Delicate sparkling details can transform even the most casual summer outfit into a directional look with enviable polish. When adorning yourself with the finest jewels, choose pieces that complement your skin and provide a boost of joy, too. The enamel inscription on Marlo Laz’s 14-karat gold ‘Wee Porte Bonheur Coin’ necklace translates to ‘lucky charm’ and features a dainty emerald. Enhance your good fortune with Gucci’s ‘Jackie 1961’ handbag in a complementary shade of green; its elegant gold-tone piston clasp will offset gold jewelry perfectly. And the vibrant colors of your jewels and bag will shine brightly against the fresh canvas of Bottega Veneta’s smart shirt dress. Marquessa Whyte, NET-A-PORTER’s fashion editor, describes it as a versatile closet essential that will take you from summer to the start of fall.

“Bottega Veneta’s cotton-poplin dress is the perfect trans-seasonal wardrobe staple,” says Whyte. “I love its modern, utilitarian take on an effortlessly elegant shirt dress, with boxy cap sleeves and silver-button fastening. It’s an investment piece that will never go out of style. I would pair it with heeled mules, a tonal clutch and silver jewelry for a sophisticated look that takes you from day to night.”

A sleek black bikini is another winner on our wish list. Haight’s ‘Gabi’ bikini top is has an ultra-flattering square neckline that frames the décolleté beautifully and provides support across the bust thanks to the thick straps and stretch-crepe material. Matteau’s chic organic-cotton shirt in sunshine-ready ‘Marigold’ is the perfect cool cover-up for beachside brunches. Featuring polished pinstripes and a relaxed fit, it can easily be styled beyond the beach. Complete the look with Nili Lotan’s ‘Tilly’ shorts in breezy cotton-chambray, offering a lighter way to wear denim on hot summer days.

Comfort is key while discovering new locales, and your feet will treasure sophisticated options from Totême and Loewe. Loewe’s cult ‘Flow’ sneakers are inspired by ’70s designs, meaning they will pair perfectly with wide-leg jeans and on-trend crochet tops. Meanwhile, Totême’s croc-effect leather sandals will go with almost everything and are sure to become your warm-weather go-to.
