Summer is flying by, and I plan to make the most of every second of warm weather. A part of me wants to make some fun impulse buys to round out my wardrobe before the season ends. But I also want to think practically, so my goal is to find transitional dresses, tops, and bottoms that will serve me well in the fall, too. Net-a-Porter has all the fresh staples I'm looking for, including belted denim maxi dresses and '90s-inspired asymmetric tops (and of course, accessories to match). Here are the 16 chic items I'm telling everyone to shop before summer ends.
