A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Whether you’re attending a wedding, gala or garden party, you can always depend on florals for summer occasions – especially when adorning a dreamy dress. One of our favourites this season is Zimmermann’s ‘Golden’ maxi, which is patterned with pretty, soft-pink blooms that come to life in outdoor settings. “The ultra-feminine cut of this style complements the romantic floral print perfectly, and I adore the skinny belt detail,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Connie Daw, who suggests wearing it from day to night simply by switching flats for a pair of strappy heels. Complete an elegant ensemble with Valextra’s mini ‘Iside’ tote – the structured top-handle shape and raffia frame nod to chic mid-century styles, while the textured-leather trims add a refined finish.
If you’re attending a destination event, you’ll need a few staple pieces to see you through the trip. Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, Tove’s linen-blend twill ‘Ruby’ top is gathered at the bodice and boned throughout, creating the most beautiful peplum shape. Wear it with an A-line maxi skirt and heels for welcome drinks, then again after the festivities with Agolde’s relaxed, wide-leg denim shorts and simple sandals – the barely-there silhouette of Emme Parsons’ ‘Hope’ pair means they’ll go with all your favorite summer outfits.
“While I’ll always have a soft spot for minimal accessories, I’m trying to introduce more color into my wardrobe, and the rich cognac shade of Khaite’s ‘Bridget’ bag is a happy medium – it’s vibrant enough to elevate pared-back looks but still timeless,” adds Daw. The cross-body style is crafted from smooth leather with a sleek gold-tone bar at the front, and has plenty of space inside for everyday essentials, including your cardholder and phone. What’s more, the strap is detachable, so you can transform it into a clutch for evening.
