Choosing the Best Party Dress

From a girl’s night out with your best friends hopping from one chic bar to another to an afternoon spent celebrating a special event, finding the right dress for any occasion can be tricky. Whether your style is classic and effortless or colourful and fashion forward, we’ve rounded up some stunning party dress styles to suit every taste and event.

Daytime Event

As the weather warms up, we love to make the most of the sunshine and longer days with daytime parties and events. Whether it’s an opulent Hampton’s style garden party or long afternoon sundowner, it’s the perfect opportunity to step out in a chic mini dress and explore light, breezy colour palettes and lightweight fabrics. Pair a little white dress with classic gold jewellery or add a pop of colour with a bright, statement bag and coordinating heels. If you’re spending the day on grass, opt for a wedge or block heel – you’ll thank us later!

Girls Night Out

Aside from dancing the night away surrounded by our best friends, one of our favourite parts of a girl’s night is getting dressed up in a stylish new outfit. Explore your personal style and elevate your look with bright, bold colours and gorgeous fabrics such as silky satin, feathers and all over sequins. Choose a chic mini or midi length and slip on your favourite heels to complete the look. Keep your accessories lowkey when opting for a statement piece, such as simple hoop earrings and a dainty necklace or lean into the colour blocking trend and pair a coloured dress with earrings in a coordinating shade.

Cocktail Party

The classic cocktail dress code has evolved over the years to incorporate more contemporary styles and seasonal trends, including mini dresses, jumpsuits and coordinating two piece sets. For an evening that’s a little more laid back take the opportunity to step out in a coordinating set or jumpsuit. Look for a piece in a high quality fabric and shade that compliments your complexion. If a classic look is more you, opt for a simple black dress in a flattering silhouette and accessorise with diamante drop or pearl earrings for a look that’s always on trend.
