on the idea of a ‘pinky promise’ sees a pinky ring adorned with a miniature hand which is, itself, wearing a pinky ring. Made-to-order from 18ct yellow gold, with your choice of citrine, diamond, ruby, or pink or green sapphire, like everything from British brand Wings of Wisdom, it will be a truly joyful addition to your jewellery box.
Goldsmiths 9ct yellow gold figaro chain
Every good jewellery collection needs a trusty, goes-with-everything gold chain, and if you can combine it with one of this season’s biggest jewellery trends – the T-bar necklace – then so much the better. This understated piece from Goldsmiths blends two link designs with a classic T-bar that sits elegantly just below the clavicle. Great on its own but even better stacked with diamonds and coloured stone pieces.
Anjna Sana bangle
Founded on the principle that every piece of jewellery should be embued with meaning beyond its aesthetic appeal, Anjna creates accessibly-priced designs that hold deep symbolism and heritage. Inspired by the Sanskrit word ‘sana‘, meaning ‘radiance, brilliance, luminous energy’, this gorgeously minimal rose gold vermeil and topaz bangle promises to bring clarity and self-alignment to your everyday.
Tissa Fontaneda Mogwai bag
If you’ve yet to discover Tissa Fotnaneda’s unique ‘Nappa Bubble’ leather technique, I highly recommend you hot foot it over to the brand’s Belgravia boutique to get a first-hand look at this playful (and highly skilled) finish. If you’re willing to take my word for its beauty, however, invest in the new Mogwai silhouette: an elongated shoulder bag with tassle closures perfectly sized for whatever your day has in store.
David Morris Triolette 18ct white gold and diamond earrings
Exclusive to Net-A-Porter, British fine jeweller David Morris has unveiled new additions to its Triolette collection, this time extending beyond the original yellow gold designs. Taking its name from the oval, square, and hexagon-cut diamonds that anchor each piece, the collection of dainty designs is the ideal way to add some extra special sparkle to any and every outfit.
Emello pointelle knit vest
Summer knitwear doeesn’t get much better than this. Knit from a lightweight cotton using an airy pointelle technique, its navy and white colourway offers a nod to nautical summer styling and will pair excellently with white denim and floaty skirts alike. Plus, come winter you can layer it over a pussy bow blouse for a striking preppy look.
Mulberry Darley camera bag
Beloved British bag brand Mulberry has just added a new soon-to-be-classic to its collection: the Darley camera bag. Based on the Mulberry evening bag of the same name, this more casual iteration is made from grain leather and can be worn over-the-shoulder or crossbody. Currently available in black, brown, butter yellow, and taupe, this burgundy croc is coming soon (and I highly recommend waiting).
Veronica Beard whipstitch loop bag
The epitome of summer’s boho resurgence – but also a design you’ll be wearing for many seasons to come – Veronica Beard’s Loop bag is the versatile multi-tasker your accessories wardrobe needs. Sitting snugly on the hip, while being capacious enough to satisfy even the most hardened over-packer, its Italian suede construction and whipstitch detailing are simply the icing on top of a very chic cake.
Nadine Merabi Nicole denim waistcoat
Nadine Merabi, the fashion brand best known for all things sparkly and glamorous, has made its first foray into denim – putting its signature structured, form-fitting spin on the world’s favourite casual fabric. Promising a sculpted hourglass silhouette, and finished with the brand’s statement gold buttons, this waistcoat is best worn with the matching flared jeans.
Pandora Wonders pearl Mushroom charm
Pandora has teamed up with celebrity super-stylist Harry Lambert to create a collection of playful pearl charms and pendants for the brand’s signature bracelets and necklaces. Each features freshwater cultured baroque pearls decorated with 14ct yellow gold vermeil and lab-grown crystal to turn their naturally irregular shape into the charming form of mushrooms, fish, frogs and submarines.
La DoubleJ silk kaftan
Inspired by traditional silk scarves, this vibrant cover-up from La DoubleJ is almost too good to save for the beach. Made from pure silk and printed with the brand’s Oceania Placée motif, its elegantly draped silhouette is hugely flattering and looks great with sandals and heels alike.
Smythson travel bag
Summer of weddings on the horizon? Then you’re going to need a good weekend bag – and Smythson has just the thing. Crafted in its new dark moss Norton canvas, this hard-wearing classic is perfectly sized for your suit, shoes and overnight essentials. Plus, it can be personalised for a chic finishing touch.
Foundrae mini pendant
Foundrae, the fine jewellery brand best known for its bold, symbolic pendants, has unveiled a new range for those of us who prefer our jewellery on the dainty side. Taking the same sentimental approach as its main line, this collection features the brand’s Encrusted Heart, Infinite Gratitude and Bunny medallions, along with two Heart Beat clips which allow you to unclip and mix and match the pendants for a customisable piece.
Panerai Radiomir Quaranta Goldtec 40mm Watch
Every man needs a great dress watch – and the Panerai Radiomir is as classic as they come. Featuring the brand’s siganture rounded square case, here rendered in a unique Goldtech metal, and powered by an automatic P.9000 calibre movement, its espresso alligator strap and clean dial design are endlessly elegant. Oh, and did I mention it’s currently 25 per cent off at Goldsmiths?
Holland Cooper 360 maxi circle skirt
Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn with this quintessentially mid-century silhouette from Holland Cooper. Perfect for pairing with a rolled-up white shirt and sandals for adventures in quaint European towns (or with blouses and pumps for less adventurous days in the office), it’s imbued with a sense of feminine formality that really means business.
Crockett & Jones Jersey suede loafers
Have you ever seen a shoe that just begs to be taken to Cannes or the Italian Riviera like the Crockett & Jones Jersey? Designed with summer in mind, this unlined version of the brand’s beloved Cavendish loafer is rendered in a rakish mid-blue suede and mounted on Crockett & Jones’ flexible City sole for instant comfort. All gain, no pain.

