Your Personal Shopper Loves… Zainab Shares Her Wedding Guest Must-Haves
Get to know the top picks and styling tips of NET-A-PORTER’s Personal Shoppers, as they reveal their seasonal staples and how to wear them. Here, Zainab, from our Europe team, shares the best dresses, suits, outerwear and accessories to wear to a spring or summer wedding
Evening coats and jackets
“I love The Row. Known for its impeccable tailoring and timeless wardrobe staples, it has a varied range of minimalist coats and jackets that can be paired with most event looks. Another good option is Stella McCartney; the brand has a selection of relaxed silhouettes that are chic yet comfortable. And we can’t talk about coats without mentioning Max Mara. The brand’s use of premium fabrics and immaculate tailoring is incredible, and its wool and cashmere-blend styles are perfect for layering during spring, when the weather can be unpredictable.”
Wedding-guest dresses
“Lace, ruffles, bows, pretty prints? Zimmermann does it all. The brand excels at romantic pieces and has a beautiful selection of dresses – from floaty minis to tiered maxis – that are perfect for a summer wedding. Its pieces are super-versatile and can be dressed down for a more casual look to wear on vacation. If you love color, then Self-Portrait is the one for you; designs range from pretty pastels to bold jewel-tone hues, and you’ll be dressed to impress. To stand out from the crowd, I recommend a suit by Alexander McQueen.”
Elevated accessories
“Aquazzura’s shoes are not only beautifully crafted, but comfortable, which is hard to find in evening shoes. Plus, its collection includes many different styles that are all exceptionally glamorous. For evening bags, Cult Gaia is one of my favorite brands: its bags come in all shapes and sizes (many styles big enough to fit more than just a lip gloss). I particularly love its marbled acrylic sculptural clutch and fan-shaped, pleated leather clutch. To elevate your look, add some Swarovski-crystal hair clips from Lelet NY, which makes beautiful hair accessories.”
