How To Style For A Summer Event

When it comes around to summer, this is the season of sunshine, laughter and of course, plenty of summer events that call for stylish yet comfortable outfits. Whether it is a beach wedding, casual midday brunch or just a simple garden party, choosing the right attire can really make a whole world of difference. 

If you are unsure of how to dress for any upcoming summer events, not to worry as we here at Sarah Thomson have handpicked a few of our absolute favourite items which can really elevate your look this summer.

What Items Are Best For Summer Events?

One of the biggest summer staples of anyone's wardrobe is the women’s maxi dress. These long, flowing dresses are the ideal choices for a summer event should you want to keep cool, all whilst looking chic, effortlessly combining comfort and elegance in the process. Thanks to the range of colourful patterns these present in both soft pastels and bold tropical prints, these can suit the theme of a whole range of different events. It's not just style these classic ladies dresses offer either, with their long flowy silhouettes allowing for easy movement, looking flattering in the process.

Should you be going for a more tailored look for the summer event you are attending, women’s midi dresses are an excellent alternative. These dresses can strike a perfect balance between a formal and casual look, with this all being thanks to the lightweight fabric of these garments falling just below the knee. Various subtle details really help these midi dresses pop as well, with these being adorned with floral prints and even some delicate lace details as well, allowing them to be worn both for day and evening events.

Playful patterns, bold colours and lightweight fabrics are just a couple of the defining qualities of some of our other favourite summer event pieces, with this being in relation to mamma mia dresses. Inspired by the breezy Mediterranean, these statement pieces are all about vibrancy and fun, with ruffles, off the shoulder necklines and tiered skirts helping to capture the essence of a holiday soaked in sun even further.

Accessorising Your Summer Event Outfits

No outfit is complete without the perfect women’s accessories either, with summer events providing an ideal opportunity to experiment with some stylish and fun additions.  When it comes to the handbags from Bell & Fox, these are not only practical but also extremely classy statement pieces that can elevate an entire outfit. With simplicity and elegance being kept in mind with their designs, these can match any outfit regardless if it's popping with colour or features a more neutral colour palette.

As the temperatures rise this summer, protecting your eyes from the sun's rays is crucial. Even with this necessity, this doesn't mean you have to compromise on style whatsoever, with A.Kjærbede sunglasses being known especially for their trendy designs. This brand offers both classic and retro style frames, all of which have their own slight nuances that can suit anyone's personal style.

When it comes to accessorising though, one thing that cannot be overlooked in terms of their versatility are a good set of earrings. When it comes to the fruity Love Kiki earrings in particular, these are vibrant and playful, being the ideal choice when wanting to add an extra pop of colour to your outfit. These pair brilliantly with all the different types of dresses we have already mentioned, bringing some more summer cheer to your style and adding an extra layer to your look overall.
