Did you hear the news? Socialising is back ON! Ok, so we’re still limited to outdoors only and in small numbers but after a year of very empty diaries, we’re super excited to get some events booked in. Weddings! Birthdays! Garden parties! We’re here for them all. But… what on earth are we wearing for summer gatherings? Anyone else feel a bit out of touch with occasionwear trends?
To help you get geared up for a summer spent celebrating with friends and family, we’ve pulled together a handy guide to occasionwear outfits for the whole family. Whether you’re heading to a wedding or a posh BBQ, we’ve got you covered. From smart tailoring to floaty dresses – you’ll find it all here. Take a look!
Wedding guest outfits
Oh, how we’ve missed weddings! There’s nothing quite like shedding a few tears at a beautiful ceremony, followed by a day of eating, drinking and dancing. Banging!
We’re loving this classic English Rose floral print dress with longer sleeves and cute belt detail. Or go for a simple printed wrap dress – love those subtle puffed shoulders.
For mamas-to-be, this silky skirt will pair perfectly with a lightweight cami. Team with block heel sandals for navigating grassy paths or these cute colour block courts and a pair of delicate earrings, like this floral style.
For men, this classic slim-fit suit jacket just pops with a detail print shirt and timeless tan brogues.
Girls will love this swishy white dress with embroidered sleeves, paired with these super cute rose gold sandals.
And boys will look sharp and smart in these tailored shorts, with checked shirt and matching waistcoat. Too cute!
Party guest outfits
When it comes to summer parties, the fashion world is your oyster. No need to go super formal like you would for a wedding, but the perfect opportunity to get a bit dressed up for fun in the sun.
This bold floral print skirt can be dressed up with a floaty cami or kept casual with a baseball tee, while this floral sundress is garden party chic personified. And if you’re feeling a bit glam, this beautiful black maxi dress ticks ALL the boxes.
For fellas, these cream cotton chinos are so versatile for summer gatherings – team with a cool striped cotton shirt and some more casual desert boot style shoes.
Little ones will love the chance to get dressed up like mum and dad – this super sweet fruit print dress is perfect for spending time in the sun. 
And we can’t get enough of this adorable boys’ outfit – that bowtie though!
Girls’ night outfit
One of the things we’re most excited about as lockdown eases is being able to get the girls together for a night on the town. We’re not quite there yet, but it doesn’t hurt to start planning out outfits now, right?
If you’re prepping to hit the clubs, it’s time to activate those Hot Girl Summer looks. Starting with the sleek, sexy jumpsuit – we’re obsessed with this one – get it, girl! Pair with some subtle sparkle in this loose fit blazer, a pair of nude heels and a clashing snake print bag for ultimate style points.
Whatever you’ve got planned for the next few months, a few new additions to your wardrobe will help you feel fresh and fashionable after a year of not doing very much at all.
