Born in the NHS shirt

“As someone who is self-diagnosed as ‘chronically online’, Born in the NHS shirt I’ve seen a lot of flash-in-the-pan trends over the past few seasons,” says Elinor Block, editorial lead at luxury fashion gaming company Drest, which enables its users to create infinite outfit possibilities in the metaverse. “The past year we saw Barbiecore, ‘blokecore’ and ‘tomato-girl summer’ emerge as some of the bigger, zeitgeisty aesthetics adopted by Gen Z and the TikTok crowd. And whilst some are rooted in major trends, when it comes to real life, there’s no doubt that longevity and items that work season after season are a bigger draw. “When playing with clothes in Drest, however, there’s definitely a different kind of approach I take to dressing. The virtual world allows me to style looks that I might not have considered before with more out-there pieces from high-octane brands such as David Koma or Balmain—I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that cherry-red, rose-covered dress that I spied on the S/S 24 runway. It gives me a chance to be more experimental and see how I can move that into my IRL wardrobe without taking too much of a risk.” This, dear reader, is what the modern-day dressing-up box looks like. As always, any piece you invest in, be it inspired by the trends below or otherwise, should only be purchased if you intend on keeping it in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. I’ve gone to great lengths to cherry-pick the ones that have a chance.

The street style looks at New York Fashion Week are already setting the bar high for the spring/summer 2024 season. Born in the NHS shirt Minimalism has found its footing with directional twists. New silhouettes are taking hold. Flat shoes are dominating in every possible iteration. What can we expect to see more of on the best dressed style set as fashion month continues? Moda Operandi Chief Brand Officer Lauren Santo Domingo, a street style veteran, is weighing in with her essential fashion-month buys. “This season, I feel like living on the edge,” Santo Domingo tells Who What Wear. “Phoebe Philo convinced me that it is okay to wear navy and black (yes, at one point that was considered reckless), but somehow, I still held on to my belief that one could not mix metals or leathers. This season, I plan to wear black shoes with a brown belt and silver and gold stacked bangles.” The rules continue to be rewritten! Santo Domingo’s short list of exact shopping finds includes everything from the insider piece to order from the men’s section at J.Crew to must-buy early-fall items to the best edit of flat shoes on the market. Expect to see these pieces on the street style scene in Milan and Paris soon.
