Occasion: your questions

What should I wear to a wedding as a guest?

Choose an elegant midi or slip dress in a colour that is not white or black, comfortable heels you can stand in, and refined accessories. Check the dress code and weather, and bring a wrap for the evening.

What does cocktail attire mean?

Cocktail attire means polished but not formal: a knee-length or midi dress, a tailored jumpsuit, or smart separates, finished with heels and considered jewellery. It sits between casual and black-tie.

How can I restyle one dress for different occasions?

Change the layers and accessories. A slip dress works for day with a knit and flats, and for evening with heels, gold jewellery and a sleek bag. The dress stays; the styling shifts the formality.
