It always helps to have a few go-to outfits on-hand during the social season. That’s why we’ve asked fashion stylist Jessica Allen (@jessica.louise.allen) to share her top three must-have looks that will have you ready for both casual and celebratory events!

Look #1 Chic Cocktail

Got a wedding or semi-formal occasion coming up? You can’t look past a satin midi dress in a fresh, vibrant colour and a pair of strappy heels from Forever New. Easily paired with a statement handbag from Seed and some gold-plated stud earrings from Pandora.

This combination ensures you’ll stand out for all the right reasons at any event!

Look #2 Casual Gathering

Next, we’re going to consider a more smart-casual vibe for those relaxed yet stylish outdoor gatherings. First, grab a flowy maxi dress from Cotton On and use that as your statement base. Then throw in an oversized tote bag and a pair of chunky platform slides from Decjuba. To complete the look, some gold-wrapped stud earrings from Lovisa will do the trick.

This outfit is effortlessly elegant and perfect for a picnic or a BBQ, where comfort meets style.

Look #3 Day Party

For the third and final look, we're going to opt for a gorgeous knit dress from Kmart and accessorise it with a chic, top handle bag from Seed. Next, add a pair of comfortable strappy heels from Forever New, some statement earrings and a flat bangle Sportsgirl. This creates the perfect attire for a day party or long lunch event as it combines elegance with a touch of fun!
