As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, my approach to dressing takes on a breezier and more carefree vibe. But whilst trends come and go, I prefer to rely on a few staples that are my summer wardrobe non-negotiables. From easy linen to relaxed bags, these are the pieces that add to my refined aesthetic whilst keeping me cool and comfortable during the hot days and balmy nights.

When it comes to building my summer wardrobe, NET-A-PORTER is always my go-to destination, because the luxury online retailer’s curated selection of sophisticated, wearable items never fails to impress. What’s on my capsule list this summer? Along with a linen dress, I’m also after a pair of elegant sandals, a neutral blazer for those cooler evenings and some chic yet versatile sunglasses to shield my eyes in style. And of course, no warm-weather ensemble is complete without summer’s It accessory—a basket bag.

With these pieces in my arsenal, the styling possibilities are endless. Whether I’m headed to a rooftop soirée or a leisurely brunch, taking a sunset stroll along the beach or even heading to work for a day in the Who What Wear UK office, these staples transition from one occasion to the next without a hitch. I love pairing a linen dress with sandals and a basket bag to create a simple daytime look, layering a neutral blazer over the top to add polish for an evening outing. And with the addition of thick-framed sunglasses, each summer outfit has that little touch of glamour that screams summer sophistication.
