Vogue's summer soiree dressing guide

netaporter.com

Whether you're jetting off to France for a few weeks, spending your summer by the beach or enjoying a steady stream of rooftop sundowners—you know you've got to do it in style.

Regardless of where you're headed, there's a definitive look you should aim for. After all, what works at a casual poolside brunch may not translate for a champagne-popping cocktail party. Vogue gives you a break down of what to wear where.

Poolside Brunch

Proximity to the pool commands playing it cool in shades of blue. Add a wildly-patterned satchel to reflect your carefree mood, and round off your summer arsenal with wedge mules and a wide-brimmed hat.

Beach BBQ

First things first: sort out that cover-up. Throw on a bohemian '70s style kaftan over your bikini when you're not in the water, and when the sun sets, it'll look just as good over a pair of tailored shorts.

Cocktail Party

Want to stand out in the inevitable sea of black? Try a sleek, body-skimming dress in navy instead. Keep the accessories minimal—a cocktail ring and statement heels will do the job.

Sundowner

This can be a tricky affair to dress for, as the look has to go from afternoon to night. Team a bright pair of floral shorts with a slinky embroidered top. Chain-embellished flats and a traffic-stopping clutch add just the right amount of punch.

Yacht Party

Spending a day by the water? Nautical stripes it is! Set sail in a belted navy-and-white dress, complemented by boat-ready espadrilles and a pair of statement sunnies.
