Everyday wear, but elevated

It speaks volumes that this year's most googled pieces – jeans and oversized shirts, according to Google’s report – are as unassuming as it gets. Kate Moss’s turn in jeans, a tank top and a plaid shirt at Bottega’s spring/summer 2023 show had us immediately reaching for basics (even though her “denim” was actually made from trompe l’oeil leather)

The standout everyday shoe to say yes to this year? Ballet pumps, which have been a breakout hit (see Miu Miu’s satin pairs). “Ballet flats are here to stay as our customers look for polished styles to complement their hybrid lifestyles,” says Wiggins. Fanny Moizant, co-founder of resale site Vestiaire Collective, meanwhile, anticipates fancy flats will dominate the vintage market.

According to experts, the best pieces to invest in transcend trends and will stand the test of time. “We are seeing a shift in the way our customers are buying, moving further away from trends and instead looking for luxury pieces with a democratic price point that will work as an investment for the long term,” explains Wiggins.
