Outfits for Summer Occasions
Words by Harrods Writers
From weddings and race days to the art world’s most exclusive parties, summer’s social calendar is brimming with opportunities to get all dressed up – but every event is different, and your outfits should follow suit. Discover how to dress for every occasion this season with the brands that do modesty best, from Roksanda and Taller Marmo to Simkhai and Zimmermann.
Wedding Guest
Attending a wedding? The rules of guest dressing can be tricky to navigate, but a happy occasion always calls for colour. Celebrate in your finest fuchsia-pink Roksanda or cobalt-blue Taller Marmo, opting for slinky silken materials to beat the heat.
Evening Soirées
Whether it’s a glamorous rooftop party or an exclusive gallery opening, there’s nothing like a midsummer evening to put you in the mood for dressing up. Here, it’s all about those extra trimmings – a LaPointe co-ord adorned with feathers, a shimmering ’70s-style Simkhai dress or a sequin-covered Delos kaftan. ‘Understated’ isn’t in the vocabulary.
