Summer Occasionwear
The Great British Summer Time brings a wide range of occasions, festivities and highly anticipated events. From famous sporting events to family celebrations and social gatherings, there’s plenty to look forward to over the next couple of months. And while we await the appearance of some much-appreciated sunshine, you can get planning your summer occasion wear wardrobe.
From holidays to garden parties and casual daytime celebrations, there’s a list of events requiring styled looks.
The Summer Evening Party
With the social calendar hotting up, there’s no doubt you will have several party invitations over the next few weeks. From big birthday parties to anniversaries, baby showers, gender reveals and engagement parties. Summer brings about a wide range of special occasions and is a favourite season for celebrating big moments in life.
For the typical summer evening party, whether indoors or outdoors, an evening party look is required. From mini party dresses to statement jumpsuits, having some reliable statement party looks in your wardrobe is essential. For summer parties we would recommend opting for a fitted mini dress with extra detailing. Opt for dresses in a bold colour or a simple, neutral tone with additional detailing such as floral appliqués, pearls, or diamantés.
Fine Dining Occasions
The summer months are perfect for fine dining occasions. Take advantage of alfresco dining experiences, rooftop bars or elegant restaurants. For these special occasions, it’s important to dress the part and feel confident and sophisticated in your look. A shimmering statement piece can instantly elevate your outfit and add a touch of glamour. Opt for a statement skirt paired with a simple blouse or a statement blazer over a little black dress. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures and fabrics for a unique and eye-catching look.
Alternatively a sleek and sophisticated maxi dress in a simple colour will flatter your figure and can be easily styled with your choice of shoes and delicate jewellery.
A Summertime Wedding
If you’re set to attend a summer wedding this year, now’s the time to get your wedding guest dress sorted. Reliable styles for a summer wedding look would include midi dresses and maxi dresses. Being sure not to upstage the bride, opt for bright colours or pastel tones and steer clear of any whites, ivories, and creams. Many summer weddings will call for a floral print, bringing some vibrancy and colour to your wedding look whilst remaining sophisticated and timeless.
The Great British Garden Party
The classic British garden party is typically a more relaxed, laid back event. Meaning you can have some fun with your outfit choices and opt for something a little bolder and playful. Coord sets are a great and easy choice that can be paired with a blazer for some extra warmth. Both a tailored shorts set and a pants suit would work in a laid back linen fabric to keep you cool in the summer heat.
For those who prefer dresses, a flowy maxi dress in a floral print is a great choice, while a linen or broderie anglaise style midi dress can be paired with your casual sandals or wedges for a relaxed daytime style.
