With summer just around the corner, finding an outfit that’s chic and comfortable enough for all the alfresco occasions filling your diary – from beach weddings and garden parties to sunset soirees – is essential. For NET-A-PORTER’s buying editor, Abbi Minchin, a knitted maxi dress ticks all the boxes. “Although knitwear doesn’t necessarily scream summer, it can be the perfect texture to complement any look when done right,” she says. “Zimmermann’s ‘Lucky’ maxi from our NET SUSTAIN edit is the perfect day-to-night option, with the metallic shimmer adding a touch of glamour. The stretchy fabric means it is incredibly flattering as well.”

Detailed with pretty shoulder ties and a lightly pleated skirt, a floor-sweeping style like this calls for heels, and Gianvito Rossi’s raffia ‘Calypso’ sandals are the perfect pick. Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, they will add polish to your look but can easily be kicked off for photographs on the beach or late-night dancing. “For those of us who prefer neutrals, accessories are a great way to incorporate color into an outfit, and I’m obsessed with the sky-blue shade of Bottega Veneta’s supple ‘Lauren 1980’ clutch, which is also exclusive to NET-A-PORTER and a gorgeous complement to deep chocolate-brown tones,” adds Minchin. The timelessness of the design means you can also wear it on weekends, dressed down with denim, or to the office with tailoring, too.

Speaking of tailoring, there will be plenty on display at this year’s Met Gala, which takes place in New York on Monday night, with guests expected to grace the red carpet in custom suiting that honors the ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ theme. Get into the spirit by adding one or two new tailored pieces to your summer workwear rotation, like The Row’s ‘Nesson’ shirt in organic cotton-poplin. The classic shape and refined stripes make it perfect for the office, especially when paired with Another Tomorrow’s organic cotton-blend twill pants from our NET SUSTAIN edit. Complete your look with loafers or K Jacques St Tropez’s’ tan ‘Anaelle’ sandals – handmade from leather using an impressive 46-step process – and delicate gold jewelry.
