Best of fashion this week: Oscar de la Renta to Chanel, all the hot new arrivals you need to get your hands on
This summer is a bit different and it shows. While we're stuck at home, seeking refuge from a pandemic that's wreaking havoc, our fingers are furiously tapping on our devices hoping to get the best out of the newest deals bestowed on us. The struggle is real because in-person shopping is out of the question. But fret not. We're rounding up the best of this week and the hottest new arrivals across various fashion brands to aid in your trend-setting decisions.
Good American
Khloe Kardashian's co-founded brand has been blessing us with wholesome sales this summer and it's only about to get better. The new arrivals coming in this week have been designed exclusively for us this summer. While the world is still grappling with the effects of the pandemic and you're cooped at home, not feeling your best, Good American has come through with some of the hottest summer essentials that are bound to connect you to your inner diva. Among our favorite pieces is the After Party dress, priced at $159, in silky lack. It is a short length dress, ending mid-thigh with a cinched mid-waist. Sporting a gorgeous open lapel collar and long-sleeves, the dress is all parts simple and sexy. And while it would be perfect for a night out, the dress is a glam fitting for any occasion.
Chanel
Chanel, while well-known for its timeless fashion and luxurious make-up, also has some of the resplendent fragrances, you may have come across. The fashion house's new collection of Les Eaux de Chanel is inspired by four Parisian coastal spots that were dear to Mademoiselle Gabrielle Chanel. Our pick is the Paris-Riviera ($130), a gorgeous, sunny, and playful redolence combining the sweet, tangy freshness of Sicilian Orange with the delicateness of Neroli. Chanel built her La Pausa villa on the Côte d’Azur in 1928. The fragrance encapsulates the sweetness and excitement of life in the French Riviera in a bottle, emanating the fresh, floral, and solar scent.
Gucci
Vacations to exotic hotspots may be out of the question but that doesn't mean you can't find an alternative for your escapism. A getaway with Gucci, as its new collection of vibrant and spirited collections of accessories suggests, embodies the finest resort destinations in its design. From Hawaii to Capri, the atmosphere, color, and soul of the world's most coveted tropical locations, beaches, and nightlife are embodied in tote bags, hats, silk scarves and more coordinating accessories. Our favorite is the Mykonos tire bag, priced at $2,490, that invokes the essence of the historical Greek Island splayed out in the Aegean Sea. The name of the island is embossed in metallic gold lettering on a leather patch. Enhancing orange and blue stripes exude the culture with light blue embroidered G's that signify the brand.
Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta's designs are among the most popular, coveted by celebrities and high-end fashion fingers all over. First seen on the runway, this embroidered dress, priced at $3,945, with its stunning cutout patterns and a layered fringe hem would be a chic new addition to your wardrobe. It is a part of the Ready-to-Wear Fall 2020 collection, featuring mostly cocktail and eveningwear that boasted magnificent designs complemented by bold tones, color blocking, bright hues, and chiaroscuro prints on fine silk textures. Our favorite feature about this dress is that it radiates a bohemian vibe and paired with the right accessories would be a show-stopping ensemble.
Rag and Bone
This denim-inspired lather dress is easily among our top five favorites. The vermillion dress, priced at $330, is all parts hipster yet chic and has a monochrome Rag & Bone dress avant-garde appeal. It gives the illusion of a shirt-dress with a perforated banding wrapped around the waist and high collar buttons complete with a shirt collar.
