How to Spot a Fashion Classic, From a Net-a-Porter Buyer

If you’re an avid fashion fan, you might recognise Page from the street style roundups of London, Milan, Paris and New York—usually snapped with a fellow NET-A-PORTER buyer, phone in hand, en route to her next show. When it comes to talking about fashion classics, you won’t find a greater authority than Page, who has honed her personal style down to a well-curated edit of pieces from cult brands such as Totême, Saint Laurent and The Row. After all, when you spend your time shaping the stock of a luxury e-commerce giant, you probably get a pretty good sense of what is, and what is not, worth our time and attention.  But as we all know, deciding what fashion items to inve...

11 Perfumes That Beauty Insiders Agree Are the Best of the Best

While there’s genuinely nothing I love more than sharing my favourite beauty finds with people—whether that’s through my writing here or in a flurry of WhatsApp messages with friends seeking a new moisturiser—I can’t deny that recommending a product always makes me feel a bit jittery. After all, I’m lucky enough to be sent lots of products to try as part of my job. While I’d never advocate for anything that I didn’t genuinely think was great, suggesting that somebody actually part with their hard-earned cash to buy it always makes me nervous because—let’s face it—beauty is incredibly personal. A certain cleanser that I’ve said is brilliant at soothing breakouts might truly work, but if my best friend only likes cream textu...

The Winter Staples to Invest In This Season

When it comes to winter dressing, we’re all about making considered, investment purchases we can rely on to carry us through the season. Summer outfits may have all the fun and frivolity, yes, but prints and brights can date easily so it’s difficult to know what will survive into the next season. With autumn/winter you can always count on a palette of rich hues, creamy neutrals and interesting textures to feel not only appropriate but elevated. So you can be more confident committing to quality pieces you can pull out year after year.  You can also rely on just a few key hero pieces to carry your whole winter wardrobe— that’s where buying less but better comes in. We’re talking the perfect coat, top quality knits, essential layers and, of course, some great boots. Mix thes...

5 Investment Jewellery Pieces That Rival Rolex Watches

Much like Hermès Birkin bags, Rolex watches are seen by many as the pinnacle of luxury and prestige, sartorially speaking. And just like its handbag counterparts, the watches hold their value extremely well, making them smart investments. According to The RealReal, pristine Rolex watches hold 97% of their value on the resale market, but they aren’t the only heirloom-worthy item worth saving up for. Below, The RealReal revealed five pieces of jewellery that are similarly wise investments. For instance, some necklaces from celebrity-loved brand Foundrae can be resold for more than they were purchased for—how’s that for proof that they’re especially covetable right now? Scroll down to see and shop five prized possessions that are as valuable as Rolex watches right now. You D...

Liberty’s Advent Calendar Has Just Landed—This Is Why We Think It’s Worth It

Now, when it comes to beauty advent calendars, people fall into one of two camps—either they prefer to keep the contents of each drawer a complete surprise, or they insist on knowing exactly what to expect to find inside before they buy. Should you identify with the latter, you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve procured the full list below. A word of caution, however: Once you see exactly what the £225 Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar will get you, you’ll struggle to find an excuse not to treat yourself (or a very lucky someone) to it. The Beauty Advent Calendar contains 25 products:  Uoma Beauty Drama Bomb Extreme Volume Mascara Mini in Black 8ml (Full Size) Le Labo Another 13 Eau de Parfum 15ml (Full Size) Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector 100ml (Full Size) Votary Brighte...

Autumn’s First It Bag Comes Courtesy of JW Anderson, Obviously

JW Anderson has become a bit of a magician in the world of designer handbags. Season after season, the designer offers up lust-worthy styles that are quickly catapulted to cult status within a matter of weeks, including the Disc Satchel and the iconic Pierce Bag. It might not be a brand with a history as long as Chanel, but it has certainly garnered the respect of influencers and industry insiders alike. Well, this season, the brand has dropped another gem, and of course, it’s on track to become autumn’s first It bag. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

10 Years Later, Every Fashion Editor Still Wants to Own This Iconic Jumper

You can forgive us for wanting to talk about knitwear incessantly right now. After a fairly lacklustre summer (save for that one week of really good weather), we’re very much looking forward to all the great jumper, sweater and cardigan outfit options that are out there. Of course, there are some classics that we go back to over and over. A black roll-neck? Absolutely. A cardi you can belt? You better believe it. But one piece of knitwear that I know every fashion editor loves is the Bella Freud 1970 jumper. It’s become something of a cult buy among the fashion and celebrity crowds.  The 1970 jumper was created in 2011 as part of Freud’s collection titled English Boy and has remained a best seller ever since. The brand has reissued it this sea...

Fashion Editors Agree: These 5 Autumn Pieces Are Worth Investing In

After years of reporting on different trends as fashion editors, we often end up eschewing said trends altogether when it comes to our own wardrobes. Whether this is a result of feeling overwhelmed with the pure volume of clothes out there or a direct reaction to seeing trends come and go so quickly, many of us have ended up with a more streamlined selection of investment pieces that we wear year after year. Not only does this simplify things when getting dressed in the mornings, but it’s also a more sustainable approach to dressing. Of course, everyone has their own personal style and thoughts about what actually counts as an investment buy, but there are some key items we can all agree on. For autumn, this list includes buttery soft leather, premium knitwear, versatile shirts for la...

This Sell-Out Designer Bag Has Just Been Upgraded (and Restocked) for Autumn

Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. Firstly, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody’s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the logo-emblazoned cotton canvas ribbon handles. As it’s a thing of beauty, we predicted at the start of 2021 that Woody would be a sell-out as soon as it debuted. Why? Because the shoe iteration was, and remains, a best seller for the brand. Also affectionately named Woody, the flat rubber-and-cotton canvas slip-on sandals were a huge hit this past summer and have recently seen a restock at Net-a-Porter. Naturally, after its success, the designer shopping behemoth also invested in the Woody Tot...

These Trending Jewellery Pieces Are Going to Be Big News in 2022

Jewellery trends, like clothing, handbag or footwear ones, are divided into two camps right now. On one side, the classics; on the other, a wild riotous party of fun. The wonder of it all is that you can follow a singular path but there’s also scope for the two opposing looks to be really fantastic when clashes together. A navy crew-neck jumper worn with a string of playful beads; a simple bracelet stack against a super-voluminous sleeve; a dramatically cut-out dress juxtaposed against a timeless chain necklace—these combinations spark joy. So it makes sense that autumn’s most important jewellery trends are split into two distinctly different vibes to follow suit: “forever” pieces like classic bangles or tennis necklaces, versus ou...
