As we ease into spring and swap hardworking outerwear for lighter layers, cool cotton and denim pieces become must-haves for seeing you through the season. For a fresh take on SS23’s double-denim look, consider Chloé’s mindfully made lace-up shirt. Cut from cream-colored denim that’s blended with 87% recycled cotton and hemp, its relaxed fit is a nod to ’70s insouciance. Pair with Dries Van Noten’s tailored wide-leg jeans and Manolo Blahnik’s sleek leather loafers for the perfect blend of considered and casual style. To complete you work-to-weekend wardrobe, reach for Neous’ ‘Sigma’ bag; the capacious bucket style can fit essentials as well as a makeup pouch and paperback, and the sleek design easily transitions to evening.

When packing for a weekend away, look to La DoubleJ for the ultimate vacation dress. The brand’s ‘Bellini’ maxi is cut from breezy cotton-poplin that’s ideal for exploring tropical locales. The vibrant-orange vertical stripes elongate the frame, while the self-tie belt ensures a flattering fit. Maya Gunavardhana, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion assistant, describes it as an elevated choice for easy summer style. “There’s nothing like a piece from La DoubleJ to get you into the mood for SS23,” she says. “Well known for taking inspiration from traditional Italian culture, the brand’s expressive use of pattern and color really captures the joy of sun-filled days. I would style it with The Row’s chic leather sandals, oversized sunglasses and Savette’s supple brown leather bag (a NET-A-PORTER exclusive).”

With Easter around the corner, share the celebratory feeling with a thoughtful gift by Loewe Home Scents. The brand’s delicate scented blend of white chocolate, cream and vanilla take the form of an uplifting bunny-shaped candle, which is also a nod to the Year of the Rabbit. If you’re seeking a piece of jewelry to gift a loved one, Foundrae’s ‘Amate’ ring is a beautiful choice. It’s made from lustrous 18-karat gold that’s inlaid with glossy white enamel, and the style name is Italian for ‘beloved’.
