Mithridate team dress
The first drop from Daniel Fletcher’s debut collection for Mithridate has just gone live — unveiling Alexa Chung as the brand’s new muse. A fitting choice for a collection brimming with upscale takes on classic British preppy style – think boxy jackets, rugby shirts, embroidered knits and pleated trousers – this ankle-grazing dress is primed for spring layering.
CDLP swimsuit
CDLP made its name on minimal, reliable, brilliantly constructed basics – and its swimwear is no different. For 2025, expect any colour you like (as long as it black or grey) in a range of flattering fits catering for all levels of sunbathing bravery, from thong bikinis to innovative swim cycling shorts. I’ve got my eye on this slate swimsuit for maximum tan appeal.
Lucy Delius The Lucky One necklace
London-based jeweller Lucy Delius has built a loyal fanbase with her contemporary approach to timeless diamond designs. Each piece is crafted in 14k gold and inspired by Delius’ ecelctic range of interests, from lucky charms and talismans to Victorian dandies. This flexible lariat crossover necklace it set with subtle sparkle and made using a unique rectangular chain that instantly lifts even the most basic outfit.
Loewe + Paula's Ibiza men's shorts
Part of a new capsule collection for men and women available at Mr Porter and Net-A-Porter, the latest collaboration between Loewe and Paula’s Ibiza urges you to unleash your most laidback holiday self. Brimming with raffia beach bags, lightweight layers and boho prints, these men’s shorts are the perect partner to your most relaxed linen shirt and Birkenstocks.
Loeffler Randall Liza raffia platforms
The perfect blend of disco diva and beach goddess, Loeffler Randall’s Liza platforms are the only sandal you need for glamorous dinners on the French Riviera. Or sundowners in the Caribbean. Or dancing ’til dawn at a Mykonos beach club. You get the gist.
Yves Salomon suede fringed cape
Looking to inject a bit of festival style into your wardrobe but left denim hotpants and crop tops firmly in your teenage years? Yves Salomon’s suede fringed cape is a far more sophisticated option – and will look great long after the last headliner has finished.
Otiumberg Smokey Quartz Domino ring
Fresh from enlisting British style maven Laura Bailey as the face of its SS25 campaign, Otiumberg has released a slew of gorgeous new jewels destined to upgrade your spring season stack. This smokey quartz Domino ring is the perfect way to introduce a bit of 2025’s dominant mocha mousse hue into your wardrobe.
The Fold Knighton silk jacket
Throwing a blazer on over your occasionwear is a classic spring event combo – but why settle for black or navy when you can have The Fold’s bold floral print jacket? Perfect for adding a statement to block coloured summer dresses (or pairing with navy trousers to up the ante in the office), its gorgeous peony print comes courtesy of British artist Rosie Sanders.
Bea Bongiasca Tarallo Sri Lankan Elephant ring
Bea Bongiasca – the queen of playful enamel jewellery – is back with another irreverant, vibrant collection: Tarallo. The swirled design is offered in a series of block colours, as well as hand-painted with a series of the designer’s favourite animals. Choose from clown fish, snakes, horses, frogs and, my personal favourite, a Sri Lankan elephant.
Victoria Beckham midi dress
Exclusive to Selfridges, this sophisticated dress from Victoria Beckham is the answer to all your spring and summer social occasion wardrobe quandries. Rendered in a lightweight fabric that is *technically* a pear green hue — but I reckon is close enough to butter yellow to tap into the trend — its draped neckline, asymmetric hemline and elegant pleats promise a flattering, figure-skimming fit while adding enough design detail to have everyone asking where you got it.
Brunello Cucinelli espadrilles
Not quite ready to embrace sandal season, gents? Part of a new monochrome capsule collection for Mr Porter, these Brunello Cucinelli espadrilles offer the perfect way to bring spring into your wadrobe — without having to reveal winter-ravaged feet. Crafted in supple suede and leather — and also available in blue and brown colourways — swap for your regular trainers or loafers for a breezy spring ‘fit perfect for pub gardens and rooftop bars.
