This Season's Most Versatile Investments
Now, more than ever, the ‘new normal’ has had a huge impact on the way we dress. Home and work-life boundaries have blurred, so too have our outfits. We need off-duty looks for long walks on the weekend & hardworking garments that can be worn with everything from sneakers to stilettos. Statement-makers, basics, wardrobe fail-safes… Whatever their genre, these 7 key designs will provide the unshakable foundations of any wardrobe that you’ll reach for time and time again.
THE VERSATILE JACKET
If you’re looking for a real statement-maker, look no further than our Novella Faux Fur Bomber, a favourite of our Director & head designer Belinda Glynn. “My favourite piece is our best selling Novella Fur Bomber which sold out in record time last season and we have repeated in new colours of tan and khaki. Such a versatile piece that I like to throw on over my gym gear or dress up with leather pants and heels.”
Versatility is a keyword that is more important than ever for our wardrobes. And with its ultra-soft faux fur feels and neutral tones, you’re sure to have the Novella on heavy rotation, whatever your style.
