In a time when trends come and go quickly in fashion, there’s something to be said for investing in standout collectible pieces that surpass the winds of the season. Whether it’s an ornate buckle loafer from the debut collection of Jonathan Anderson for Dior or a one-of-a-kind necklace with an 18-karat pear-shaped aquamarine pendant, whatever the budget, it’s about selecting conversation starters that spark excitement when getting dressed.
It’s a departure from the subdued and subtle manner of accessorizing that has taken the reins the past few years. But there is also practicality in investing in such items that make a first impression. They’re meant to be worn, and not hidden away in the safe collecting dust. It’s a reminder that the most enduring luxury is the freedom to wear what gives you joy now.
