Party Mode On

The sun is shining, parties are back – and we’re ready to dress for a night of revelry. Whether you’re welcoming the return of weddings (hurray!) or simply dialing it up for summer cocktails, here’s our definitive guide to party dressing for the months ahead.

From a castle in the South of France to a coastal celebration in Mykonos, extravagant settings call for high-octane glamour but bear in mind that it’s bad form to upstage the happy couple. Embrace the chance to dress up with statement making pieces that will ensure you look your best without trying too hard. Pro tip: go for more casual footwear to dress it down.

The best way to ease your anxiety about being out in public with real people again? Dress to impress. Earn your fashion stripes despite soaring temperatures in a cosmopolitan setting. We’re not suggesting you wear an evening gown or a tux to a bar but putting a little more effort than usual and stepping out of your wardrobe comfort zone is worth it. Casual drinks at the bar with friends are a golden opportunity to take a few sartorial risks. Try a bold print or torso-bearing layers teamed with some jewellery.

Fully embrace the dress code and lean into bright pops of colour. Here’s the groundbreaking part – invest in dynamic details that add an extra something. Think cutouts and twists for the ladies and floral accessories for the gents. The results capture the vivacious vitality of summer with elevated touches that require minimal styling with maximum impact.
