The party-ready suit
Forget the search for the perfect dress: this striking trouser suit could be a game-changer for all your invitations this summer. Crafted from linen-rich material with a chic monochrome stripe, it will give a refreshing twist to your warm weather occasionwear wardrobe. You can style it in a whole host of different ways: try wearing the jacket with a statement belt and this year’s must-have ballet pumps. Or, for those high summer festivities when the weather is warmer, pair with a satin camisole top and a nineties-style kitten heel.
Look sharp
Our range of special occasion suits has all the style and durability you need for every occasion. Comfort is always a priority, so we've added stretch to suit jackets, waistcoats and trousers, with options for different fits from slim to regular cut. Opt for this understated pale blue three-piece suit that’s ideal for formal settings or choose a lilac or mint green version if you fancy something a little different.
Look no further than a perfectly matching paisley tie made from the purest silk to complete the ensemble. Available in hues of pink, navy, light blue, or green, it adds an extra splash of luxury to your ensemble. Finally, a pair of smart shoes that promise comfort all day is a always a good investment.
Kit out the kids
Finding suitable kids’ clothing for a formal occasion can be tricky, but we have something for every little one's preference. Explore our occasionwear for girls, from this pretty organza dress with a striking bow detail at the back to this covetable feather-light dress with delicate butterfly motifs. These decadent gold ballet shoes will complete the look (and win every little girl’s heart).
For boys, this practical two-in-one cotton shirt and bow tie set is a must-have. The long sleeves come with roll-tab cuffs, so it can be worn short-sleeved, too. Combine it with our easy-to-wear navy chinos and smart leather brogues for a fuss-free outfit that ticks all the formalwear boxes.
