We may be just weeks away from the ‘official’ start of summer in the northern hemisphere, but, let’s be honest, the weather doesn’t always play ball. Here at NET-A-PORTER’s London HQ, we’re taking solace in the fact that changeable weather (hello, summer showers) means we can continue to lean on those brilliant all-season wardrobe essentials. These are the investment pieces with a price-per-wear value that will keep your accountant happy. Take The Row’s cotton-corduroy shirt, which is a welcome layer when the sun slips behind a cloud and will continue to serve you well come fall and winter. “When it comes to The Row, you never have to do too much; the brand always delivers timeless pieces that can make their way into any wardrobe,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Haajira Muzzamil. “Although corduroy isn’t an obvious summer texture, The Row’s chocolate-brown ‘Nesson’ shirt, layered with James Perse’s light-pink tank top, can be the perfect cover-up on a breezy summer’s day.”

Indeed, the beauty of these classic investment pieces is that, come summer, we can simply zhuzh things up with a little color. “The Row often opts for neutrals, which leaves room for a pop of color to complete your look – Dinosaur Designs’ red ‘Dew Drop’ earrings are a great finishing touch,” says Muzzamil. Add the brand’s cotton-twill wide-leg pants in taupe and Alaïa’s fishnet mules and you’ve nailed your summer-in-the-city look.

Another easy way to give your go-to pieces a seasonal spin is with trending accessories. Boho is back, but in a more grown-up guise this summer, and The Row has created an uber-chic, slouchy suede shoulder bag that subtly nods to the look. Add Jimmy Choo’s ‘Ayla’ suede sandals and By Pariah’s pretty, gold-plated diamond bracelet from our NET SUSTAIN edit to nail boho 2.0. Whether the sun chooses to show up or not, we all know that sunglasses make everything look infinitely cooler. Celine Eyewear’s square-frame tortoiseshell style is a classic that features the IYKYK ‘three dots’ at the front and temples.
