Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical destination or manifesting warmer weather with your style choices, a mini dress is key – and Siedrés’ ‘Dily’ style is sartorial sunshine. Bold, expressive and effortlessly elegant, it’s made from slinky cotton-blend georgette in an asymmetric silhouette and printed with earthy-toned ombré stripes evocative of a Mediterranean landscape. It’s the perfect day-to-night style – from seaside strolls to golden-hour sundowners. Plus, it’ll take up minimal space in your suitcase, leaving plenty of room for other vacation essentials (and prized souvenirs picked up on your travels).

“This dress by Siedrés is at the top of my wish list for its whimsical shape and bold, fun design. It’ll easily take you from beach club to evening dinner, with the tie-scarf detail exuding effortless glamour,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Millie Parry. “I’d style mine with Loewe Paula’s Ibiza’s raffia tote during the day and wear it as a top with Alaïa’s indigo jeans and Gianvito Rossi’s metallic sandals on summer nights.” Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, Alaïa’s wide-leg style – from its FW24 show – come in a trending barrel shape and have breezy split sides, making them perfect for alfresco events, both at home and away.

Of course, no warm-weather edit is complete without swimwear – whether poolside or relaxing on the beach. Colombian label Johanna Ortiz’s ‘Ashaninka' one-piece in olive-green is a chic choice. It has contrasting white piping that frames cutouts at the front and back, and adjustable halterneck straps tipped with playful tassels.

To round off the ultimate vacation capsule, choose a pair of minimalist sandals, such as Amanu’s glossy croc-effect ‘Kibera’ style (another NET-A-PORTER exclusive) from our NET SUSTAIN edit, and jewelry to match the gleaming gold-tone hardware – Marie Lichtenberg’s ‘Love is Blind’ locket hits the sweet spot between beachy boho chic and everyday polish.
