Nothing ushers in spring like a beautiful floral dress. And a classic floral print is always a fail-safe wedding guest look. Style yours with a mirco-bag; note the silver shoes and jewellery, as an alternative to gold, which feel very now.
This time of year, it’s key to have a good cover-up in your occasion dressing arsenal. We can’t think of a better option than an oversized jacket or blazer. This season, softly sculpted shoulders and cropped lengths are set to be big.
If awards season is anything to go by, dressing up now is about an unbridled femininity – dresses have a no holds barred approach to girlishness that’s delivered through hyper-pretty pastels, 3D florals and corsetry detail (see the Mango dress, below). Balance out all that prettiness by wearing yours with a flat shoe for an unexpected edge (it’s cooler than a towering heel). We love the mesh ballet flats that abound right now, try Mango and Reformation for styles that ape the sold out designer iterations from Khaite and Alaïa.
In case you wondered, all black is an enduringly chic option for a wedding, even if it is in spring or summer. Lighten the mood by choosing a broderie Anglaise fabric, or a glossy satin style (this backless one by Leset is firmly on our wish list for events dressing).