Saint + Sofia Eliza pleated skirt
Every wardrobe should be brimming with everyday staples you can throw on and dress up or down with minimal effort — and this skirt from Saint + Sofia is the ultimate wear-anywhere piece. Cut in a midi length that won’t look out of place in the office or on holiday, pair with your Birkenstocks, heels or trainers as the occasion demands. Trust me, the cost-per-wear will make this a bargain.
Rails Lido denim jacket
A good denim jacket is a perennial wardrobe favourite and, for SS25, Rails has given the style a feminine update in this collarless floral-embroidered design. Ideal for pairing with floaty summer dresses or trying your hand at the double dneim trend, this is the definition of an elevated essential.
Burberry Childrenswear trench
It’s never too early to teach them about fashion classics – and few designs are more timeless than the Burberry trench. A mini-me version of the brand’s most iconic iterations of the design, this check-lined gabardine coat comes sized for ages 3-14 – so why not buy one for the whole family?
Rixo Aero dress
Summer wedding season will be upon us before we know it but, luckily for you, I’ve found a dress you can turn to for anything from a grand cathedral ceremony to an al fresco event. Fresh from Rixo’s SS25 collection, the Aero dress is modest enough for even the most traditional of nuptials – but bold and vibrant enough to bring the party.
Brioni cashmere-blend polo shirt
Part of an exclusive capsule collection for Mr Porter celebrating the Italian brand’s 80th anniversary, this cashmere-blend polo shirt is the perfect example of Brioni’s understated approach to style. The definition of ‘quiet luxury’, it’s crafted for a sumptuous cashmere, silk and cotton blend, with a woven texture destined for long balmy days on the rivera.
Fairfax & Favor Blenheim saddle bag
Every woman needs a goes-with-everything, wear-anywhere shoulder bag and, in its new Blenheim collection, Fairfax & Favor has hit the nail on the head. Offered in a rich tan leather in saddle, mini and crossbody silhouettes, it eschews overwrought detailing and OTT logos in favour of a chic, elegant minimalism. The quintessential ‘old momey’ accessory.
Mr P. suede jacket
Is there any shade that brings to mind the joys of spring — cherry blossom, pastel-hued sun umbrellas, Aperol Spritzs sipped overlooking the Med — quite like salmon pink? If the weather doesn’t happen to be playing ball, Mr P.’s buttery soft suede jacket promises all the fun with none of the chill.
Crockett & Jones Salcombe 2 loafers
If you’ve unearthed your loafers from their winter slumber only to find you may havea had a little too much fun in them last summer, I have good news. Heritage British shoemaker Crockett & Jones has just unveiled its new SS25 collection — and it includes a contemporary update on its beloved Salcombe loafer. Cut in fine suede with leather lining and a new rubber wedge sole, it’s the ultimate wear-anywhere show. This snuff hue will look as good with a linen suit at a wedding as it will with tailored shorts at a beach bar.
Loveness Lee Mini Tota white sapphire earrings
Jewellery brands love to talk about ‘everyday diamonds’ but, let’s face it, for most people that’s a bit of an oxymoron. White sapphires, on the other hand? Well that’s an entirely diferent ball game. A semi-precious counterpart to their more famous (and far more expensive) gemstone cousins, they take centre stage in a new limited edition collection by London-based jeweller Loveness Lee. A shrunken version of the brand’s signature organically shaped gold-vermeil designs, these truly are the perfect everyday piece.
Ferragamo Soft-bag
A reinvention of a design pulled from the Ferragamo archives, the brand’s new Soft-bag is an elegant, sculptural design that demonstrates the Italian house’s mastery of leatherwork. An extension of creative director Maximilian Davis’ fascination with fluidity and movement, the cinched effect is achieved by piercing the leather with a metal hook, resulting in a design guaranteed to inspire envy.
