Despite the heat and humidity, there's no place I'd rather be in the summer than New York City. The trees are lush, the rivers sparkle, and there's a tangible energy that gives you a European feel without having to hop on a plane. However, I'm about to spend the equivalent of a transatlantic flight on these 16 summer arrivals from NET-A-PORTER. Can you blame me? The retailer has provided us with lace-trimmed shorts, tassel earrings, oversize sunnies, woven ballet flats, and so much more. Every trending designer item can be found here, so I took it upon myself to curate four looks (and a mini itinerary) for all your summer-in-NYC adventures. Happy shopping!
Sidewalk Drinks on the Lower East Side
This first look is my ticket to beating the heat while remaining stylish. The formula includes a breezy midi dress, comfortable wedge shoes, and statement accessories.
Vintage Shopping in Greenpoint
A striped tee and pair of jorts are the easiest summer outfit I could put together. The details of this look are what make it stand out, specifically the bold colors and textures of the woven sandal.
Picnic in Prospect Park
Lace-trimmed shorts are everywhere right now, and my favorite way to wear them is with a more structured top for a balanced look. Bonus points for the editor-favorite Thistles sunglasses and a staple flip-flop.
Date Night in DUMBO
This last look is very '90s-rom-com coded thanks to the slip set and Manolo Blahnik kitten heels. Edge it up with the Saint Laurent sunglasses.
