Chloé is a house that has been historically led by women (almost all of its creative directors have been female), and they’ve all left an indelible mark on the brand’s design codes. Continuing their legacy of beautiful yet functional clothes is Chemena Kamali, whose Pre-Fall ’24 collection is as much about versatility as it is romance.

Cut from weightless silk-georgette with a floaty handkerchief hem, this skirt from NET-A-PORTER’s exclusive edit will work for all kinds of events and occasions with the right styling. Wear it on vacation with Rabanne’s beaded open-knit tank and Toteme’s croc-effect leather flip flops (another NET-A-PORTER exclusive) – or an oversized blazer and kitten heels when you’re back in the city.

Continuing the theme for day-to-night summer wardrobe heroes is Khaite’s ‘Hencil’ midi dress. “I’m a firm believer that there’s a knitted dress out there for everyone,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Haajira Muzzamil, who has the New York label’s elegant A-line style firmly at the top of her wish list. “It’s a must-have for summer because not only is it effortless and supremely comfortable, but it can also be easily dressed up or down, depending on your plans,” she adds. Designed for a close fit through the bodice before falling to a softly pleated skirt, it has a slightly sheer finish that can be tempered with a tonal bodysuit or slip and comes in a gorgeous ‘Espresso’ hue. Complement the deep-brown shade with Le Monde Béryl’s patent-leather ‘Stella’ ballet flats in fresh cream, and add Jil Sander’s aptly named ‘All-Day’ bag for a welcome pop of red.

To finish, choose delicate yet distinctive jewelry, which will add personality to your look. Handcrafted in Los Angeles, Andrea Fohrman’s earrings are made from 14-karat rose gold that complements every complexion, and set with luminous green moonstones surrounded by twinkling diamonds.
