HOW WE'RE BREAKING THE DRESS CODE THIS EVENT SEASON

Event season is in full swing and this summer we're ripping up the rulebook. SS24 is all about wearing whatever you want because Y-O-U are the occasion. From wedding-guest attire to luxe leisure 'fits, or even looks for your go-to outdoor bar, keep scrolling for some occasionwear inspo and event-dressing tips.

It wouldn’t be occasionwear without a suit, but who says they're for formal events only? This season, we're wearing them whatever the plan and styling them with casual tees and accessories. Make a statement and opt for suits in non-traditional colors like sage green AKA the trending hue for SS24. Brown is always a vibe too, and will see you into fall (chocolate shades featured in loads of FW24 shows, FYI).

Smart shoes are nice and all, but we're all about choosing a more unexpected style for a modern take on formalwear. Sure, styling a smart 'fit with a pair of sneakers is nothing new, but clogs? Trust us, you’ll be turning heads for all the right reasons.

Contrary to popular belief, you can make shorts work for just about any event in your social calendar. Shorter, thigh-grazing styles like these were seen at Louis Vuitton and they're super easy to style (they're perfect for warmer weather too!) For the ultimate smart-casual look, wear your shorts with a scene-stealing shirt and leather loafers – don’t forget the socks.
