1. Wedding: Elegant and romantic
When you are invited to a summer wedding, it is important to find an outfit that balances elegance and comfort . Choose light, airy fabrics that allow the skin to breathe in the heat. A long, light dress is always a safe choice. Combine with minimalist jewelry and a pair of beautiful sandals or comfortable heels for a sophisticated look.
Outfit suggestions: Try a beautiful dress like our Yasmine dress where you can choose to go for a colorful variant in purple or classic in black, beige or ivory. For a more casual wedding, Mia's dress is also a comfortable and stylish choice. Combine with Blossom earrings (coming soon!) and a simple clutch.
2. Garden party: Easy and pretty
Garden parties require a mix of casual and chic . Choose a light and casual summer dress that our Mia suit in 30% linen for an effortless outfit. Comfortable shoes such as flat sandals or wedges allow you to move freely on the grass.
Outfit suggestions: An airy and light dress or a coordinated set like the Dreamy Top in white with short Dreamy skirts , combined with sandals and a wide-brimmed hat to protect against the sun.
3. Beach excursion: Relaxed and comfortable
For a day at the beach, it is important to choose an outfit that is simple and comfortable. A thin maxi dress or cover over swimwear makes it easy to go from beach to beach bar . Remember to bring a large beach bag for all essentials such as sunscreen, water bottle and sunglasses.
Outfit suggestion: Throw on your favorite bikini, like our go-to new Blooming Bikini in white or black . Ivory's Sarah beach cover is also perfect for a day at the beach as it can easily be worn over your bikini. Combine with Dubai gold earrings (coming soon!) and sandals for a simple but stylish look.
4. Music festival: Playful and comfortable
Festivals are a great opportunity to experiment with different styles and put your own touch on an outfit . Among other things, you can combine different patterns, styles and textures - or go for a simple outfit and top it all off with fun accessories such as a hat or flower crown. Comfortable shoes are a must, so choose ankle boots or flat sandals that can withstand a lot of walking and standing.
Outfit suggestion: Feel nice and comfortable in the Mariel suit - a light and airy dress that can be styled up and down as you wish.
5. Cocktail party: Glamorous and modern
A cocktail party requires a touch of glam and offers the opportunity for that little something extra even in the summer. Choose a dress or a set with a unique detail - like ruffles or an asymmetrical cut. By going for a simple color, you can also experiment with make-up and accessories. High heels complete the look, but choose a pair that is comfortable enough to wear all night.
Outfit suggestion: Dreamy top in black with Pretty Perfect maxi skirt . This set looks good both during the day and in the evening, and does not require many accessories as the beautiful details are enough. Pair with Dubai Small Hoops (coming soon!) and some stylish yet comfortable heels.