Lalique Terramineral bracelet
Part of an expansive new collection of jewellery and objet d’art by French crystal specialist Lalique, this Terramineral bracelet takes it cues from the natural formations of minerals found beneath the earth — and specifially the way they interact with light and reflections. Offered in gold vermeil and white crystal or silver and blue crystal, present to the woman in your life who can’t resist an arm stack for an unusual and memorable gift.
La DoubleJ x Mother Lela dress
What do you get when you marry the laidback vibrancy of California’s Mother with the exubrant maximalism of Italy’s La DoubleJ? A capsule collection of joyfully printed pieces with ‘summer’ written all over them. From embroidered denim and graphic tees to boho skirts and retro kaftans, stock up now and wear on every holiday for years to come. I’ll be wearing this bold floral print dress to weddings, summer parties and upscale coocktail hours all season long.
Ami Carrousel bag
Introduced on the runway at Ami’s SS25 show, the Carrousel is the Parisian brand’s freshest new bag shape. A boxy, minimalist design offered in luxe hues of caramel, olive and black leather, this is the epitome of effortless, nonchalant cool. Tres chic.
Reiss Atelier Elizabeth dress
Atelier, the upscale offering to Reiss’ main collection, has just revealed its fourth drop – and it’s brimming with gorgeous eventwear that will have you covered for every wedding, garden party, day at the races or cocktail event of the season. Rendered in SS25’s trending butter yellow hue, the Elizabeth dress, with its ruched detailing and party-ready shoulder embellishment, is pure spring sunshine.
Garrard Lotus tzavorite and diamond earrings
Insired by the Lotus tiara it created for the British royal family, and which is still regularly worn by the Princess of Wales, Garrard has unveiled a new fine jewellery collection centred around the floral motif. Crafted in 18k gold and diamonds, and sprinkled with ombré coloured stones, including green tzavorite, and purple and yellow sapphires, to mimic the natural hues of the Lotus, I’m particularly fond of this contemporary take on the classic hoop.
Leica ZM12 watch
Leica may be best known for its high-spec cameras but, in the ZM range, it’s slowly been building up its kudos in the watch world. Backed by mechanical movements made by Swiss specialist Chronode, and featuring the same sophisticated design credentials it brings to its cameras, the latest addition to the collection, the ZM12, is well worth the consideration of any horology fan. Powered by a calibre LA-3002 automatic movement promising a remarkable 60 hour power reserve, this titanium and wood-effect chocolate dial combination is my pick of the bunch.
Barrie Oxford shirt
Every wardrobe needs a good Oxford shirt — but not all are created equal. In its new capsule collection, fine Scottish cashmere specialist Barrie has taken the Oxford to its most elegant conclusion in this cashmere and cotton striped design. Offered in five colourways (my favourite is this sweet baby pink version), buy oversized for an effortless yet deeply chic smart-casual look.
Leem kaftan
The early spring sunshine have you hankering after a suitably summery wardrobe? The new SS25 collection from Leem is brimming with desert-inspired shades and long loose layers destined for days on the beach. I’m particularly loving this sunset-hued kaftan which I’ll be wearing over a bikini by the pool and with heels to the beach club. Now, where’s the rosé?
Louis Vuitton Biker Bag
Having debuted at Louis Vuitton’s SS25 Paris Fashion Week show, the house’s latest bag shape comes in the form of the Biker: a tribute to the classic biker jacket. Designed to be held as a top hand or crossbody, with clever expandable side straps, it’s offered in all black or this contemporary two-tone design, both crafted in Vuitton’s pixel lambskin. Finished with the famed LV monogram on the interior, make this your new everyday go-to.
Barbour x Alexa Harley jacket
Paying homage to her long-standing relationship with Barbour and her famed festival style, the second edition of The Edit by Alexa Chung sees the British fashion maven put her signature twist on a range of classic Barbour silhouettes. Spanning knitwear, shoes and, of course, jackets, my pick of the bunch is this longline showerproof trench, ideal for slinging on over wellies and jeans or a sharp suit.
