For Her: Laid-back Elegance
This cosy, dark grey midi dress ($69.90) has a V-neck and falls below the knees for a flattering, elongated look. Team it with block-heel lace-ups ($79.90), which give added height. If dresses are not your style, pair a white funnel-collar top ($59.90) with slouchy denim trousers ($69.90) for a more relaxed vibe. Stash your party essentials in a structured bowling bag ($79.90).
