Event season is here, and our social calendars are busier than ever. But instead of tearing apart your wardrobe and proclaiming that you have absolutely nothing to wear, take a deep breath and discover our guide to getting dressed this party season.

Embrace (arguably) the best months of the year and let your wardrobe mirror the sparkling colours that come alongside the change of season this summer.

Each invite comes with its own unique set of dressing rules. But the ultimate guide to staying stylish this summer is to lean into your personal style and choose confidence-boosting outfits.

If there is a particular type of dress code attached to the invitation (say black tie, cocktail or smart casual), do your research to make sure that you’ll be dressed appropriately. Certain dress codes can impact everything from the length of your hemline to the colour of your outfit (e.g. never wear white to a wedding). If your host has planned a theme, there are clever ways of incorporating this into your outfit, too. Think florals for a garden party or dazzling diamantes for a glamour-filled New Years Eve event.

As the weather heats up, so do the celebrations. Follow our rules for summer event dressing and be prepared for any date in the diary this season.

Feminine silhouettes and playful pops of colour are the order of the day for summer weddings this year. Have fun in the High Voltage Slip Dress, cast a striking silhouette in the Black Fast Forward Strapless Dress or turn heads in the Cadaques Slip Dress. The right accessories will accentuate each one of these divine pieces.

As you shed your winter layers and get set to indulge in the revelry of the silly season, chances are you’ve noticed your calendar filling up quickly. Summer proves to be just the right time to throw a soirée. And with a backlog of pandemic-delayed weddings, an appetite for sun-soaked celebrations and festive invitations rolling in, this year seems to be busier than ever.

The weather can be unpredictable at this time of year. It's always best to incorporate layers into your look so that you can (stylishly) navigate hot or cold temperatures throughout the event.

Jewellery and hair accessories are the best ways to enhance your outfits and add a little bit of personality to your look. Whether you prefer chunky, statement pieces or more subtle styles, a pair of earrings, stacked rings and layered necklaces will add on-trend punctuation for any event.

Now is the time to let your true colours show. Let the sunshine and good times influence your outfit choices and amp up your wardrobe with bright styles this summer. It's the ultimate dopamine hit.
