When it comes to wedding guest dressing, there are two colours best avoided: white and black. Instead, embrace the opportunity to wear something vibrant, such as a coral-orange dress. Ground the look with chocolate-brown accessories and shoes, then add an unexpected finishing touch with a deep berry lipstick. Elegant, polished and perfect for celebrating in style.
From Wimbledon to the US Open, summer is synonymous with tennis season. Lean into the occasion with a timeless cream midi dress featuring a simple cap sleeve. As matches can often feel a little more formal, layer a tweed jacket over your shoulders for a classic finishing touch. Comfortable sandals ensure you're ready for a full day courtside.
While beach holidays are often spent by the pool with a good book in hand, there's always room for an evening spent watching the sunset over dinner. A white cotton midi dress is an effortless choice, elevated with carefully chosen accessories. A woven tote and metallic sandals bring a contemporary feel, while subtle cut-outs add just the right amount of interest. Finish with beaded jewellery and, of course, don't forget the SPF.
