Birthday brunch to baby showers

A dress that will impress


Floral dress



When it’s time to get dressed up for daytime events, like a birthday brunch or baby shower celebration, you can always count on a showstopping floral dress to see you through this season’s events. With a flattering V neck, flowing silhouette and heightened hemline that sits just above the knee, this piece is a decidedly feminine choice to wear to a celebration.

Look to floral blooms in delicate shades of purple and sage green for a fresh take on a classic print. Style with nude high heels and fine jewellery for an outfit that's the right balance between relaxed and elevated. So if you’re on the hunt for the perfect baby shower outfit to celebrate a mum-to-be or enjoying a leisurely brunch as you catch up with friends at a birthday, this is just the dress that will impress.

Work conference to cocktails in the city

Endless wearability


Floral blouse



From work events to after-hours drinks, what could be better than styling a floral blouse? This season, statement necklines, tie fronts that accentuate the waist and balloon sleeves are non-negotiable as far as we’re concerned. A polished piece that stands out for all the right reasons, this blouse effortlessly takes you from professional work conferences to catch-ups with friends over cocktails in the city.

To give your look an added edge, style with trending faux leather pants and strappy heels. So whether you’re looking to create a standout look for a night out or polish up your workwear selection for special events, a statement botanical blouse is just the piece that will get endless wear.

Easter day to garden soiree

Step out in style


Floral midi dress



Statement florals are on our style radar this social season and midi dresses have always been a go-choice when it comes to occasion dressing, so it makes sense to dress up your look for special events with a floral midi dress. Whether you’re getting the garden party started or stepping out to Easter lunch, a beautiful botanic printed dress will have you showing up in style to any event.

For a refreshing take on mid-length dress styles and classic floral prints, look to asymmetrical hems with an under-the-knee grazing length and bright, bold florals set against a darker base. For a pop of colour, reach for florals in shades of pink and lilac to liven up the look. When the temperature starts to drop, we recommend styling it with a trench coat to keep you warm during outdoor events like garden parties or for in-between moments when you’re out and about or heading over for Easter day celebrations with family.
