Denim is the most versatile staple in anyone’s closet, offering easy day-to-night dressing no matter the season. And while indigo hues are a fail-safe option, a crisp pair of white jeans is a classic choice for the spring and summer months. Interior’s ‘Clarice’ jeans – as seen on the SS23 runway – come in a mid-rise, straight-leg fit that looks particularly cool on casual, sunny days in the city. Wear yours with a simple tank top – we love Officine Générale’s dark-brown ‘Esra’ style that’s cut from cotton blended with 50% Tencel, a soft, plant-based fabric made from wood and cellulose. To complete the look, add a dressed-up feel with Khaite’s ‘The Linden’ sandals, which are just as divine for daytime events as they are for after dark.

On tricky trans-seasonal days when there’s still a chill in the air, Jacquemus ‘Palha’ blazer is an ideal lightweight layer to elevate your look with precise tailoring. Georgina Lucas, NET-A-PORTER’s acting head of fashion content, describes it as a fresh take on this closet must-have. “A warm-weather blazer is a great investment piece, and this impeccably crafted design is imbued with Jacquemus’ signature South of France sensibility,” she says. “The lacing along the back is pure artistry, and the brilliance of a piece this beautiful is that it requires very little in the way of styling. Instantly elevating wide-leg denim, it will look elegant over tailored shorts or a slinky ’90s slip dress for a season of summer events.”

Whether you’re heading to a far-flung destination or planning a staycation by the coast, the right accessories can instantly transport you to a tropical locale. Saint Laurent’s ‘Panier’ tote, for example, is perfect for summer. The bucket style and woven raffia finish are reminiscent of Jane Birkin’s iconic basket bags of the 1960s – all you need is a pair of sunglasses, a swimsuit and sandals for a day by the water. Then, for dinner alfresco, swap your everyday earrings for Mateo’s ‘Large Dot’ hoops. Handcrafted from 14-karat gold, they are dotted with the brand’s signature pearls to add a luxurious feel to the most casual vacation look.
