Fall always brings a wave of “new,” but this season feels different. It’s less about chasing another round of trends, but rather shopping for pieces that strike the rare balance between fresh and lasting (my case in point, above, during NYFW!). Net-A-Porter’s just-out edit is full of options that could easily carry me forward year after year: sharp tailoring that doubles as everyday uniform, boots that ground everything, outerwear that’s more investment than indulgence. I’ve been bookmarking the kind of staples I will still be reaching for years from now, which include these Alaia wedges that I spotted on my chicest friend in New York, this extra Dries Van Noten blouse in lieu a white button-down, and this statement-making fringed Toteme jacket. Shop them all here.
