Get Dressed With Me: Royal Ascot, Weddings, Garden Parties and Teas

 


Summer Vibes include invitations to weddings, anniversaries, garden parties, high teas, picnics and more.  This week kicks off Royal Ascot for British horse racing fans.  Why not take a cue from the beautiful hats and dresses worn to this elegant event?  Used as inspiration, you will elevate your entire outfit to regal status.  Here are some style tips to pull off this fabulous look.




Hat Styling (Think Philip Treacy-London)

Perhaps your most important accessory will be a hat or fascinator.  Ladies never remove our hats indoors so no worries about keeping it on for church, luncheons or teas. If you are not used to wearing one, simply observe these essential tips for a pulled together presentation.




1.) Try to match your hat to a dominant color in your outfit and clutch. They need not be the exact same shade but as close as possible.

2.) Adjust the hat or fascinator so that the brim dips down towards the right eye.  This adds drama and mystery!  Secure your hat in place with a hat pin, alligator clip or hair pin.

3.) Choose natural fibers like straw or sinamay with added accents such as ribbons and feathers.  You can even attach a favorite brooch or pin depending on the material.

Shoe Selection

This can be tricky as some event venues will be held outdoors such as the annual Garden Party, Royal Ascot and wedding receptions underneath tents.  You'll be navigating on grassy or sandy uneven surfaces, so I've found wearing espadrilles over stilettos to be the better option.  Very easy to pack for vacation and destination weddings, I'm wearing Viscata's handmade Vernada Canvas Sahara Spanish Espadrilles. So comfortable to wear and better than basic flats or sandals.  This lovely nude color also elongates the legs.  Visit Viscata.com online for more styles and colors.






In A Clutch

It's important when attending these events to bring a small purse or clutch.  You'll want to leave that "Never Full" tote at home!  A smaller bag can easily be slipped behind your back in your chair while dining.  My favorites are Chanel quilted crossbodies and python exotic leather top handled mini satchels.




The Country Club, Late Afternoon into Evening

Just a few more ideas....  If the event is indoors and going into the evening hours, you can bring out the stilettos while leaving the hat behind.  Why?  Well, if the event is after 6 pm, a hat is not an essential item. These Calvin Klein Gayle leather pumps are the perfect height and known for comfort. The DeMellier styled bag is like the Nano Montreal in smooth leather, deep toffee color. Just the right size to go from afternoon to evening.

My Ralph Lauren Navy Blue and white floral cocktail dress is accented with Chanel style pearls, as costume jewelry. Also, when the stars come out so do your diamonds! The new Les Infinis De No. 5 Collection by Chanel is delicate with a chic iconic design.

Stay up to date with even more style tips as the season progresses and you won't put a foot wrong at all.
