5 Things Every Woman Should Have in Her Wardrobe

We love to know the secrets of well-dressed women, especially when they work for one of the most recognised luxury fashion retailers (ah, that would be Net-a-Porter). While senior buyer Holly Russell was recently visiting Australia, we caught up to find out what she thinks every woman should have in her wardrobe—and we couldn’t help asking how many of those special black Net-a-Porter boxes she has. Her answer? “Definitely too many to count!”
Keep reading to find out what Holly Russell think you should add to your wardrobe.
“A pair of brogues or loafers; they are perfect for this time of year in Australia and they tap into the nerdy eccentric trend which will be big for autumn. Givenchy’s Derby studded version are top of my wish list.”

“A neutral oversized sweater by The Row is a must for every woman’s wardrobe.”
“An investment tote bag from a brand like Saint Laurent in black leather to carry each day.”
“A great pair of pants—Altuzarra’s Serge flares are amazing.”
“A beautiful piece of outerwear. Something classic such as Stella McCartney’s Bryce coat in navy and I love her faux-fur pieces as well.”