Peregrine Felix jumper
British heritage brand Peregrine has been turning out timeless menswear since 1796 and, eight generations later, it remains a family-run business proudly offering quality knitwear that makes the most of the craftsmanship at its bases in Bristol and Manchester. But don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself with this sky blue quarter-zip: your new go-to for dress down Fridays, Sunday roasts and every smart-casual occasion in between.
Jennifer Chamandi Lorenzo mesh flats
London-based shoe designer Jennifer Chamandi has grown a cult following with her sophisticated ‘eye of a needle’ heels and now, thankfully for those of us whose days involve a lot of running around, she’s turned her attention to flats. Incorporating Chamandi’s signature heel design in an elegant ballet flat, these Lorenzo mesh and suede pumps are the ultimate in leg-lengthening everyday style.ee
Ganni XXL Hobo bag
Debuted at Paris Fashion Week in September 2024, Ganni’s new XXL take on its signature Hobo bag is now available to buy — offering the perfect design for when you know your day is going to require carrying everything plus the kitchen sink. Slouchy, oversized and with handle options allowing for over-the-shoulder or crossbody wear, it’s the ultimate in utilitarian style.
Etro x Castaner paisley loafer espadrilles
If you’re ready to start channelling summer vibes but the weather hasn’t quite caught up yet, a new collaboration between Italian fashion house Etro and Spanish espadrille specialist Castaner is just the thing. These paisley leather loafer-espadrille hybrids may take their cues from the Amalfi Coast — but will look just as good with jeans and a jumper.
Tala AirForm flared leggings
If you’ve hit the gym or been to a yoga class in recent weeks, you’ll know that all the on-trend gym bunnies have swapped their form-fitting leggings for flares. But dispel all Bee Gees notions from your mind, the new generation of exercise gear features snatching compressive waistbands, second-skin fabrics and sculpting seams for seriously flattering ‘fits. Tala’s new AirForm design is a case in point.
Paul Smith Bridget bag
The latest from beloved British brand Paul Smith sees the house reinterpret its archival Swirl print, combining it with deep plum leather in an elegant boxy silhouette to create the quintessential ready-for-spring bag. Pair with jeans and a navy blazer and let it do the talking.
Ariana Grande x Swarovski drop earrings
Run, don’t walk — Ariana Grande’s debut jewellery collection for Swarovski is selling like hot cakes. Brimming with statement pieces worthy of the red carpet, all made by Swarovski’s expert in-house jewellers, these swirling drop earrings are a black-tie moment waiting to happen. Set with a triple row of crystal pearls and Swarovski zirconia, wear with a ponytail a la Grande for the full effect.
Barbour x Erdem Dhalia jacket
British brands Barbour and Erdem have come together to infuse the former’s heritage outerwear with the latter’s signature femininity. Created as a five-piece capsule collection, Erdem Moralioglu has reimagined classic Barbour designs with ruffle hems, peplum waists, and cropped silhouettes to put a contemporary spin on traditional country dressing.
Jimmy Choo Solar 70 mules
Part of a new capsule collection dedicated to showcasing Jimmy Choo’s fine craftsmanship and glamorous design signatures, these Solar mules are the ultimate in versatile trans-seasonal dressing. As at home at spring christenings and summer weddings as they will be on autumnal date nights and festive parties, wear with everything from LBDs and tailoring to jeans and T-shirts.
Orlebar Brown Bulldog Piscina swim shorts
Planning to see out the rest of winter somewhere balmy and beachy? Lucky you. Luckier still, British men’s swim brand Orlebar Brown has just unveiled its SS25 collection, featuring these rather snazzy new additions to its signature Bulldog swim short range. Also available in a blue colourway, buy both and mix and match with the brand’s lightweight linen shirts for cool, Caribbean comfort.
