Monthly MATCHESFASHION Must-Haves

MATCHESFASHION is our forever go-to for wardrobe hits we want to wear on repeat.

When it comes to curating a stylish selection of high-end brands, no one does it quite like MATCHESFASHION. From smart tailoring and chic outerwear solutions, to lust-worthy bags and delicate jewellery, MATCHESFASHION always has the most covetable array of fashion pieces to add to basket. Here’s what’s on CF’s wish list this month.

In partnership with MATCHESFASHION


THE TRENCH COAT

A trench coat is an iconic staple with season-upon-season wearability. However, it's the cut that makes all the difference and Alexander McQueen can always be relied upon for masterful tailoring. This trench exemplifies understated simplicity: the archetypal biege hue, cinched waist, and faille-silk weave make for a true wardrobe icon.

THE BACK-TO-WORK BAG

Back-to-work bags need not be dull: modern women require a chic piece of arm candy to take them from the office to dinner and cocktails, and beyond.The Sac de Jour Baby bag has all the hallmarks of a forever classic that will hold its value. The compact shape is also deceptively capacious – perfect for storing your daily essentials. Carry it by the rolled-top handles or make use of the detachable cross-body strap for ultimate versatility.

THE STATEMENT BLOUSE

There's plenty of room in our wardrobes for another statement blouse, such as this romantic creation by Self-Portrait. Crafted from structured taffeta with puffed sleeves and a fitted, gathered bodice, it's oh-so flattering, and will freshen up your jeans-and-a-nice-top formula instantly.

THE TUXEDO JACKET

MATCHESFASHION's in-house label Raey is a treasure trove of elevated wardrobe classics – case in point, this smart blazer. Every woman should own a sleek tuxedo jacket: it's the Fashion-Editor approved pinnacle of a hard-working capsule wardrobe. However, not all blazers are created equal: with a slender nipped-waist, soft power shoulder, and sleek silhouette, this one's the perfect style equation.

THE MODERN HOOPS

Gold hoops are a jewellery-box mainstay for us, as they hold eternal allure. A chunky gold hoop, in particular, adds a substantial note of glamour to any outfit. We look to Laura Lombardi for the perfect form: these are melded into a sculptural tubular shape for a refreshing take on the jewellery icon.

THE DRESS

An effortless midi dress is still very much de rigueur, and the cornerstone of every woman's wardrobe. As we stash away our spritely florals, it's time to infuse your autumn wardrobe with rich jewel tones. Resplendent with ruffles and a pretty polka-dot print, this versatile midi dress will work hard for you – simply add trainers, or knee-high boots for effortless transeasonal style.

THE CHIC FLATS

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to totter around in stiletto heels to be glamorous. Valentino make the perfect case for a backless flat with these stud-adorned shoes. With a sharp-pointed toe, and buckled ankle strap, these are ludicrously comfortable and elevate even the simplest of ensembles. With shoes this dazzling, your feet will command some serious attention.

Totême has that magic power of turning everyday staples into refined pieces.This beige and navy Breton-striped knit is a key example. In a heavyweight wool-cotton mix, it's a staycation wardrobe hero which effortlessly embodies Riviera chic.

THE TROPHY PENDANT

Booked a last-minute trip somewhere hot and beachy? Elegant costume jewellery should be top of your wish list. This By Alona pendant is the definition of happy-making jewellery: a riot of gemstone-adorned charms and baroque pearls that will look particularly lovely against sun-warmed skin.
