GARDEN PARTY EDIT

Not all garden parties are weddings. Casual garden parties call for a fresh and put-together look without feeling overdone. Keep makeup minimal and take inspiration from the setting. For daytime birthdays, engagement picnics, baby showers or social brunches, here are some recommendations:

• Lengths: Mini and midi dresses work beautifully here. A wrap dress or flowy smock silhouette adds ease and comfort.
• Fabrics: Stick to lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, jersey or crepe to keep you cool during daytime events.
• Prints and colours: Experiment with bright colours, gingham, florals or playful prints.
• Shoes: Opt for cute flat sandals, low block heels or wedges. Again, comfort is key, especially if you're on grass.
