The Top Trends for Event Season

Pieces perfect for every occasion. 

It’s that time of year when event invitations start flooding inboxes. From homecoming and graduations to engagement and garden parties – we’ve officially entered celebration season.  

To help you navigate the busiest time of year, we’re helping you decipher event dress codes so you can achieve ‘best dressed’ status at your next event, regardless of the occasion!  

Dissecting the dress code  

We get it, dress codes can be elusive – intimidating mentions of ‘dress to impress’ and ‘black tie’ aren’t always easy to interpret. While these occasions might cause instant wardrobe panic, you don’t have to hit the trigger on your 'What's everyone wearing?' message to your designated group chat just yet.  

From homecoming and engagement parties to graduations and the many events the end of year has to offer – we’ve got just the thing to help you make an entrance at your next event.  

 

Dressing for Homecoming

It’s officially Homecoming season, which means it’s time to start prepping your outfit for the school dance. Homecoming is the perfect occasion to get dressed up and feel your best. So why not channel your inner dancing queen and show off your unique sense of style?  

Homecoming is a versatile occasion where you can express yourself and experiment with your look. Make an entrance at Homecoming with an embellished party-ready cocktail dress (think sequins and feathers) or be the belle of the ball in a sophisticated floor-length gown fit for royalty. No matter your dress choice, you can effortlessly elevate your Homecoming outfit with a suite of eye-catching accessories.

Turn heads at your Homecoming with our collection of trending finishing touches, including our wide range of choker necklaces and corsages. Rosettes are all the rage right now and are perfect for school dances. Style a chic, ballet-core inspired choker necklace featuring rosettes from our Perfect Petals Collection for a refined, ‘it-girl’ finish to your look. 

If (like many of us) you’re gravitating towards coquette-inspired accents this season, accessorize your Homecoming outfit with a wide range of ribbons instead. The ribbon trend taking Pinterest by storm is the epitome of ‘girlhood.’ Designers like Sandy Liang popularised the trend, making the return of ribbons appropriate for just about any occasion! Style our hair bow packs in your hair or add them to your bag or dress for a playful finish. 

Want to feel like a queen at your Homecoming? Crown yourself as ‘Homecoming Queen’ with our collection of Lovisa tiaras. Feel like royalty at your school dance with our wide range of silver, gold and rose gold headpieces – including our princess-worthy tiaras. Afterall, everyone should feel like a queen!  

Cocktail Hour  

We may be a little biased, but there’s no occasion more superior than a good, old-fashioned Cocktail party. Despite being our personal favourite, we get that the theme ‘cocktail’ can spark some confusion – so let’s end the second-guessing once and for all. What does the theme ‘cocktail’ actually mean?   

Think of a cocktail party as the grey area between casual and formal – but with a lot more personality. Attire for cocktail-themed occasions should always feel poised and put together, without being too ‘formal.’ Think shorter hemlines and eye-catching statement pieces that give your outfit some unique flair. 

Cocktail occasions are perfect for expressing your own personal style and accessorizing to the nines. Grab a clutch, a pair of chunky statement earrings and a pair of heels to match and you’re good to go!

Engagement Parties

Engagement parties are the first big celebration and milestone of a newly engaged couple. These occasions are perfect for showing off your love and enthusiasm through fashion. Traditionally, engagement parties call for ‘cocktail attire,’ so they’re the perfect opportunity to wear your bolder pieces that aren’t wedding-appropriate.  

Embrace sparkle in your engagement party outfit, whether you’re attending as a guest or the bride to be, add excitement to your outfit with a suite of diamante embellished statement pieces. At the moment, we're loving bow motifs - like these sleek ribbon earrings for a feminine finish to your look.

Show off your support for your engaged friends or family with our collection of trending, puffy heart cord necklaces. These simple, ‘90s-inspired necklaces are perfect for making a statement and adding interest to your neckline. Keep things pared back with a simple cocktail dress and chunky heart necklace, or elevate your look with a set of matching heart drop earrings for a lovable look.

Graduation Day

Graduation day is a milestone that will make the memory book. Whether you’re attending your own graduation, or that of a loved one, Graduation Day is an occasion filled with joy and achievement. 

As a reward for all that hard work, pair your look with some picture-perfect and timeless jewelry pieces for a refined, graduation day outfit.
