If, like us, you’ve felt a gentle, nudging sense of wanderlust creeping in, it can only mean one thing: Summer is upon us. We’re currently refining our summer wardrobes with the sunnier days and balmy evenings in mind, and more specifically, we’re carefully planning what to pack for a well-earned trip. Scrolling through Instagram has given us a whole host of inspiration for where to go on our summer travels, but just as important as settling on the location is narrowing down an extensive wardrobe to a concise capsule of summer essentials. Thanks to NET-A-PORTER, the job just got a whole lot easier.
NET-A-PORTER’s NET SUSTAIN initiative is a specially curated edit of consciously crafted fashion and accessories, so you can shop some of your favourite brands knowing that they have met NET-A-PORTER’s ethical criteria. Whether locally made, recycled, cruelty-free or produced with a significantly reduced environmental impact, this is the shopping edit that both looks good and does good.
Amongst the mix of well-established designers like Zimmermann and Stella McCartney are new brands like Caes and Deiji Studios, and we’ve searched through the newly updated drop of over 1000 items to bring you the ultimate holiday edit, with everything from sunglasses to swimwear to shorts to summer dresses. Scroll on to solve your wardrobe worries with a concise capsule of everything you’ll need this season.
Light and airy dresses are synonymous with summer. This instant outfit not only keeps you cool, but it looks good while doing it. The archetypal summer dress is a mix of mood-boosting colour, breathable fabric, and a classic shape you’ll want to want to wear time and time again. So consider these striking dresses worth the investment.
No summer wardrobe is complete without a selection of linen dresses, tops, shorts or trousers to mix and match in the heat. So stay cool with these textured pieces, which are designed with comfort in mind and guaranteed to rekindle a love for linen.
Between striped, denim, cotton and lace options, there’s a style of shorts for everyone to enjoy this bare-legged season. Whether you pair them with a chunky sandal on the beach or a strappy sandal in the city, now is the time to make the most of that free-spirited summer feeling.
Dive into a colourful edit of swimwear that looks good both in and out of the pool. Expect halterneck, triangle and bandeau bikinis as well as some one-piece swimsuits that we’d wear under wide-leg trousers or midi skirts to go straight from the pool to dinner.
Whether you’re at home or on holiday, no outfit is complete without the finishing touches: accessories. From oversized sunnies to the sandal brands to know about, these are the pieces to buy to elevate your summer look.
