Finally, it's summer—well, not quite, but since we missed out on trips over the past few years, I'm starting my holiday prep early. I'm moving away from office looks and muted colours and diving into bold, bright tones and feel-good prints. I've scoured the NET-A-PORTER website for the best hot-weather pieces that will look sleek and stylish for all kinds of adventures. Whether you're planning an island retreat or a sunny staycation, these 23 pieces will have you covered all summer long.
When considering what my suitcase will hold, I always start with the essentials, and thankfully, NET-A-PORTER has my packing list covered this summer. For diving into pools or braving the British coastline, a bright swimsuit is always a summer must-have. A basket bag will carry all your beach supplies or snacks for a picnic in the park, while comfortable and stylish sandals replace staple trainers on bright days.
After the essentials, the real fun begins. Throw-on dresses reign supreme during summer as "maximum style with minimum effort" remains my constant motto. Playful printed tops look amazing with wide-leg trousers and integrate easily into your everyday wardrobe with jeans. Last but definitely not least, colourful accessories will tie it all together. Read on for my curated list of summer 2022 essentials and bold extras, all courtesy of NET-A-PORTER.
