A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Lazy beach days call for as few clothes as possible, but when you do need something to slip on over swimwear – if you’re having lunch or doing a spot of sightseeing – a chic cover-up is the answer. Epitomizing effortless summer elegance, Toteme’s wrap dress from our NET SUSTAIN edit is cut from gauzy organic cotton printed with the label’s signature monogram and has slender ties at the waist, so you can adjust the coverage.
“When choosing items for vacation, the brands I love, and wear throughout the year do not tend to differ from those I pack in my suitcase – Toteme is a brand you can always rely on for a year-round assortment,” says NET-A-PORTER junior market editor Abbi Minchin. “This wrap dress is top of my wish list this season and a piece I’m sure will instantly transport me to a Greek Island or Sicily (I’m not picky!).”
To dress yours up for the evening, style with a pair of capri pants and sleek sandals: “I’m so excited for Tove’s debut into footwear. The ‘Rene’ sandals are a personal favorite and I’ll be wearing them all summer,” adds Minchin. Finally, embrace the carefree spirit of tropical destinations with a few fun accessories – Bottega Veneta’s sunset-orange clutch is the perfect way to break up the monochrome palette. “Although I tend to keep things simple in my resort wardrobe, I do believe summer is the perfect time to play around with accessories – whether that be a raffia hat, a bright bag or novelty jewelry,” says Minchin. “Newly launched at NET-A-PORTER, Tohum combines the essence of off-duty surfer with a hint of nostalgia in its ‘Concha Puka’ shell necklaces.”
Along with the perfect cover-up, you’ll need at least one bikini that’s versatile enough to mix and match with all your vacation outfits. Designed in a timeless caramel shade, Magda Butrym’s hand-crocheted triangle style is playfully embellished with beads and will look gorgeous worn poolside with oversized sunglasses and layered gold necklaces.
Lastly, the smartest beachwear investments are ones you can wear beyond vacation, and Agolde’s ‘Nolan’ shorts hit the sweet spot between low-key beach vibes and sleek city polish. Another NET SUSTAIN highlight, they’re cut from organic denim in a neatly tailored shape that makes them smart enough to wear to the office, too – just swap your bikini for a crisp shirt or the matching vest, also available at NET-A-PORTER.
