So when it’s time to get all dressed up and ready to emerge onto the social scene, we have the styles to sort you out. From an assortment of dresses to jumpsuits, these are the outfits you’ll want to bookmark in preparation for upcoming summer events.

Cocktail hour

Eye-catching and bold, all eyes will be on you in this rich red jumpsuit. A fuss-free choice for the elevated events on your social calendar, this style will take the stress out of choosing an outfit when it’s time to step out this coming season. Stand out in its bright and bold colourway that adds to its lavish look.

The top boasts a one-shoulder neckline with a bow detail that’s beautifully balanced out by full length, wide leg pants. Requiring minimal styling effort, simply accessorise with elegant gold earrings and pointed toe heels for an event-ready look. From engagement parties to cocktail hour, this is an outfit you’ll turn to time and time again when you want something special to celebrate in.

Birthdays, barbecues and everything in between

The arrival of summer beacons the influx of invitations to birthday celebrations, barbecues and everything in between. We think a printed dress is the perfect piece to see you through upcoming social events. The Cassie V Neck Dress is effortlessly flattering and gives your look a hint of romanticism with its marble print of soft pinks, vibrant reds and purples that are pleasing to the eye. So whether it’s a birthday dinner or a trip to a winery, this short a-line dress can be worn for day or night events.

Work events call for classic corporate styles that make you look polished and put together. Opt for culottes that have been updated in linen fabrication with button detailing. Their wide leg, longline silhouette means it can be easily paired with summer-ready tops. Drape a blazer over your shoulders and you have an elegant look for work conferences and mixers.

Keep your look simple and clean at a backyard barbecue in an all-white ensemble. Tailored shorts are ideal for those balmy days when you need to look chic without overheating. The paperbag waist and seatbelt fabrication make these shorts elevated and perfect for pairing with a tucked in halter neck top and sandals for relaxed weekend events.

Christmas day to New Year's Eve

Celebrate Christmas day in a classy plisse dress. Whether you’re enjoying a barbeque in the garden with family or celebrating over drinks with friends, this effortlessly chic dress is guaranteed to see you through the celebrations in style. Designed from a pleated plisse fabric, with a tasteful halter neck and waist tie, you will encapsulate elegance when you wear this piece. The flowing fit falls to a midi length with a colour block skirt of bright pink and red that adds a dose of colour to the look.

When it’s time to get glitz and glam in preparation for the new year, you won’t want to countdown to midnight in anything other than this stunning sequin dress. A sparkling classic that features copper sequins all over, this shiny number will light up the room and get heads turning. With a tie at the waist to accentuate the figure and a mini length that lengthens the legs, a dress as glamorous as this will get you into that party spirit with ease. Wear it with black heels and keep the accessories to a minimum with fine jewellery and a clutch.
