I write The Luxury List column for Who What Wear, which means that I’m constantly looking at the latest designer pieces to hit the fashion market. While there are plenty of retailers I turn to for the coolest luxury arrivals, I spend a majority of my time scouring the new drops at Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and Fwrd—shopping sites that consistently have a great edit of the investment pieces I want to add to my cart.
Right now, I have a number of luxe buys sitting on my shopping wish list. At a moment of high summer, I’m thinking about both vacation-worthy finds and early fall pieces that I plan on wearing in the coming months. From retro printed swimsuits and flatform lace-up sandals to western ankle boots and strappy maxi dresses, these are all of the cool luxury buys that made the cut.
