Despite the gloomy British weather, the balmy evenings are set to
return - and with them, elegant soirées that last throughout the
night. But what to wear?
For those who prefer Champagne and opera, the world-famous
Glyndebourne opera house in East Sussex is the perfect occasion.
The season runs from Saturday 21st May until Sunday 28th August and
has been a haven for opera aficionados since 1934. Guests are
expected to dress up, and harrods.com has the outfit you need to
steal the show.
Evenings by candlelight cry out for bare shoulders, so why not try
a striking, sleeveless gown from
Halston Heritage in a head-turning shade such as
crimson? Use a
body oil by Molton Brown for a natural glow, and match
your dress with a show-stopping red lipstick by
Yves Saint Laurent. Shoes can add a touch of
sparkle, but make sure you wear a thick, or flat heel to prevent
sinking into the grass when picnicking.
Giuseppe Zanotti's embellished sandal in gold
or silver is ideal.
To offset a glamorous female partner, men should opt for black
tie.
Paul Smith's Byard Slim Fit Tuxedo and
Canali's Stripe Bib Dress Shirt fit the bill
for any occasion.
