Most Wanted

The beauty of a white dress (aside from being undeniably chic, of course) is its versatility. The crisp, clean lines of Khaite’s ‘Avery’ style, for instance, will see you through the final weeks of summer when paired with sandals and raffia accessories, then transition seamlessly into fall with some smart layering.

“There’s something about Khaite’s maxi dress that immediately makes me think of the ’90s, one of my favorite decades for fashion,” says NET-A-PORTER’s shopping editor, Viktorija Tomasevic. “I’ll be channeling icons from the era, like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Kate Moss, by styling mine with ballet flats (I love this red pair by The Row), adding an oversized blazer or trench coat come September, which is when it starts to get a little cooler in London,” she adds. Heading to an event? Simply swap your flats for heels and finish with a rose-tinted lip.

Next, you’ll need a timeless day-to-night bag to complete your look, and Saint Laurent’s ‘Le 5 à 7’ tote more than fits the bill. It’s crafted from supple brown suede in a softly structured shape and will easily fit your wallet, sunglasses and cosmetics case. Treat yours with a good suede protector to keep scuffs and watermarks at bay, and it will last you for seasons to come.

For days when you can’t be prized away from your go-to jeans but still want to look put together, reach for Co’s boxy cotton-poplin shirt. Its cornflower-blue shade is set to be huge for fall and will work with any wash of denim, including Agolde’s deep-indigo ‘Low Curve’ pair from our NET SUSTAIN edit. Since the rest of your outfit will be relatively pared-back, you’re free to play with shoes and accessories. Hunting Season’s ‘The Choker’ necklace – a NET-A-PORTER exclusive – is strung with summery tagua beads and will elevate simple tees and slip dresses, too. Finally, slip on Saint Laurent Eyewear’s ‘Vesper’ sunglasses and you’re all set for the weekend.
