Dress for the occasion 

26 April 2018 

This season, it’s time to raise your game and dress for the occasion. It goes without saying that a dress code has been put on your invitation for one very good reason, and it’s there to be stuck to. No matter whether you’re gearing up for that all-important black tie event or looking for something a little more casual, we’ve got you covered.

Black tie

PERFECT FOR: THE PROM, BLACK-TIE WEDDINGS, WORK FUNCTIONS

Before you skip this paragraph, it’s worth noting that black tie doesn’t automatically mean a black dinner jacket. While super classic, if that’s not your style then you do have options. Step things up by opting for a subtly patterned jacket paired with plain trousers, and don’t be afraid to play with other colours (such as navy) and more expensive-looking textures, too.

Suits only

PERFECT FOR: SUMMER WEDDINGS, SMARTER PARTIES, DATE NIGHT

If you receive an invite for a suits only event, fear not. Use this as an opportunity to up the ante and veer away from your everyday work suit or decade-old two-piece that’s been hanging in your wardrobe with little to no use. A new season is the perfect opportunity to opt for lightweight linen suits in pale colours – perfect for warmer days and a great way to stand out from the crowd. Depending on the event, choose either a classic neutral shirt or a bolder patterned one and prepare to turn heads.

Smart casual

PERFECT FOR: BARBECUES, SUMMER DRINKS PARTIES, WORK OUTINGS

In the past, you may have found smart casual to be one of the most frustrating dress codes out there, but if you prep for it properly by growing your wardrobe with key pieces, you’ll no longer find yourself stuck. It’s all about simple items with a modern edge here, think tailored chinos, lightly patterned shirts and classic jackets (you can’t go wrong with a Harrington or mac) chucked on top.
