Lately, I’ve had a few women ask my advice on what to wear to a summer wedding ceremony. They all said they wanted an outfit that was chic and stylish, but most importantly, wearable for other occasions too – day or evening. Quite a tall order, but I like a challenge so I set out to find the perfect ensemble! While searching online, I found this beautiful brocade dress, R2400, by Malcolm Kluk CGDT available at style36.co.za. I think the classic shape, almost reminiscent of the 1950’s with it’s nipped in waist & full skirt will suit a variety of body shapes. The elegant salmon pink colour will work on all skin tones – from pale to dark. This is the kind of dress that can see you through any formal occasion, be it a business lunch or a Christmas party.

I’d wear it with these beautiful cream lace inset heels, R499, by Danielle Michelle available on style36.co.za. The the suede and lace will work beautifully with the brocade-like fabric of the dress. Also, because of their neutral colour, they will work with everything – a LBD, navy or black trouser suit or even denims & a shirt. Buy them here
