We’re launching this penultimate issue of the year with the perfect cover star for the theme, Jessie Randall of Loeffler Randall, a designer you probably know thanks to her much-loved accessories like the brand’s signature bow shoes. Petro shot her in her New York home, and we loved taking a peek inside her wardrobe on page 7Perfect WardrobeJessie Randall.
Following on from that, we have a number of really juicy but helpful shopping pages, curated by our Fashion Director, Polly. What she does so well is effortless style, something that really resonates with you, our readers. We’re really concerned with making sure that you still feel like yourself while getting dressed-up, so what connects all of the pages in this issue is this sense of getting dressed-up, but in a dressed-down way. We focus on this in ICONS Guide (page 8Icons Guide8 Shortcuts To Perfectly Dressed-Down Party Style), where we show you how to do dressed-down party wear with ease. You’ll also find a timeless edit of the 10 best LBDs to buy now (page 13Top TenThe Best LBDs To Buy Now), a look at how to add silver to your party-season wardrobe in Unexpected Hero (page 14Unexpected HeroHow To Wear Silver This Party Season (And Beyond)) and a super-helpful round-up of the best party accessories (page 11Curated by W.ICONS20 Accessories To Complete Your Party Looks). We really hope these pages convey a sense of ease and timelessness that you’ll return to year after year.