Matilde Daily square diamond huggies
Stonking diamonds and elaborate high jewellery are all well and good but no jewellery box is complete without a few elegant-yet-low-key pieces that can be turned to day after day for a little understated sparkle. Step forward the new Daily collection from Matilde Jewellery. This modular collection of recycled yellow and white gold hoops, chains, charms and pendants offers an array of interchangeable looks for statement stacking or minimalist vibes as the mood takes you.
Roger Vivier Viv' on the Run trainers
Okay, so Roger Vivier’s new trainer silhouette may not exactly be practical (or priced) for actually running in but, when paired with your favourite jeans or athleisure, they’re pretty show-stopping. Offered in blush, black and (my favourite) metallic accented colourways, their unique lacing system is a talking point in itself.
Mashu Calliope bag
Allow me to introduce your next handbag obsession: Mashu. Not only are its designs cool, contemporary talking points but they’re also sustainably produced, vegan certified and PETA-approved. Handmade in Athens using next-gen materials, such as apple leather, each bag also comes with a product passport so you can see exactly how and where it was made, along with its impact on the environment. Truly a brand of the 21st century.
Rimowa x Rick Owens cabin bag
Luggage isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when someone says ‘designer bag’ but, I’m calling it now, a suitcase from Rimowa’s new collaborative collection with Rick Owens will be the bag to be seen with at the airport this year. Limited to just 500 pieces, this cabin bag is finished with a manual pigment application which means the chic bronze patina on each is completely unique.
Rains long jacket
Lightweight, water repellant and a million miles from the Peter Storm your mum bought you when you were 10, Rains modern take on the classic rain jacket is the ideal piece for everything from winter walks to summer festivals. For 2025, the brand has also expanded its range of colourways to include a series of fun metallics perfect for al fresco parties.
Agolde Kelley straight-leg jeans
Every wardrobe needs a trusty pair of jeans. A style that can be turned to for office Fridays, weekend lunches, family gatherings and laidback date nights. Yet to find yours? Allow me to introduce the Agolde Kelley. Exclusive to Net-A-Porter, and part of the e-tailer’s Net Sustain portfolio of environmentally conscious brands, this is the ultimate looks-great-no-matter-the-situation jean. High-waisted, straight-legged and in an eternally flattering deep indigo wash, don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find yourself wearing them five times in a single week.
Ferragamo Vara loafers
The vogue for ballet flats is going nowhere but they’re not exactly practical for winter in London. If you’ve finally had enough of cold, damp toes invest, instead, in a pair of Ferragamo’s timeless Vara loafers. Made in Italy using supple buffed calfskin, this classic design is given luxe appeal thanks to a chain featuring the Ferragamo ‘F’ and subtle detailing on the heel.iker
Tala Sculpt Seamless bra vest
The downfall of many a well thought out gym look? Layers. You can invest in all the lightweight, sweat-wicking performance gear in the world but if it comes with scratchy labels or your sports bra rubs against your running top, you might as well have not bothered. Step forward Tala’s new Sculpt vest. Designed with a built-in bra and completely seam free for maximum comfort, it’s the ultimate one-and-done workout solution. I’m a big fan of this seasonal plum hue.b
Gem Dior diamond hoops
A contemporary spin on a timeless classic, these new additions to Dior’s Gem Dior fine jewellery collection offer a versatile upgrade on your favourite gold hoops. Inspired by the geometric shapes of minerals, they’re offered in yellow, rose or white gold and set with rows of exquisite white diamonds for a touch of everyday luxury.ag
Whistles Gemma dress
With its minimalist ’90s silhouette, seasonless powder blue hue and subtly sexy slit, Whistles’ Gemma dress may *technically* be part of its new bridal collection but I reckon you’ll be turning to it for far more than just bridesmaid’s duties.
Chanel Coco bracelet
Chanel’s hugely popular Coco Crush fine jewellery collection has just received a bevy of new additions — including the line’s first designs featuring rubies. Set on C-shaped pendants and in the hollow of Os on bracelets rendered in Chanel’s unique beige gold, these are investment pieces you’ll be wearing day after day.