Summer uniform of shorts and T-shirt beginning to feel a bit stale? Put some life back into your look with Noon by Noor’s Annalee top. The perfect partner to white denim or tailored shorts, the flowy silk style features flattering ruching at the waist, oversized sleeves and a vibrant cherry blossom print that requires no more effortful styling than a fabulous pair of earrings.
Reformation x Umbro Aitana trousers
The comfort of jogging bottoms with the glamour of a going-out look? Consider me sold. Part of Reformation’s new collaboration with Umbro, these trousers take their inspiration from the stripes and sheen of vintage football jerseys, and are even made from deadstock fabric used for Umbro’s technical sports kits. Perfect for tearing it up on the dancefloor then.
Kiki McDonough detachable drop earrings
Ever the innovator, London-based fine jeweller Kiki McDonough has unveiled a new collection of drops designed to be mixed and matched with the brand’s diamond huggie hoops. Available in an array of stones, including pear, oval, cushion, and octagonal cut tanzanite, tourmaline, aquamarine, beryl, and garnet, each is set in 18ct yellow gold and framed by a halo of diamonds.
Byan Camelia dress
Spanish-born occasionwear brand Byan will be setting up a permanent home in Chelsea later this year – but if you can’t wait until then, you can snap up all its beautiful printed pieces online now. Handmade and produced in limited quantities, this Camelia dress features a delicate floral pink perfect for long balmy evenings and upscale weekend brunches.
Slow Love SL Studio T-shirt
British brand Slow Love may be best known for its hand-knitted jumpers and vibrant patterns but, just in time for summer, it’s unveiled a new collection of boxy T-shirts perfect for tackling the heatwave. Made from a luxe 250gsm organic cotton and finished with bold slogans, there’s little they won’t go with.
Veronica Beard Carter shorts
If you’ve long outgrown denim cut-offs but aren’t willing to give up shorts all together, allow me to steer you in the direction of Veronica Beard. This sophisticated, contemporary brand offers silhouettes guaranteed to flatter – and these Carter shorts are a case in point. Cut from a non-stretch cotton canvas that is both lightweight and structured, their tailored fit nails smart-casual dress codes and will look great with both everyday T-shirts and the matching blazer. Trust me, you won’t regret the investment.
Roger Vivier Belle Vivier slingback pumps
Could this be the ultimate summer wedding shoe? Wonderfully colourful yet somehow still versatile enough to go with pretty much anything, undeniably formal but with a heel low enough to keep you dancing ’til dawn, and just statement enough to draw endless compliments. Well played Roger Vivier.
Maksu Popea gingham top
The easiest way to effortless summer style? Opt for statement silhouettes and patterns that do all the hard work for you. This gingham top from Maksu is cut in an unsuual wrapover design that is guaranteed to make you look put together – even if you just throw it on over your favourite jeans.

