Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
If you’re looking for an 18-hour dress that takes you from alfresco events to evening soirées with ease, consider Esse Studios’ ‘Linka’ style. The lustrous, 100% silk-twill fabric has a dressed-up feel that’s perfect for a wedding or an evening at the theater, while the twisted front and side-cutout detailing add shape. Maya Gunavardhana, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion assistant, describes it as an embodiment of Esse Studios’ ethos. “It’s a timeless, modern and elegant maxi dress. The stunning geometric print and Grecian-inspired silhouette ensures you will glide into any room with confidence,” she says. “Match the tonal-brown hues with Gianvito Rossi’s slingback pumps in chocolate-brown leather – the pointed toe will add beautiful structure to the ruched fabric of the dress – then complete the look with Toteme’s chic ‘T-Lock’ shoulder bag in a fresh creamy hue and By Pariah’s pretty diamond hoops.”
For those who prefer the relaxed refinement of oversized tailoring, The Row’s ‘Flash’ shorts are a must-have for trans-seasonal dressing. A NET-A-PORTER exclusive, they are cut from 77% wool blended with silk, offering warmth on cooler days if styled with a fine-knit cashmere sweater. When wearing yours to work, pair with Ralph Lauren Collection’s sophisticated striped shirt – a foundation piece of any capsule closet – then finish the look with Valentino Garavani’s glossy ballet flats and an upgraded work tote from Loewe. For after dark, swap your button-up for a sleek black tank top, tonal heels and a metallic clutch.
Chic beach style begins with an elegant swimsuit, and you can’t go wrong with Haight’s ‘Jen’ one-piece, which is part of our NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted designs and locally made in Rio, Brazil. It’s inspired by a ballet leotard with high-cut legs to elongate the silhouette, an under-band for a subtle lift to the bust, and soft crepe fabric that has enough polish to take you from poolside to lunch. All you need is a tonal pareo, leather sandals and a dainty gold necklace. We love the ’70s feel of Fernando Jorge’s ‘Ultra Stretched Double Links’ design in 18-karat gold, which sits neatly on the collarbone.
