With up to 30 people allowed to meet outside, we're all for garden parties right now. If you take a look on Instagram it's full of stunning balloon arches, fire pits and outdoor dining set ups. Plus there's no crowds, so if venturing out doesn't appeal to you right now then an afternoon with your friends and family in someone's garden is the perfect middle ground.
But what do you wear? We've pulled together some of our favourite looks and of course, a couple of shoe recommendations for each. Don't forget to pack your layers or bring a blanket if you're planning on staying into the evening.
Midi dress and trainers

We love this look for a garden party - it's relaxed and chilled while still super cute! Opt for a patterned dress with plain (ish!) trainers or a plain dress paired with trainers that do ALL the talking!

Such a staple summer look. Feminine and cool in this heat. Every woman needs a strappy sandal in their wardrobe!

Beautiful brights

After the year we've had we're all about shoes which are bright and beautiful. Anything to put a smile on our faces. Yellows, pinks and oranges are all on trend for SS21, so take advantage of the feel good colours.

Dress and sliders

It's no secret that we love a slider. They're so comfortable and perfect for slipping on and off if you're bringing out the food from the kitchen for your guests - or maybe getting in and out of the pool?

It doesn't get any more summery than a heeled espadrille! They look gorgeous with anything; mini, midi or even shorts. These will look amazing in any photos of your garden party - plus they make your legs look 🔥 !