Plissé Clémentine Checked Jacket
Founded with a mission to revolutionise women’s businesswear one meticulously tailored jacket at a time, each of Plissé London’s designs is handmade to order using end-of-roll fabrics sourced in France and Italy. Far from your average black blazers, Plissé’s pieces feature innovative, flatttering silhouettes and eye-catching fabrics guaranteed to have everyone asking where you got yours. This checked wool and linen jacket is the perfect companion to tailored trousers and denim alike.
Chloé Spin tote bag
An ingenious design by France’s most whimsical and romantic high fashion house, Chloé’s Spin bag comes equipped with a gold-toned ring and chain which elegantly transforms it from a minimalistic leather tote to a curvaceous bucket bag depending on how much room you need. The ultimate versatile multi-function piece.
Reformation Paris pumps
The die hard animal print lovers among us will argue that leopard print is a neutral – and that may never have been truer than in these heeled pumps by Reformation. Made from sustainable deadstock crepe, their tie-strap and gold-tone stiletto heel make them the perfect partner for a sexy LBD, casual denim or feminine wedding guest dress alike.
Saint + Sofia Ashby jacket
Taking its cues from Chanel’s famous twinsets, this boucle jacket by Saint + Sofia is your one-way ticket to easy Parisian style inssouciance. Its sleek slim cut and collarless silhouette are offset by a lightly shimmering gold weave and frayed hems that make it ideal for throwing on over a tailored dress, black jeans or wide-leg trousers. We suggest you buy it in both burgundy and navy so you have an option for every look.
Loquet Artemis Sapphire locket
London’s long-time purveyor of fine personalised lockets destined to be passed down through the generations has elevated its game even further with the debut of its new Artemis diamond and sapphire pendant. Crafted in 18k white gold and set with a trio of pear-cut diamonds and sapphires, along with a diamond-set edge, fill with your choice of the brand’s intricate, meaningful charms to build a piece that is utterly unique.
Celia B Seraph dress
If you’re after glam occasionwear with real wow factor, Celia B is the brand to turn to. Its eye-popping prints and bold sequinned designs are perfect for party season and beyond while its vintage-inspired silhouettes make for timelessly flattering pieces. You might buy this mid-length Seraph dress for the festive season – but don’t be surprised when you’re still reaching for it come summer’s garden parties.
Burberry Check cashmere scarf
As iconic designs go, they don’t come much more famous than Burberry’s timeless signature check. Found across the house’s trench coats, knitwear and accessories, if you’re looking for a piece that you can throw on at a moment’s notice to elevate any outfit, this cashmere scarf is just the ticket. Woven from double-faced cashmere at a Scottish mill that has been turning out some of the country’s finest weaves since 1797, the fabric is washed three times in local spring water to achieve a supremely soft finish — be sure to have yours personalised for a unique finishing touch.
Rat & Boa Juniper dress
If you like to make a statement with your party dressing, but don’t fancy braving the British winter in a sleeveless mini, allow me to present Rat & Boa’s Juniper dress. Long-sleeved, high-necked and floor-grazing, it promises to keep goosebumps at bay, while its bold floral print and elegantly sheer fabric mean there’s no compromise when it comes to fun partytime vibes.
J&M Davidson Groove bag
J&M Davidson was founded in Notting Hill in 1984 by husband-and-wife team John and Monique Davidson and has grown quite the cult following over the last four decades. Combining the quality and craftsmanship of a heritage British leather goods brands with the modern designs and silhouettes of a contemporary fashion house, each of its pieces exude understated elegance and sophistication. Take, for example, the Groove. This timeless silhouette features a unique strap design which allows for it to be worn over the shoulder or crossbody.
