Black Tie Function

Black tie dress codes call for sophisticated edits, so look to a monochrome colour palette for a smart feel. Black accessories keep things understated, whilst sparkly earrings add a dose of glamour.
 

The Races

The races are the perfect opportunity to have a bit of fun – no one will be offended by your bright colours or quirky accessories. We love this Chi Chi mini dress for holiday too – team the smart investment with nude accessories for a demure approach.
 

Wedding Abroad

Whether you’re headed to Santorini or Sardinia, weddings abroad are the perfect opportunity to embrace ultra-feminine shades and cuts. Stick to a pale pink palette for an elegant finish, adding block heeled sandals that will carry you through cobbled streets or across grassy patches in style.
 

Day-To-Night Events

For those events that kick off at lunch time and last well into the evening, practical dressing is key. That doesn’t mean compromising on style, however – try a cold-shoulder navy dress for wearable style points, with a chunky heeled shoe for guaranteed comfort.
 

Countryside Do

Country weddings require that illusive smart-casual balance, so look to pretty floral dresses teamed with subtle accessories for an effortless edit. Statement gold earrings add that much needed glam factor.
