Most Wanted
A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
With temperatures creeping up and the best of the SS22 collections slowly trickling in, our attention this week turns to summer-vacation dressing – and the all-important question of what to pack. While floaty white dresses, lightweight linen shorts and barely-there black sandals will forever remain suitcase staples – and are guaranteed to see you through many a trip – the prospect of a much-needed sun-soaked getaway also has us tempted to dive headfirst into the maximalism trend.
If you’re feeling especially confident this season, allow yourself to embrace high-impact poolside dressing with show-stopping prints and amped-up colorways. Top of our list is this cool woven shirt from the cult Loewe Paula’s Ibiza collaboration, which is sure to turn heads at the cabana – and has unsurprisingly caught the eye of head of fashion content, Gillian Brett. “When I go on vacation, my beach-bag essentials include a great book and a gorgeous shirt to throw on over my bikini once the sun starts to set,” she says. “This floral printed version is exactly the kind of brightly colored style that I can tuck into denim cut-offs for lunches, and even wear with tailored pants on summer evenings.”
Come dusk, slip into an alluring yet sophisticated silhouette that will show off newly sun-kissed skin with this fringed crocheted mini dress by fashion-editor favorite JW Anderson. Ready to be taken for a spin on the dance floor, it will pair perfectly with Malone Souliers’ glamorous, gold-toned sandals. Meanwhile, daytime exploring calls for comfort above all else, which is why we’ll making room in our luggage for Tom Ford’s wear-with-anything black combat pants and timeless raffia slides by Porte & Paire.
In the realm of accessories, there’s just as much to pore over. Saint Laurent’s now-iconic streamlined ‘Le 5 a 7’ has landed in a delectable and sure-to-sell-out shade of sage green, while on the other end of the sartorial spectrum, you’ll find Loewe’s bohemian leather-trimmed basket bag, which will lend a laid-back ease to more polished outfits. For the finishing touches, simply add a chunky signet ring by go-to jewelry designer Sophie Buhai and throw on some statement sunglasses – this tortoiseshell pair comes courtesy of new-to-NET-A-PORTER brand Velvet Canyon, and has us buzzing to see what else the Australian eyewear label has in store.
