You know that feeling when you walk into a room full of people, wearing a good outfit, a great bag, and an even better pair of shoes? There’s just nothing like it. With summer event season in full swing—I’m talking weddings, vacations, galas, and parties—I think everyone should have a main-character outfit moment. As such, I’ve rounded up the chicest selection of summer-ready bags, shoes, sunglasses, and jewelry from NET-A-PORTER’s event edit to shop below. I’m looking for elegant clutches, chic sandals, and on-trend shell pieces that I know will make a statement. My most fashionable friends flock to this retailer season after season to refresh their closets, and with my plans finally making it out of my group chats, I’m ready to do the same (even if my wallet isn’t). Scroll on to browse my picks below.
Bags
I’ve never considered myself a clutch girl, but this lineup of chic styles has converted me. Raffia and straw are summer must-haves, and this Bottega vanity case in olive green (a major summer color trend, might I add) is seriously stunning.
