Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
The start of June marks a clear reminder in our diaries to seek out sunshine-ready and office-appropriate pieces that will see us through the working week in the warmer months. Another Tomorrow’s linen shirt is the perfect swap for the knitwear we’ve had on heavy rotation. Cut from a breezy linen to help you keep your cool (even on your commute), it comes with three-quarter-length sleeves in a sky blue. Trade your trusty wide-leg tailored pants for Proenza Schouler’s knee-length ‘Jenny’ shorts, and your 9-to-5 loafers for Loewe’s ‘Campo’ leather sandals – the cutout design lends an airy feel, while the partially closed toe ensures the overall look remains polished if you’re in the office.
When it comes to summer events, Emilia Wickstead can always be relied upon for effortlessly elegant dresses that easily transition from day to night. Our editorial stylist Annie Hertikova has her eye on the London-based designer’s striking pleated midi, which is a NET-A-PORTER exclusive. “If you want to make a statement but still look sophisticated, look no further than Emilia Wickstead’s ‘Galen’ dress,” says Hertikova. “The raspberry-red works well on all skin tones, while the shape is timeless and flattering, making it an investment you will turn to year after year. I’d style it with ballet flats by day, then elevate it with strappy sandals, such as Tom Ford’s sleek tan-colored style, and statement gold earrings from Greek brand The YSSO for summer weddings.”
The ultimate finishing touch to any summer look is, of course, a chic pair of sunglasses – and the Prada Eyewear black cat-eye style are a classic yet contemporary choice. Pop them into your work bag – we love Gucci’s vintage-feel ‘Ophidia’ shoulder bag – to slip on before heading to after-work dinners on a sun-dappled terrace.
