If your social calendar is filling up and you’re feeling a little lost on what to wear, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite trends and go to party looks to have you feeling inspired and without a doubt, the best dressed there.

Garden Party

An afternoon spent catching up with friends, sipping ice cold champagne in the sun and indulging in delicate hors d’oeuvres is our idea of heaven. Whether you’ve been invited to an opulent garden party that belongs in the Hamptons or a low-key celebration with your closest girlfriends, it’s the perfect opportunity to debut the summer dress you’ve been waiting to wear. From classic white to stunning shades of lavender, yellow and pink, a feminine style mini is the perfect look for this occasion. Pair with wedges for a dressier finish or white sneakers for a more low-key look and accessorise with dainty gold jewellery.

Cocktail Party

We love any excuse to dress up in a glamorous party dress and slip on our favourite pair of heels to dance the night away in style, and a cocktail party means just that. Look for an elegant midi or chic mini dress and explore statement embellishments, sequin finishes and textured fabrics for a fashion forward look. Pair a classic black dress with bold, coloured accessories or let the dress take centre stage and opt for a gorgeous eye catching piece in a romantic shade of bright pink or red. Complete your look with strappy stilettos and a coordinating clutch bag.

House Party

When it comes to finding the right outfit for a house party, think new season trends and effortlessly cool styles. A two-piece set, made up of a chic crop and flattering skirt in the same luxe fabric and colour, or a feminine mini, is the ideal pick that can be dressed up or down. Add a pair of gold hoop earrings and simple heels for an outfit that is made for dancing the night away.

Dinner Party

Although often not quite as formal as a cocktail party, a chic and elegant outfit is still a must for a dinner party. Depending on the formality of the night, explore dresses with contemporary cut outs in vivid hues and sparkling finishes for a more casual affair, or keep your look understated with a classic cut mini or midi in a neutral shade. Since you’ll spend most of the evening seated, remember to choose a style that’s comfortable to sit in!

For a more casual affair, experiment with cut outs and all over sequinned finishes, such as the beautiful Dilara Midi Dress. Image: Alamour the Label.
