Invites, Incoming: Dresses and Sets for Every Event

A garden wedding one weekend, a graduation the next. And then (peeks at calendar): charity luncheons, bridal showers, and at long last, vacation. Event season is heating up—so we’ve made event dressing incredibly easy.

Here, discover occasion-ready outfits you don’t have to think twice about, with styles you can dress up or down for any invite.

Summer Weddings

Softer than your little black dress yet just as versatile: new midis and maxis in classic navy. We love the Aretha for cocktail hour with an embroidered clutch, and the Somerset for a beach wedding with a compact wicker bag.

Far-Flung Vacations

The piece that belongs on every packing list: a day-to-dinner dress. With just a quick change of accessories, these styles easily go everywhere, so even though your suitcase space is limited, the outfit options are nearly endless.

Graduation Parties

Refined to mark the moment, yet relaxed for day. A printed shirtdress or modern matching set are always smart choices (as are block heels and slides for anything outdoors).

Alfresco Luncheons

From bridal showers to charity events, afternoon plans call for luxe textures and laidback silhouettes. This season, we’re reaching for shorts sets in lightweight bouclé, layers in open-stitch cashmere, and woven sandals.
