Dare to break free from the dress code with our guide to dressing for joy this party season.
This spring, joy and connection are ours for the taking. Whether you’re attending the wedding of the year, a glorious daytime event or a swishy soirée, spring party season is here. Embrace the celebrations – and each other – and welcome a world of colour.
This is the David Jones guide to spring party season.
Confide in colour
This is the season to be bold. Breathe new life into your event wear with bold shades inspired by the bright, beautiful natural world. Explore sunburnt oranges, buttery yellows, midnight blues, and natural greens. Pair with exaggerated ruffles and voluminous frills or slinky silk silhouettes for dresses that feel like a celebration.
Break free
Remix your wardrobe with a curation of bold prints to turn heads at garden gatherings and rooftop celebrations alike. This season, we’re reinventing classic florals with abstract motifs. Stick to the theme with a palette of romantic pinks and greens or go bold with pops of red and yellow for a more subtle nod to the spring season.
On the bright side
Bring the joy to this season’s occasion-wear with vibrant accessories for every celebration. Layer on the charm with bags and jewellery in sunshine-inspired yellow and earthy greens. From handbags to jewellery, these colours truly embody the mood of the warmer weather. And add a touch of sparkle to after dark ensembles with embellished accessories and ornate details.
Glow time
Welcome a bright, bold new season of beauty defined by striking simplicity and powerful pops of colour. Pair vibrant hues – neon greens, sunny yellows and electric blues – with fresh, lit-from-within skin and enchanting fragrances to master the special occasion beauty brief.
The Perfect Housewarming Gift
When it comes to a housewarming gift, you can’t go past a highly-coveted home fragrance. Elevate their new space and add a little cosiness to their home with a scented candle, available in a variety of fragrances and personalities. Try to match the scent to the energy of the new home or the giftees—wanderlust personalities will love exotic fragrances and travel-inspired scents, while those with a green thumb might find inspiration in a fresh, floral-scent candle. Why not also include a matching room spray, diffuser or essential oil to help take the aromatic experience to another level?
Suits you
Demystify the dress code for every celebration in timeless tailoring and complementary colourways. This season’s take on the classics features soft, wearable neutrals in enduring silhouettes. For daytime events, pair sharp shirting with lightweight linens. And for after dark, you can’t go wrong with structured tailoring and leather accessories.
Modern charmer
Bring character to even the most formal occasions with tones, checks and textures tailored to your style. This spring, let your personality shine through with colourful separates and patterned accents: shirts, ties and jackets are a great way to experiment with this charming trend.
