Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
When you’re in need of a summer look that delivers alfresco polish, you can’t go wrong with a slip dress, sandals and sunglasses. LA brand Frame’s much-anticipated collaboration with British Vogue fashion director Julia Sarr-Jamois is designed for stylish getaways and warm city breaks, and hits the ‘relaxed elegance’ nail on the head. This tie-dye midi dress, for example, is cut from luxe 100% silk-chiffon that delivers a slinky silhouette, while the swirling print reflects the leisurely feel of balmy beach days. Charlotte Wisdom, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion editor, describes it as the perfect piece for a vacation: “It’s beautifully lightweight and a great choice for transitional dressing,” she says.
“For a cooler evening, I would wear this midi dress with an oversized blazer, and style it with flats during the day. The print is ideal for neutral accessories, but if you prefer to dress it up for a bolder look, try pairing the dress with a green bag or shoe for a fresh summer aesthetic.” When styling a statement print, the key is to choose accessories that speak to a few shades in the color palette. Alexander McQueen’s ‘Jewelled’ leather tote, which is available exclusively at NET-A-PORTER, comes in an insider-approved shade of emerald green that enlivens the tie-dye print, while Bottega Veneta’s army-green sandals and Loewe Paula’s Ibiza’s tortoiseshell sunglasses complement the relaxed, earthy tones.
For a weekend spent exploring a new city, look to The Row for easy-to-style pieces that are understated and elevated. The brand’s ‘Vega’ wool vest is a refined choice for daytime and makes an ideal pairing for Goldsign’s tailored wide-leg jeans. Complete the look with The Row’s ’90s-inspired ‘Half Moon’ shoulder bag and the brand’s simple black leather flip flops – both NET-A-PORTER exclusives. Punctuate the monochrome palette with gold jewelry – we love Cartier’s iconic ‘Panthère de Cartier’ watch for a touch of glamour.
