A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
When sun-soaked days turn into balmy evenings, Petar Petrov’s ‘Casino’ dress delivers alfresco elegance with ease. Cut from lustrous copper-colored silk-satin and black chiffon that sinuously drapes your silhouette, the body-skimming fabric combines with a striking two-tone design for understated glamour. Wear yours with a chic pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses by Loewe Eyewear for daytime café-and-bookstore lounging, then finish the look with sandals and a tonal bag by The Row. To style the dress for after-dark occasions, take note from Kristen Neillie, NET-A-PORTER’s junior fashion editor, who describes it as perfect for an event. “The simplicity of the back detail and cut of this dress feels sophisticated. Additionally, I love the playful draped train, which is ideal for swirling around on the dance floor while still looking elegant. Pair with chunky gold jewelry to keep your look feeling fresh – I love the ‘Chubby Baby Lock’ necklace by Marla Aaron, a brand that has recently launched at NET-A-PORTER.”
Elevated vacation style requires versatile pieces with maximum mileage, which is why you can’t go wrong with a classic one-piece, tailored shorts and leather sandals. Sporty & Rich’s high-cut, red ‘Carla’ swimsuit references defining styles of the 1990s and is guaranteed to become a go-to on weekend getaways, while Gucci’s cutout slides are modeled from archival ’70s designs, adding a refined and retro feel to poolside looks. Your finishing touch? The Frankie Shop’s crepe de chine ‘Vivian’ shorts. The long-line fit, sharp pleats and high-rise waist add polish to the overall outfit, reflecting the cool insouciance of Italian summertime.
Breezy crepe shorts are not only an elegant off-duty option, but also a summer-workwear and evening staple with the right styling. For the office, wear with an oversized white shirt, cream-colored blazer and tonal loafers, while Khaite’s crystal-embellished ‘Marcy’ ballet flats are perfect for slipping on after work. Simply pair with a tank top and Paco Rabanne’s chainmail bag for a dressed-up feel, then finish the look with white-gold diamond jewelry by Suzanne Kalan.
