The PORTER offices, based in London and New York, are experiencing a cold snap. Whether or not the sun is making an appearance where you are, take matters into your own hands and inject a little sartorial sunshine into your look with joyful neon brights. Our winning piece this week is Roksanda’s fuchsia taffeta gown, which the Serbian designer teamed with slouchy, oversized boots for her spring/summer 2020 runway show.

The structural, sunray-like pleats remind us of an origami bird, meaning we can’t think of a garment more suited to gliding through daily life in. We recommend pairing it with Jacquemus’ tangerine-and-cobalt-colored sandals for a bold, color-blocked effect (the sandals also come in white if you’re seeking a more subdued contrast).

For a subtler take on mood-enhancing style, consider Rejina Pyo’s mint-green linen midi dress for a refreshing hit of understated color. The London-based designer styled it with knee-high boots on the SS20 runway – follow her lead and pair it with Isabel Marant’s Western-inflected boots or, for more formal occasions, those Jacquemus’ sandals are the gift that keeps on giving.

On colder days, Isabel Marant’s yellow and cream zebra-print wool jacket is reinforced with a cozy quilted lining that belies its vibrant, summer-ready aesthetic. Cut for an oversized fit, it’s perfect for pairing with dark denim and combat boots for a cool off-duty look.

Come heatwave or snowstorm, nothing adds a glow to your look quite like chunky gold jewelry. Lauren Rubinski’s stackable chain-linked pieces have already been spotted on Kate Moss and Hailey Bieber, while Rasa x Anna Beck’s gold-plated earrings are speckled with quartz stones that lend a little night-time glamour to any look.
