Dressing For A Royal Garden Party

Given that an invitation to a Royal Garden Party is likely a singular event in one’s lifetime, we wholeheartedly recommend that gentlemen commemorate the occasion with the timeless elegance of a morning suit. As these festivities transpire at the zenith of summer, selecting a morning coat of suitable weight is paramount to ensure comfort throughout the afternoon. Our Black Chesham morning coat, the lightest in our collection, is exquisitely fashioned from a luxuriantly soft and breathable wool, endowed with exceptional moisture-wicking properties. This may be paired with our cashmere stripe trousers - available in two subtly distinct high-waisted designs - or the equally refined grey herringbone trousers. Complete the ensemble with a pastel double-breasted waistcoat and a tie in a striking hue, crafting a sophisticated silhouette worthy of royalty.
For ladies, the Royal Garden Party presents a splendid opportunity to revel in refined elegance. The dress code stipulates 'day dresses,' a term that permits considerable interpretation yet unequivocally excludes provocative, abbreviated styles. Our silk shantung dress silhouettes are an impeccable choice, striking an exquisite balance between glamour and poise. Tailored with a slender silhouette, they harmonise beautifully with our collection of silk coats.

For those inclined toward a more vivacious aesthetic, our array of dynamic floral dresses with circle skirts offers an ideal solution for such distinguished garden soirées. Comfort and elegance need not be mutually exclusive, which is why lightweight silks and linen fabrics are superlative selections. Linen, in particular, boasts remarkable breathability - a quality we have harnessed extensively in this season’s coat collection. Coats that conclude at the knee are especially versatile, lending themselves effortlessly to styling with dresses of commensurate length. As for hats and fascinators, we are delighted to offer our expertise in selecting the perfect adornment. Our esteemed millinery associates craft an array of breath-taking styles, and we warmly invite you to seek their counsel during your next visit to our Pall Mall boutique.