Whistles Gabriella overcoat
Who said raincoats couldn’t be suitable for the office? With its longline waxed Gabriella overcoat, Whistles has created a piece that is both stylish, functional and, most importantly, won’t look out of place with tailored trousers or a smart dress on rainy weekdays. Of course, with its contrasting corduroy collar and relaxed minimalist silhouette, it’ll look great with jeans too. Win win.
Cartier 18ct yellow gold Love bracelet
A design absolutely worthy of the descriptor ‘icon’, the Cartier Love bracelet is a piece that will truly never go out of style. Designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo, who took inspiration from the era’s ‘make love, not war’ movement, the tiny screws which form this unisex bracelet’s unique locking system remain an enduring symbol of modernity and refined taste. Presented with a tiny screwdriver, with which your nearest and dearest can ‘lock’ the bracelet onto your wrist, you’d be hard-pressed to come by a more perennially chic piece.
Liberty London Royal Hera dress
Perenially have a calendar full of big events but never seem to have the right dress for the occasion? Allow me to point you towards Liberty’s Royal Hera silk satin gala dress. Its ankle-skimming, ruffle-hemmed cut is hugely flattering on practically any figure while the eponymous peacock feather print is rendered in an elegant silver and navy colourway that works just as well for spring weddings as it does for black-tie festive affairs. Buy now and have your wardrobe dilemmas solved for years ahead.
Noushella Cora dress
Meet Noushella: a new luxury fashion brand founded with the aim of bringing awareness to women’s mental health challenges while simultaneously providing gorgeous investment pieces. Launching in November 2024, its debut collection takes inspiration from the seven female archetypes of Greek mythology to create stunningly intricate and elegant designs that celebrate the female form. This Cora dress, in the brand’s exclusive Elysium print, is an absolute show-stopper.

The perfect companion for jeans and a white shirt for day and an LBD at night.
Edge of Ember Solar Crescent Opal drop earrings
Still haven’t got your head around the mismatched earrings trend? Dip your toe in with Edge of Ember’s dainty (and subtly coordinating) sun and moon drop earrings. Ethically-made from recycled 14k yellow gold and set with cultured white opals and lab-grown diamonds, wear the sun and moon designs in separate ears or doubled up if you have a second piercing for a pretty, slightly edgy finishing touch.

Perpetually in search of that elusive perfect day-to-night dress that can be styled up or down as the occasion calls for? Well, call off the hunt — I’ve found it at Whistles. This emminently chic leather shift dress cuts a hugely flattering silhouette and can be layered over a burgundy polo neck (very on trend for AW24) in the office, worn with a silk blouse for date night or styled on its own for the dancefloor. Team with your favourite chunky boots, ballerina flats or heels as your mood (and the dress code) dictates. You’re welcome.
Rat & Boa Aizza dress
More of a minimalist when it comes to party dressing? Rat & Boa’s signature Aizza slip brings the sexiness without resorting to sequins and sparkle. Inspired by the classic ’90s silhouette, this figure-skimming design is statement without being shouty, and is rendered in a deeply chic coffee hue that flatters all skin tones. Wear with stacks of bold jewellery and your comfiest heels for dancing the night away.
FOPE emerald bubble bracelet
Everyday fine jewellery doesn’t come much better than FOPE’s range of beautiful 18k gold bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Designed to be worn alone for some understated sparkle or piled high for a statement look, its Bubble collection is the epitome of Italian elegance. Utilising the brand’s aptented Flex’It system, which makes the chain fully flexible and stretchy for the ultimate comfortable fit, it’s finished with a stunning gold bead set with emeralds and diamonds.
Christopher Kane x Self-Portrait jumper
When London-based designer Christopher Kane shuttered his namesake house in 2023 it was both to the surprise, and dismay, of the luxury fashion world. Kane was a London Fashion Week stalwart with a loyal following across the globe and his influence has been much missed. Well, thanks to Self-Portrait’s new ‘In Residency’ programme, he’s back. The debut collaborative collection has seen Kane put his signature celebratory, feminine twist of a range of saccharine-hued dresses, knitwear, mini skirts, bags and accessories. I’m coveting this sunshine-yellow jumper.