Many of the pieces, including this girls’ dress, feature a feather print inspired by a 1971 illustration by Blake for an English-language version of The Birds by Aristophanes. Stylish and sophisticated.
Staud + Da Adolfo paddle silk shorts
Lace-trimmed shorts are one fo this summer’s biggest trends. As is tomato red. Combine the two, with a dash of Italian Riviera charm, with Staud’s silk shorts. Created in collaboration with famed family-run Positano restaurant Da Adolfo, the eatery’s fish motif is woven discreetly into the lace – wear with a bikini for the beach and a crochet top for dancing ’til dawn.
Cult Gaia Althea clutch
A handbag with the timeless looks of a piece of mid-century modern furniture? Consider me sold. Part of Cult Gaia’s Summer 2026 Roman Holiday collection, the sculptural wooden body makes for a talking point piece for any evening ensemble. (And, yes, it’s big enough to fit an iPhone.)
Casablanca x Laduree jumper
The fashion world has truly fallen for all things gourmet — as seen in this new collaboration between Casablanca and purveyor of fine macarons, Ladurée. Rendered in the latter’s sugary-sweet rainbow of pastel hues, the unisex collection of knitwear and accessories features the signature laurel motif, alongside fruit embroidery and a special typeface created specially fort he collaboration.
Blackacre 3ct tennis bracelet
There is truly on chicer (or long lasting) way to get in the Wimbledon spirit than with a tennis braclet — and this one by London-based jeweller Blackacre is a true classic. Set with 3cts of brilliant cut diamonds in 18ct white gold, if that isn’t quite enough sparkle for your tastes, Blackacre also specialises in bespoke pieces and is ready and waiting to make the design of your dreams.

kRiffing on the house’s signature Caviar motif, the new Muse collection from Buccellati is a true celebration of fine stones, expert craftsmanship and artisanal goldsmithing. Inspired in particular by Gianmaria Buccellati’s 1981 Cratere delle Muse – a stunning jade cup edged in silver, gold and fine caviar-like sapphires – the new collection reworks the motif in rubies, sapphires and tsavorites across an array of yellow and white gold bracelets, pendants, cufflinks, and diamond-fringed earrings.

Some jewellery is worth saving for special occasions – and this choker from Cece Jewellery’s new Once Upon A Time collection is absolutely one of them. Inspired, as the name suggest, by fairytales, love stories and the iconography associated with them, it takes its cues from traditional Victorian pearl necklaces, and features an 18ct gold medallion with a champlevé enamel sun encircled by a diamond crescent moon. A design that truly makes the sweetest of statements.

Fully sold on this summer’s preppy country club aesthetic? I have good news.

Plus, pair with the matching top and you’ll be primed for summer weddings as well.

Lightweight, understated and with a comfortable streamlined fit, they’re your perfect partner for hitting that backsquat PB.
Burberry x Hunza G Domino swimsuit
