Relaxing weekends away require timeless looks with effortless polish. There’s nothing more luxurious than an expertly tailored closet classic that will last for many years to come, and one such piece is Ralph Lauren Collection’s ‘Adrien’ cotton shirt. Featuring a relaxed fit and pretty pearlescent buttons, it is the quintessential wear-with-everything white shirt, and looks particularly sleek styled with Tibi’s ‘Murray’ wide-leg jeans. Connie Parkinson, NET-A-PORTER’s shopping assistant, describes it as a versatile staple with endless styling potential.

“White shirting has been reimagined every which way, but for me, nothing beats a classic silhouette,” says Parkinson. “A foundational staple, this crisp cotton shirt from Ralph Lauren Collection works for the office, evening drinks or coffee at the weekend. For a cooler take on a cover-up, I would throw it over a bikini, such as Bottega Veneta’s seersucker set, and add the label’s fun, cat-eye sunglasses for an extra pop of color on beach days.” Complete the look with JW Anderson’s quilted leather slides and Alaïa’s straw tote, which is encased in a leather harness, creating the perfect blend of cool and classic.

When a leisurely beach day turns into dancing until dawn, wearing a buzzy new designer will guarantee a sartorial statement. Alix Pinho’s crocheted resortwear is handcrafted in Brazil, saturated with the vibrant colors of the tropics and inspired by the playful spirit of a summer vacation. The bohemian, scalloped hem of the label’s ‘Love Square’ mini dress gives it a vintage feel, while the crochet knit lends a subtle sexiness. Pair with simple leather sandals and minimal jewelry to let the vibrant rainbow pattern take center stage.
