Drama-Free Dressing For Spring-Summer Occasions

Forget the nineties for a hot second, we’re swooning for the ‘50s.

Silly season is fast approaching, and if you’re looking down at your flourishing event schedule, struggling to mentally piece together enough outfits to get you through Hot Girl Summer, we feel you. Spring is all about bright pops of colour and cut-outs, so what does the next season have in store for us? Think soft feminine vibes, like pastels, florals and full skirts – basically, Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling is the blueprint (minus the hectic storyline). Taking subtle cues from costume designer Arianna Philips who drew inspiration from Palm Springs in the ‘50s, here’s how to dress for your upcoming plans so you can get ready, drama-free.

Day drinks

Typically, scheduled on a warm Sunday afternoon at an outdoor venue, you want your outfit to compliment the “fun in the sun” vibe; a coordinating set is perfect. Opt for soft pastel colours to feature throughout your outfit from head– with a fun scrunchie or headband to tame your mane in the heat –to toe, not making an exception for your heeled sandals. If bold prints are your thing, don’t look past large checks – the print of the season.

Dinner dates

As a CEO of “I’ll be there in 10” while still applying makeup, you want something that's cute but easy enough just to throw on as you rush out the door; a romantic dress it is. As a must-have fabric texture this summer, a mini broderie anglaise dress (picture dreamy white cotton with embroidered details and cut-outs) is perf for date night, giving off those pretty girl vibes. Grab your fave top handle bag to match and off to wine and dine you go.

Wedding guests

Here, we're talking midi and maxi dresses, and we’ve got our eyes on the unique floral prints from Oroton, Acler and the like. Think designer dresses in luxury fabrics, free-flowing silhouettes, structured necklines and puffy short sleeves. If you’re the trend setting queen of the pack, wear that crown and opt for a dress with a full skirt for maximum impact.
