The best thing about dressing for vacation is how liberating it feels. With little pressure to make plans and nothing but a sun lounger, sand and sea in sight, all you really need is swimwear, one or two cover-ups, and a few playful accessories to see you through your trip. NET-A-PORTER’s shopping assistant, Millie Parry, suggests adding Alaïa’s open-knit maxi dress to your beach lineup.

“Alaïa’s sheer, figure-skimming design is the perfect versatile style for warm-weather getaways. I’d pair it with a bright bikini at the beach and black underwear or a slip for nights spent dancing beneath the stars,” says Parry. As for styling, keep things effortless with St. Agni’s woven leather slides – part of our NET SUSTAIN edit – and your favorite jewelry. “Vacations are a time to go big with jewelry. Bangles and cuffs are back this season, and top of my wish list for elevating minimal outfits,” adds Parry.

Whatever your vacation plans, be sure to pack Loewe’s ‘Ola’ bag from its latest collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza. Crafted from raffia with a frilly fold-over top and a distinctive donut chain, it has space inside for your phone, sunglasses and passport. Plus, it’s light enough to slip inside a larger tote to keep your essentials organized in the airport.

When you arrive back in the city and have a sweltering commute to contend with but need to look polished for a day of meetings and post-work events, the trick is to choose separates in lightweight fabrics and easy shapes. First seen on the FW25 runway in New York, Altuzarra’s romantic ‘Linnie’ skirt is cut from sheer silk-organza (layered up to ensure a demure final effect) and comes in the prettiest shade of pink. Wear it to the office with Max Mara’s ‘Fornovo’ vest in soft white jersey, along with polished ballet flats and a structured tote, such Toteme’s cult ‘T-Lock’ style in a new woven-leather finish, to complete a wear-anywhere look.
