I spend a significant amount of time scouring the web for pieces worth sharing, and although I always try and bring a selection of the finest things the internet has to offer to the fore, be they from independent labels or French fashion houses, there's one place I can always rely on for inspiration: Net-A-Porter.
It’s one of my favourite shopping destinations for premium buys, seamlessly combining high-end pieces, quality basics and luxe homeware for the discerning shopper. Its curation is exceptional and its buyer picks are apt when it comes to aspiration and quality for the customer who shops investment pieces.
The site sparks inspiration and facilitates a transfer from the runway to the living room, making luxury fashion feel attainable and indeed "ready to wear", beyond the spectacle of the FROW. With Net-A-Porter’s sale season dwindling and early signifiers of autumn already landing on site, it should come as no surprise that this is my first stop on my prepping list for the months ahead.
Monikh Dale wears a piece from her collection with Faithfull the Brand.
My favourite time for browsing is pre-autumn. I have an affinity for dresses and prefer to invest in styles I’ll have for a lifetime, so seeing versatile frocks arrive on Net-A-Porter always fills me with joy. My favourite brands to peruse right now are Ninety Percent, TOVE, By Malene Birger, Bondi Born and Faithfull the Brand, the latter of which has gifted us a sleek collaboration with stylist and fellow Who What Wear columnist Monikh Dale, and it's one to covet.
The collection comprises ‘70s-inspired apparel, featuring chic but easy-to-wear styles awash with rich Mediterranean tones. It mimics the colourways of natural components whilst boasting modern yet timeless silhouettes. They're the sort of pieces I can imagine wearing with knee-high boots just as well as sandals—a true mark of versatility.
In addition to its directional brands, Net-A-Porter houses the classic names we all adore. For shoppers who are keen to discover lesser-known brands, the site features a "new names to know" tab, showcasing the latest brands to land on-site. My favourite feature though is the Net Sustain edit, which highlights ethical brands, considered collections and innovative textiles that are kinder to the planet.
I could gush about my love of Net-A-Porter for a good while, but instead, I’ve compiled a pre-fall edit with some of my favourite latest offerings. Keep reading to see and shop the best Net-A-Porter has to offer now and for the season ahead.
Shop My Net-A-Porter Pre-Fall Edit:
Reformation's latest drop includes pieces with the sweetest bloom adornments courtesy of this season's trends. Considered a sustainable brand, Reformation hones in on pieces with an ageless appeal.
A puckered style in this rich tobacco hue, the seersucker fabric loans clothing a sculpted silhouette.
This style is made even better with the matching skirt, although you can also easily wear the two pieces separately.
Jimmy Choo's arsenal gets more and more impressive. If you're looking for wedding shoes, I'd recommend heading straight for these designs.
This crop top features a ruffled trim and adjustable straps. It's the convertibility we can all appreciate when it comes to tops.
A light cotton skirt with an elasticated trim and delicate ruffle hem.
There are many ballerina iterations this season, from mary janes to scrunched flats. This style features both components.
A slightly more streamlined offering than Matteau's typical billowy offerings.
By Pariah is a favourite of many a stylish person, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber. The collection features sparkling jewels, but I'm most drawn to the polished metals.
Sleeper is renowned for the Atlanta dress, but its latest summer release includes equally as whimsical pieces.
Loewe's trench coats are simply exquisite.
A cult piece to invest in ahead of autumn.
You could wear this as your wedding clutch or for a date night—the styling opportunities are endless.
Totême released this sculpted maxi in black earlier this year. This buttery yellow colourway has arrived just in time for summer.
Isabel Marant is a prestigious brand that coasts alongside the newer fashion labels. Its creations (particularly of the suede variety) never fail to impress me.
A classic mule in a cool-toned hue.
Bottega Veneta bags are classics, and I'm appreciating the expansive colourways this season.
This column dress boasts a sophisticated yet laid-back appeal. It's wearable for many occasions.
Alaïa's mesh mary janes have taken the fashion world by storm, but did you know its collection includes myriad footwear designs?
Faithfull the Brand x Monikh is a feast for the eyes. The 28-piece collection includes two-pieces, overlays and swimwear, all with a '70s feel and in keeping with Monikh's distinctive style and colour palette.
The perfect pairing with the aforementioned top. The jewelled belt alone deserves an honourable mention.
If the popularity of last season's Jacquemus is anything to go by, its latest releases are destined for sell-out status.
Savette's accessories are inspired by modern and Renaissance art. This vintage-style box bag will not only take you from day to night, but through decades of wear. It's timeless.
You can rely on Beare Park for good-quality, clean-cut and anti-trend designs.
I adore the ruched elements of this Agra top. The periwinkle colouring further accentuates the design features.
If there's one place I celebrate saturated hues, it's my lingerie capsule. I can always count on Dora Larsen when I'm in need of figure-accentuating lingerie, and its latest pieces are the epitome of dopamine dressing.
A top-half version of Wolford's much coveted Gilda dress, featuring the boned corset feature and ruched accents. It's the ultimate "going out" top.
I always reach for Deiji Studios during the hotter months. The pieces offer comfort, breathability and a relaxed essence you can lean into at home or away.
Valentino Garavani's Vlogo motif evokes a vintage feel through the neutral tone of the monogramming. It's a style minimalists can easily weave into their footwear wardrobes to accompany pared-back ensembles.
The Row's Ginza flip-flops are favoured by many but hard to acquire. Now the wait is over and they're back in stock in all three colourways!
Prada presents us with an oval frame with a slightly squared-off, tapered edge. I'm deeming it the modern cat eye.
Ulla Johnson crafts the ultimate whimsical party dresses. The voluminous skirt paired with the constructed waist detail loans this dress a fuller shape.
A silky midi skirt with a wraparound waist-tie feature which you can fasten high or low.
Shop the matching +Net Sustain Teramo Draped Twill Tank (£276).
I'm quite particular when it comes to ballet flats, but this pair by Manolo Blahnik are perfect—a classic with subtle modern features. Between the buttery suede, rounded toe and wooden sole, it's a minimalist yet effective design.
