The idea that we are already long past the halfway point of the month of July and hence, the year is always a jarring sentiment, but if anything is going to make us feel better as we hurtle towards 2023, it's that the quicker July passes, the closer we are to spring. This month for our luxury fashion favourites, we are finally succumbing to the cold. Particularly because there is no longer any way to escape it.

This means leaning into padded jackets and fleecy hoodies like the below from Balenciaga with a slogan that rings rather true these days, alongside padded jackets and vests from Miu Miu and Acne Studios. Astrology in the form of knitwear takes shape in Dior's Lucky Dior collection, just in time for Leo season. For bottoms, it's about patchwork leather from Marine Serre and silky boxer shorts via Celine.

Staples are updated with belts from Bottega Veneta, bags from Jil Sander and Valentino, and classic sunglasses from Oliver Peoples. This month, we're playing with shapes, colours, and textures to try and bring some brightness back into our wardrobes while we wait out the final six weeks of winter. Happy browsing.
