Henna Embellished Top, £99 | Zamira Maxi Skirt, £109
This season’s most innovative take on occasionwear is through statement separates that lend a fresh update to classic dress codes. But it’s time to forget what you thought you knew about co-ords, because this season’s styles are unapologetically bold, with each piece as unique as its style counterpart. Think outside of the sartorial box with a hand-embellished top and a satin maxi skirt in a tonal shade that pulls the whole look together.
Camille Jumpsuit, £119
Jumpsuits are a non-mover on the style agenda, providing a modern and undeniably chic alternative to occasion dresses. This season, however, these stand-out pieces edge away from darker, more dramatic palettes and take on a feminine, romantic aesthetic that is perfectly in tune with spring and summer. Embrace the trend with a wide-leg silhouette that combines a light, pastel palette with photographic floral prints in over-scaled proportions, paying special attention to cold shoulder details.
Marianne Lace Dress, £169
Lace dresses retain their relevance for this season’s events, though taking on a lighter, fresher feel that’s suited to warmer days. Guipure floral lace patterns with intricate cut-outs and sky-blue hues take the place of traditional fabrications, lifting the mood of this classic ladylike style. Look out for sheer compositions – we like how a slightly shorter slip reveals a glimpse of skin at the hemline.
