A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Summer-in-the-city style calls for elevated, coordinated sets and colorful swimwear made for long, sunshine-filled days. Whether lounging poolside or visiting an exciting new restaurant, we’re seeking outfits that are as versatile as our social calendars. To add a playful touch to a classic look, pair expertly tailored separates with vibrant, textured details. One such colorful piece is Ganni’s rainbow-crocheted bikini. Abbi Minchin, NET-A-PORTER’s junior market editor, describes it as the perfect choice to take her from a morning swim to a chic afternoon lunch.
“Crochet was one of the biggest trends on the SS22 runways, with fashion houses from Chloé to Loewe weaving – no pun intended – this fabrication into their collections, and this design detail continued into the high-summer season,” says Minchin. “This Ganni two-piece is both functional and playful in its design and cropped-top silhouette. Most importantly, though, it can double up as a top, which for me is the key to great swimwear. Pared back with a shirt-and-shorts set for the beach bar or styled with Proenza Schouler’s pleated, high-waisted pants and a denim vest by Chloé for an easy summertime lunch, the options are endless. Thankfully, with its plethora of colors, accessory options are multiplied ten-fold. I would add a pop of yellow or blue with my sunglasses for day, and heels by night.”
Speaking of which, colorful dressers will swoon at the new offerings from Loewe and Amina Muaddi that embody the uplifting energy of the peak-summer season. Designed by JW Anderson, Loewe’s ‘Bracelet’ shoulder bag is crafted from soft, pleated leather in a fresh, lemon-yellow color. It features an innovative gold clasp at each end of the bag that can be secured around your wrist like a bonus piece of statement jewelry. For the quintessential party shoe, look to Amina Muaddi’s signature hourglass heel. The label’s cult ‘Lupita’ PVC mules have been reimagined in an energizing cobalt blue – perfect for dancing the night away.
As for some coveted finishing touches, in collaboration with Linda Farrow, The Attico has convinced us that every season is sunglasses season with timeless silhouettes like ‘Marfa’, which add understated cool to any outfit; while Saint Laurent’s ‘Manhattan’ bag is made from leather and canvas, offering an effortless balance between luxury and leisure.
