How to Dress with Intent

Our editor chooses the pieces that make getting dressed feel effortless and, more importantly, make you feel entirely yourself.

Dressing with intent is not about following a formula. It is about choosing clothes that alter the way you carry yourself: a sharper posture, a little more confidence and the welcome feeling that everything has fallen into place.

For AW26, embracing a designer’s vision from head to toe offers an effortless starting point. Voranida’s architectural separates create a sense of quiet assurance, while Aya Muse’s streamlined knits and fluid skirts form an elegant uniform for the office, city days and whatever comes after. Matching sets remove the morning guesswork, but never the personality.

For a stronger statement, Vivienne Westwood’s asymmetric cuts and subversive tailoring make polished dressing feel far less obedient. Magda Butrym brings romance with an edge through sculpted silhouettes and feminine detailing, while Rotate delivers the kind of confident occasionwear that makes you want to invent somewhere to wear it.

Together, these designers capture the thinking behind our new campaign: clothes should do more than look good. They should make you feel composed, distinctive and ready for the day ahead.

Wear each look exactly as its designer intended, or separate the pieces into your existing wardrobe. A sculptural skirt with a white shirt, a sharp jacket with denim, or a matching set worn in full. Dressing with intent is ultimately about choosing better and wearing it with conviction.
