How To Wear Black All Summer Long

When navigating warm-weather dressing in the city, a breezy midi dress from Matteau offers a stylish solution – it has a strapless bodice and flows into a soft, swishy silhouette. Wear it to a town hall wedding or party with Aeyde’s kitten-heeled leather sandals and Savette’s woven raffia ‘Symmetry’ bag – the compact size will easily hold your phone, keys and sunglasses.

To nail sleek vacation style, pair Alaïa’s gathered cotton-poplin bralette with Róhe’s crinkled satin midi skirt – the knotted waist creates an effortless pareo-inspired shape that works beautifully in seaside settings. Complete your look with sunglasses from Miu Miu Eyewear and Valesque’s ‘Thea’ tote. New to NET-A-PORTER, the latter brand’s satin-shell accessories exude easy elegance.

The key to dressing for the office in the midst of a heatwave is to choose pieces that’ll keep you cool but still look polished in a professional setting. From our NET-A-PORTER edit, Liberowe’s crocheted co-ord nails the brief – the boxy ‘Harper’ shirt and sleek ‘Remi’ skirt are both intricately detailed with scalloped edges and look as chic worn apart with other separates as they do together. Style yours with Alaïa’s ‘Tong’ wedge sandals in glossy patent-leather and Khaite’s elongated ‘Donna’ clutch.
