Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
With vacations on the horizon, we’re looking for easy pieces in which to waft through balmy days and nights in. Top of the list? A perfect summer dress. Seek out a silhouette that delivers effortless style and, with the right accessories, it will see you through a season of events. It’s the sort of piece that Emilia Wickstead excels at, as Abbi Minchin, NET-A-PORTER’s junior market editor, points out.
“With wedding season in full swing, and what seems like an event every weekend, I’ve been hunting for the perfect occasion dress. I love the simplicity of this Emilia Wickstead design – the cotton blend is perfect for the warmer months, and the structured bodice is flattering and sophisticated. I’ll wear it with a simple heeled sandal – Saint Laurent’s delicate slingbacks are sure to become an event-dressing go-to – and stacked gold jewelry.”
Another thing on our radar when elevated dressing is the order of the day is a beautifully cut blazer. In Gabriela Hearst’s expert hands, Chloé takes an elegant approach to tailoring. The long-line silhouette and delicate fringing on this silk design make it the perfect event-ready partner for sleek summer dresses or midi skirts, and it will dress up wide-leg pants or denim for a business lunch or gallery opening.
Of course, when it comes to finishing a look, the key lies in the accessories. You can’t go wrong with a Cartier watch – this gold and stainless-steel design from the house’s Ballon Bleu de Cartier collection will instantly add polish. Next, opt for a sprinkling of gold at the neck via Yvonne Léon’s vintage chain design, or at the ears with Alison Lou’s pear-drop statement single hoop. For a bag that delivers glitz and glamour in spades, look no further than this silver version of Balenciaga’s iconic ‘Le Cagole’, adorned with signature hardware.
