These Best-Selling Fall Trends On NET-A-PORTER Invite Luxury Into The Everyday

From knit sets to avant-garde silhouettes.

Fashion has the ability to make us feel all sorts of ways: glamorous in a sequined evening dress, comfortable in the perfect white T-shirt, confident in a sky-high pair of platform heels. At the center of NET-A-PORTER’s Fall/Winter 2021 campaign is another way clothing can make us feel: like ourselves. Designed to showcase individuality through fashion, the season’s selection celebrates self-expression. What we choose to wear speaks louder than words — It’s an outward reflection of who we are, and how we want the world to see us.

“Fashion reminds me of who I am as an individual and what my personal taste is,” says NET-A-PORTER Senior Fashion Editor Libby Page in a press release. “The overall mood of the Fall/Winter 2021 season is one of optimism and positive change. It’s all about embracing, celebrating, and re-discovering one’s personal style — and staying true to that.” And the latest curation of fall pieces is here to help achieve just that. Impeccable tailoring, playful colors, and elevated essentials are a common thread through fall’s most popular styles. Find new ways to invite luxury into the everyday with some of this season’s best-selling trends on NET-A-PORTER, below.

Knitted Out

Unsurprisingly, knitwear is a major player this fall. From bright and graphic pieces to neutral options, the super-soft fabric is as comfortable as it is relevant. Though your typical crew and turtleneck sweaters are forever staples, today’s trending items come in interesting shapes — just look to Fendi’s Fall 2021 collection for proof. The label’s ribbed knit off-the-shoulder shirt and coordinating midi-skirt, made from a wool, mohair, silk, and cashmere mix, offers an unexpected take on classic knitwear. The top features a dramatic cropped silhouette, while the bottom half takes figure-hugging to the extreme. Plus, it comes in a seasonal muted brown.

Avant-Garde Silhouettes

Loewe’s Fall 2021 offering is full of mood-boosting hues in line with “the bold, beautiful, and bright attitude of the season” that Page describes. The best trends of the moment blend craftsmanship with eclecticism, like lightweight outerwear and easy-to-wear footwear that will last all fall and winter (and spring, too). With an emphasis on tailoring, this fringed bolero jacket is the right balance of playful and structured with an exaggerated collar and slim-fitting bodice. Styled with an asymmetric midi skirt and chunky loafer-style ankle boots, the resulting look is one that works for both the office and social events.

Delicate Eveningwear

This season, we’re revisiting femininity — and what that looks like — with delicate pieces for evening. That starts with a rise in floor-length dresses and matching sets that make a serious statement. Look for items in fall-ready materials, like velvet jacquard, and with special details. This cropped off-the-shoulder blouse and coordinating tiered maxi skirt from Alaia features intricate lace-like cutouts — a nod to the French fashion house’s signature look. Think of this combination as the coolest way to embrace winter whites.