Burberry Check cashmere scarf
Warming winter staples don’t come much more classic than Burberry’s archival check scarf. Crafted in a traditional Scottish mill, the design has been upgraded for 2024 in a supremely soft and incredibly cosy cashmere, which is washed in local spring water and brushed with dried flowers to give the fabric the finest possible finish. Perfect for gifting, make it that little bit more special by personalising with their initials.
Tom Ford Dyllan velvet tuxedo jacket
We’re officially in black tie season and, if your ancient tux is looking a little worse for wear, it’s high time you upgraded to a dancefloor-ready velvet version. Part of the American brand’s exclusive partnership with Mr Porter, Tom Ford’s deeply chic burgundy velvet tuxedo jacket sports an on-trend double-breasted silhouette and is best worn with a dandyish bow tie and patent leather Oxfords.
Lylie Sweet Pea bangle
Created using lab-grown diamonds and salvaged 9ct yellow gold, this Sweet Pea bangle from British jewellery brand Lylie’s new Chrysalis collection is an eco-concious investment for your jewellery box. Inspired by organic forms, and also available set with colourful repurposed gem stones, it makes a statement while also being dainty enough for everyday wear. Love.
Alexander McQueen clutch bag
Depicting a detail from Diego Velázquez’s 1650 masterpiece Portrait of Innocenzo X picked out in 2,400 crystals, this Alexander McQueen clutch bag is a work of art in its own right. And, while it may boast a price tag large enough to discourage you from taking it for a spin on the dancefloor, we guarantee that should you work up the courage, you’ll be the talk of the town.
Patou x Onitsuka Tiger beanie
Combining the elegance of heritage Parisian fashion house Patou with the streetwear cool of Japanese label Onitsuka Tiger, this collaboration is a perfect demonstration of opposites attracting. Spanning footwear, casualwear and accessories, the highly feminine, youthful collection is your one-way ticket to high-fashion kudos.
Matilde Round Duo diamond studs
Everyday jewellery doesn’t come much easier or more nonchalant than a pair of diamond studs and, thanks to London-based jewellery brand Matilde’s new Daily Studs collection, there’s a whole host of new lab-grown diamond and recycled gold options to choose from. Our pick of the bunch are these delicate duo designs featuring stacked round-cut diamonds.
Bulgari Divas' Dream rose gold necklace
Okay, yes, at the best part of £90k this may be more of a considered purchase than a quick ‘add to cart’ but, if there’s a lady in your life that’s been particularly good this year, why not truly spoil her by popping Bulgari’s arresting Divas’ Dream necklace under the Christmas tree? Taking its cues from Bulgari’s long-standing association with Italian dolce vita, it combines a show-stopping art deco style silhouette with dazzling diamonds, sapphires, tanzanite and malachite to create a piece she’ll want to show off again and again.
Belstaff x Represent Enduro jacket
Heritage motorcycling-inspired menswear brand Belstaff has teamed up with contemporary streetwear label Represent on a limited edition capsule collection inspired by a custom 1970s Knobby’s Enduro Trialmaster jacket. Offering a more relaxed take on the original, this oversized utility jacket is as practical as it is stylish.
Fope Essentials 18ct yellow gold hoop earrings
You can never go wrong with a great pair of gold hoops and, in my humble opinion, Italian heritage jewellery house FOPE does some of the best in the business. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold and featuring a link design resembling the house’s signature Flex’It chain, these may just be the best fine jewellery investment you ever make.
Hunza G Tyra swimsuit
Jetting off for some winter sun but also sport the kind of translucent skin that reddens at the mere mention of a balmy climate? Allow me to introduce Hunza G’s new UPF 50+ sun protection collection. Designed to be worn alone or over your favourite swimwear, and in or out of the water, the capsule collection of long-sleeved and sleeveless swimsuits and rash vests is suncare made chic.
Vrai Dome bangle
