TO THE WEDDING GUEST
As a wedding guest, you want to dress stylishly and elegantly – without outdoing the bride.A well-chosen dress shows respect for the occasion and the host, while also making you feel good and look great. Feel free to choose dresses in muted colors like navy blue, dusty green, lavender, beige or classic pastel tones. Floral prints in a soft palette are also a safe and beautiful choice.
Avoid all-white or bright shades that could be mistaken for the bride's dress, and steer clear of all-black unless the invitation allows it. Silhouettes like midi dresses, A-lines, and wrap dresses suit most people, and provide a sophisticated look that works throughout the day - from the wedding to dinner and dancing.
Materials such as viscose, chiffon or light satin provide a nice drape and comfort, and can be easily styled with heels, a small bag and discreet jewelry.
Tip: Avoid using white, and preferably too much black, unless it is a more formal wedding.
For the wedding party/Cocktail party
The wedding party or cocktail reception is the perfect occasion to experiment with bolder dresses.Choose something with exciting cuts, details or a little bit of glitter!
Tip: When choosing a cocktail dress, it's important to find one that's not too long. A midi dress is ideal for a party, as it gives an elegant look without stealing the spotlight.

MAY 17🇳🇴
The May 17th dress – ready for flags, breakfast and party.
When the national day is coming up, we want to feel extra pretty – without sacrificing comfort. A good May 17th dress can withstand breakfast with bubbles, hours-long children's parades and late dinners with good friends. It should be decorated, but not too stiff. Pretty, but still you.
Choose a dress that you can style up with heels and red lips – or down with flats and a sweater over your shoulders. Whatever the weather or your plans, we have the outfit to get you ready for the day we all celebrate.
There's something special about a white dress on National Day. Clean, classic and as timeless as the celebration itself. The white dress brings a lightness to the day – whether you go for simple cotton, romantic lace details or a more elegant silhouette.
It goes perfectly with red lips, blue accessories and the colors of the flag – and is easy to style for everything from garden breakfasts to champagne brunches and dinner parties.
Throw on a trench coat or blazer if the weather calls for it and you're set. Floral patterns or delicate pastels are also always a good idea on National Day.
Tip: Go for one short dress with a blazer or one long dress in lightweight fabric. Remember that there will be a lot of walking, so choose shoes that you can move in all day – perhaps a pair of nice sandals or low heels.

TIPS FOR FINDING THE PERFECT DRESS
1.Think about the material – and be prepared for variations:
Dresses come in many different materials, and they have a big impact on both comfort and appearance.
Lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton are ideal for warm days, while silk and satin give a more elegant and sophisticated look to the party dress.
Tip:
- Remember that the material also affects the fit – a cotton dress may be looser and more relaxed, while a dress in elastane or viscose may have a tighter and more structured fit.
2. Choose the right length for the occasion:
Short dresses are super easy to style and give a youthful look, while long dresses have a more sophisticated feel.
Tip:
-
When choosing a length, think about the activity you will be doing. If you are going to be dancing all night at a party, a shorter dress may be practical, while a longer dress is perfect for weddings and formal dinners.
3. Focus on the fit to highlight your best features:
The fit of the dress is key to how it sits on your body and how you feel in it.
Tip:
Go for an empire cut (high waist) if you want to accentuate your bust while hiding your stomach area.
-
A-line dresses are always flattering as they give room to the hips and thighs without appearing too wide.
