From the dress that hits on one of 2020’s biggest trends and the jeans Who What Wear editors all swear by to the perfect holiday dress and the swimsuits to pack for your next vacation, you can’t go wrong with any of these finds. Here, see how I’m wearing them, and shop my edit of the best pieces to buy from Net-a-Porter’s latest sale.
The dress I'll be wearing long into 2020:
This Matteau dress is a recent addition to my wardrobe but definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now. It's versatile enough to wear anywhere from the beach to the office or a dinner party, so I've been wearing on repeat. Plus, the long, flowy silhouette is destined to be one of the biggest trends in 2020 and is something I would put my money behind all over again.
Shop the dress:
The perfect date-night top:
I bought this Reformation top earlier this year and love the Marie Antoinette vibes it gives off between the romantic floral print and corset-inspired silhouette. With lingerie pieces on the rise, indicated by the S/S 20 runway shows, this is 100% something you should add to your shopping cart. And yes, it's absolutely perfect for a date night.

The jeans Who What Wear editors are obsessed with:
If you're looking for the perfect jeans, you'll want to try out this pinch-waist style from Agolde. Practically every fashion editor on our team owns these and loves them for their high-rise fit and straight-leg cut. If you walk into the Who What Wear offices any day, you're guaranteed to see someone wearing them.
Shop the jeans:
A faux-leather trench for layering:
While the black version of this Nanushka trench is sold out, the tan one is still available. Since I ordered mine, it has become my ultimate outerwear staple for layering over jeans and a T-shirt.
Shop the trench:
A foolproof dress for the holidays:
If you're on the hunt for a dress to wear to your holiday parties, look no further. This metallic dress from Rotate is stunning and extremely comfortable. I've been eyeing the burgundy version for months.
A cool take on a button-down:
I get so many questions about the puffy-sleeve button-down top from Totême I'm wearing here, but it sold out a long time ago. I noticed that Khaite has a very similar version (recently spotted on Katie Holmes), and it just went on sale. This is a cool take on a wardrobe staple you'll want to wear again and again.
Shop the top:
The perfect cocktail dress
This Deitas dress is truly one of the most beautiful pieces I own. The satin finish and side cutout details are beyond stunning and now I might need to order it in this white version.
Shop the dress.
The perfect bikini that you'll wear forever:
If you're looking for a bikini you'll have in your closet for years, this is the one to invest in. It has clean, classic lines that will simply never go out of style, and you can see the quality in the fabric and construction. The plunging top is the perfect shape for anyone who has a bigger bust. Of all of the bikinis I own, this Matteau one is my absolute favorite, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Shop the bikini:
For the one-piece fans:
Even though I love bikinis, one-piece swimsuits are my typical uniform at the beach. This one from Tory Burch reminds me of a style my mom wore in the '90s. I'm wearing a black version here but might need to spring for this emerald one now that it's on sale.
Shop the swimsuit:
The prettiest top:
I added this Cult Gaia top to my wardrobe over the summer for a trip to Italy and love every detail, from the ties at the front to the puffy sleeves. I didn't realize it also comes in this gorgeous orange shade.
Shop the top:
The piece to pack on your next vacation:
It's probably clear at this point that Australian brand Matteau makes up a solid part of my wardrobe. Here, another flowy dress that is the perfect piece to wear on a beach vacation.

Shop more of my sale finds here:
I just ordered this dress and have a feeling it will be one of my new favorite pieces.
I ordered a pair of similar earrings from Kenneth Jay Lane earlier this year and they quickly became one of my most-worn pieces.
Between the fringe trim and the checked print, there's so much to love about this coat.
Our editor in chief owns these, which is reason enough to add them to your shopping cart.
