WatchCamel Knit Dress, Stone Trench, Sage Mule, Brown Leather Belt, Silver Watch. A smart combination for engagement party in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
An engagement party sits between a dinner and a wedding. Smart and celebratory, a shade below what you would wear to the wedding itself. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- Save the full formal look for the wedding day.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
