The party-ready suit
Call off the search: we’ve found the perfect trouser suit for all your summer social engagements. In a strikingly striped linen-rich fabric, it’s the ideal alternative to a dress if you fancy ringing the changes. It can be worn in many ways: try cinching the jacket with a statement belt and finish with classic ballet pumps. Or for warmer high summer gatherings, team with a satin camisole top and complete your look with some glamorous party shoes. We love these sleek metallic court shoes, which you’ll wear time and time again.
Look sharp
Need a special occasion suit that’ll see you through spring? Our new slim-fit suit separates are the solution. The suit jacket, double-breasted waistcoat and trousers are all made with stretch for added comfort and are available in slim or regular cut. Choose this classic pale blue hue for a versatile look that’ll work for formal events or try this lilac or mint green version if you want to make a real statement.
Snap up a matching paisley tie made from pure silk to complete the outfit – available in pink, navy, light blue or green, it’ll add a luxurious touch. Finally, don’t forget to invest in a pair of smart shoes that’ll feel comfortable all day.
Kit out the kids
Getting kids ready for a smart get-together is never easy, but with our range of kids’ occasionwear, you’re sure to find something they’ll be happy with. You’ll find lots of occasionwear options for girls, from a pretty organza dress with a bow on the back to this deliciously floaty dress with butterfly motifs. Shiny shoes, like these gold ballet pumps, always add a polished edge to any girl’s party outfit.
For boys, you can’t go wrong with this handy two-in-one cotton shirt and bow tie set. Its long sleeves have roll-tab cuffs, so it can also be worn as a short-sleeved style. Team it with comfy navy chinos and smart leather brogues for an effortless outfit that still looks put-together.
