My Style Is 100% Hushed Luxury—Here's My Pre-Fall Wish List
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.

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.
