As we enter into autumn, we rely even more on our wardrobe staples. Gone are the summer days of throwing on a dress and slipping into sandals before heading out, because autumn requires more consideration. Clever layering takes centre stage in cooler weather, which becomes much easier with great basics to rely on. Seasonal fabrics also come into their own, with wools and leathers returning to our wardrobes after a months-long hiatus. There's one brand poised to support any wardrobe through the changing seasons, and that's Raey.
Exclusive to MATCHES, Raey has carved out a distinct brand identity that encompasses refined styles in high-quality fabrics and interesting silhouettes. Proportional play adds a directional feel, whilst the classic hues and timeless designs ensure each piece is ready to retain its place within your wardrobe for years to come.
For autumn/winter 2023, Raey's collection celebrates the cornerstones of a long-lasting wardrobe. Refined knitwear comes in playful, oversized silhouettes, timeless neutrals and luxurious fabrics of Merino wool and cashmere. The focus on knitwear travels through jumpers and dresses alike—pieces that can be elevated from day to night by a simple swap of your shoes. For outerwear, Raey has outdone itself, taking iconic styles such as the puffer coat and leather jacket and adding an edge through utilitarian details and playful oversizing.
There are nods throughout to Raey's fashion insight. Jeans have been widened to tap into the wide-leg silhouette that remains at the forefront in fashion circles, and maxi hemlines in classic denims and fluid wools have the staying power to ensure they'll last well beyond changing trends. One aspect that Raey continually excels at is tailoring, and for the new season there's an array of standout styles. Tux blazers have been added, with identifiable satin lapels that add an elevated, evening feel that will be particularly key for events and parties over the next few months. For a finishing edge, belting details tie in with the play on proportions and silhouettes that the brand is known for.
