Payday Has Arrived! 5 Chic Forever Pieces I’m Considering Investing in This Month

Payday is officially here, and after a somewhat disappointing summer, it's time to treat ourselves—and our wardrobes. If you're anything like me, by the time payday rolls around I'm already thinking about one or two wish list items that have been sitting patiently in my bookmarks, and whilst there are many tempting destinations to indulge my desire, one site always tops my list when I'm thinking about investing: NET-A-PORTER.

I've been eyeing a few items that aren't just stylish but also versatile enough to wear again and again: think classic outerwear, chic flats and those elegant basics that elevate every outfit. These are the kind of pieces that feel special yet effortless; a mix of investment buys that promise to be my favourites for the season ahead and many more to come, whether I'm heading to meetings or dinners, or simply embracing the autumn chill in style.

NET-A-PORTER 's selection is always impeccable, balancing timeless designs with the season's standout trends, and as the new autumn collections start rolling in, I've been saving some seriously good finds that I know will fit seamlessly into my wardrobe. From the do-it-all tote that will carry me from the office through after-work drinks to a sleek pair of boots that are perfect for stomping around the city in comfort and style, these pieces are as functional as they are fashionable. I'm all about curating a wardrobe that works hard but looks effortless, and with NET-A-PORTER’s expertly edited selection, that's never been easier.

For instance, there's a gorgeous Max Mara camel coat I'm destined to love forever, which I'll layer over everything from tailored trousers to weekend denim. I'm also dreaming of a pair of structured flats that will elevate my workwear rotation without sacrificing comfort—hello, Aeyde; and then there's the perfect crisp white button-down by Anine Bing that I'll get so much wear out of.

Below, I've rounded up the pieces currently topping my payday fashion wish list. These are the autumn investment buys I know will be worth every penny.
