Burgundy Midi Dress, Wine Wrap Coat, Rose Ballet Flat, Chocolate Leather Tote, Rose Silk Scarf. 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. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Save the full formal look for the wedding day.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
