As our vacation plans take shape, the day-to-night dress is a must-have in any fashion insider’s suitcase, and the best come in timeless silhouettes and luxe fabrics. Jason Wu’s tie-dyed slip dress captures the playful spirit of balmy days in the sunshine, while the 100%-silk fabric is easy to dress up for dinner alfresco – all you need is gold jewels and tonal accessories. Abbi Minchin, NET-A-PORTER’s junior market editor, describes it as an effortless choice for chic summer style. “I am currently on the hunt for pieces to add to my vacation wardrobe, and easy slip dresses are at the top of the list. My favorite combination is a maxi length with strappy details – enough to show off a sun-kissed glow, while still providing some coverage.”

“Raffia bags are a mainstay in my wardrobe when the sun comes out, and Jacquemus’s gorgeous bucket style is the ideal companion for a dinner by the coast,” says Minchin. “I would pair this look with minimalist strappy sandals that match the leather on the bag, and simple jewelry from two of my go-to brands – Foundrae and Mateo.”

When a date with the seaside calls, look to Eres for a bikini that seamlessly fits into your off-duty wardrobe. The ‘Samba’ style is a NET-A-PORTER exclusive that’s cut from a supportive sculpting fabric with chic nautical stripes. Complement the oceanic palette with Toteme’s GOTS-certified organic denim shorts, the long-line fit of which looks at once relaxed and elevated. Molly Goddard’s breezy ‘Katie’ top is perfect for finishing this look, as the ruched taffeta fabric adds a delicate contrast to the hardworking denim.

More time spent outside means our edit of sandals and flats needs a new-season refresh, too. Enter A Emery for a refined gladiator style that is perfect poolside, and equally elegant for off-duty days in the city. Meanwhile, Loeffler Randall always delivers on dainty shoes you want to wear everywhere. Its ‘Leonie’ ballet flats are made from pretty camel-colored tulle that is dotted with light-catching crystals for a glamorous detail.
