Fashion for That Special Occasion
Special events can be unpredictable—but your outfit doesn’t have to be. Our occasion wear range is designed with real women in mind. Whether you're standing up in heels all night or chasing grandkids between courses, we focus on comfort without compromising style.
From soft stretch fabrics to clever tailoring, every piece is chosen to move with your body, not against it. You’ll find structured jackets, easy-fit dresses, wide-leg pants and tops that add just the right amount of flair. If you’re not sure where to start, our in-house stylists are on hand to guide you toward styles that suit your body and the vibe of your event.
Need something timeless? We’ve got that. Want to lean into bold colour or texture? You’ll find those too. With new arrivals coming in regularly, you won’t be stuck with leftovers from last season.
Occasion Wear Essentials
Foundation garments are essential core pieces in your wardrobe. They should fit well, suit your lifestyle, and be easily adaptable for various occasions.
We recommend choosing neutral colours like black or navy for these foundation pieces. These versatile basics can then be enhanced with seasonal pops of texture and color.
Investing in these staples will provide effortless style, whether you’re heading to the office or going out for dinner. They’re also perfect for the woman who loves to travel.
It’s important that these garments are cohesive, so they can easily mix and match, creating a seamless and flexible wardrobe.

FAQs
What should a woman wear to a semi-formal event?
Semi-formal doesn’t have to mean stiff or uncomfortable. Aim for something that feels polished but still like you—try a midi dress, a flowy blouse with smart pants or a jumpsuit that shows off your shape.
Add a statement necklace or earrings for a little extra flair. Leave the denim and sneakers at home, and if it’s an evening event, a light blazer or wrap is a great way to keep it elegant.
How can I choose occasion wear that flatters my body?
Go for shapes that make you feel good—not ones that hide you. Wrap dresses are great for curves, A-line skirts add balance and wide-leg pants can feel surprisingly flattering.
Pay attention to necklines, fabrics and waistlines that highlight what you love about your figure.
A stylist can help you explore new styles and see what works in a relaxed, pressure-free way.
Can I wear the same outfit to more than one event?
Definitely. The trick is in how you style it. A dress you wore to one event can look completely different with a new pair of shoes, bold accessories or a different jacket.
Swap out your bag or add a belt to refresh the look. Go for good-quality fabrics and classic shapes—they’ll hold up and always feel stylish.
