A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
Dressing appropriately for the office in summer can feel like a challenge, especially when you have humid temperatures and a hot, sticky commute to contend with. But thankfully, staying cool and put together in the heat is possible – all you need are a few beautifully tailored separates in loose, easy shapes and light fabrics. Nailing the brief is Amsterdam-based label Róhe’s crisp cotton-poplin shirt. “I love a good button-down, and this one from Róhe ticks all the boxes – slightly oversized, patterned with timeless stripes and designed in a fresh pink shade,” says NET-A-PORTER’s junior shopping editor Viktorija Tomasevic. “I’ll be wearing mine buttoned up with tailored pants for work and undone over a bikini on vacation.” Effortlessly chic, it has frayed edges and wide, knuckle-grazing cuffs that add an air of nonchalance but can easily be folded back to show off your watch or bracelet stack.
To ensure your look is polished enough for a day of business meetings and client lunches, tuck the shirt into Tove’s ‘Bella’ shorts, which are exclusive to NET-A-PORTER. They’re made from a breathable linen-blend with neatly pressed pleats, and are guaranteed to work overtime in your wardrobe this summer. While they’ll go with pretty much any style of shoe, our favorite way to wear them right now is with ballet flats – new to NET-A-PORTER, Bally’s tomato-red ‘Banya’ pair come in an elegant Mary Jane silhouette and will elevate anything you style them with.
To complete the perfect work-week rotation, add Wardrobe.NYC’s vest into the mix. Inspired by men’s suiting, it’s cut from grain de poudre wool and has a slightly cropped length for a more contemporary feel. The beauty of this piece is that you can wear it alone as a top or layered with a shirt or blazer – either way it will easily take you from appointments during the day to events in the evening. Try it with a breezy midi skirt and low-heeled mules.
As for accessories, keep them sleek and minimal to ensure your look is always office appropriate. Named after its softly ruched top, Loewe’s ‘Squeeze’ tote has a distinctive curved handle and gold-tone donut chain that nod to styles from the ’70s. To finish, add classic hoop earrings like Yvonne Léon’s 9-karat yellow and white gold pair and trusty sunglasses – Saint Laurent Eyewear’s D-frame shades are at once directional and timeless.
