Weddings, birthdays, races and more—there are many reasons to get dressed up this summer. True to form, NET-A-PORTER has already served up a concise edit of occasion styles to ensure you don't face a last-minute panic over what to wear. The occasionwear edit is focused on the joy of dressing up, whether you love a sweeping dress or a chic two-piece. Plus, there are loads of accessories to take your ensemble to the next level.
After months of bundling up, the excitement of getting dressed up has returned with the sunshine. With wedding season underway and summertime events glimmering on the horizon, social calendars are filling up. To save you the headache of finding your next occasion look, we've turned to NET-A-PORTER's occasionwear edit, which is full to the brim with new-season gems that are sure to tick all the boxes.
If you're looking to have your finger on the fashion pulse, then a corsage moment should be at the top of your list. Flower motifs are taking centre stage right now, and NET-A-PORTER has rounded up the very best around. This is an opportunity to go above and beyond, so we've added some stellar sequin- and feather-adorned styles that truly pack a punch. If your personal style is more muted, don't fret. Cut-out styles and interesting silhouettes will add a point of difference whilst keeping you in your comfort zone. There are also striking separates that can be ramped up for any occasion or easily paired back with jeans for a dressy dinner look. Finally, NET-A-PORTER has provided a seriously good lineup of accessories to ensure your finishing touches aren't an afterthought.
