How would you style this dress?

I bought this dress to wear to a wedding, but I’m not sure on the best accessories. My automatic would be to pick out one of the colours of the flowers and buy shoes and a bag in that colour. But now I think that’s quite a dated look? Any suggestions appreciated!

The sandals you've got on look good. Are they platform/block heel? Can you get a handbag in a similar colour to pick up the nude tone flower on the dress?

It's such a lovely bold pattern, you don't really want to compete with it.

I agree, that’s a gorgeous dress and you don’t want to draw away from that. A basic necklace if you feel you want one, and some shoes that complement one of the brighter colours.

Looks lovely! I would go for nude heels and bag x

That's such a pretty dress. I agree that picking up a colour to repeat in your accessories wouldn't look as current. Your sandals look good.

It’s beautiful - where did you get it from?

It does look dated but I think that's the point of jumpsuits? I'd go for a strappy heel in silver/gold (your choice) or the same colour as the jumpsuit is it black? Or navy.

Oh my bad it's a dress sorry

I’d go red.
red shoes, red bag and I you feel like it a red hat.
Not too much jewellery. Maybe a bracelet and earrings but nothing more.

I'd go either l gold or rattan for accessories.

I have a rattan clutch bag with a black trim that I always wear with any florals. Can't find anything that similar online but if you Google some nice ones available.

I agree. That would look modern and summery.

SprinkleOfSunak · 06/07/2024 19:33

I’d go for gold or leopard sandals - I love to clash florals and leopard!

MrsFionaCharming · 06/07/2024 19:44

Thank you everyone!

The dress is Hope & Ivy, but I got it on Vinted.

The shoes I’m wearing are really comfortable so I think I’ll stick with those since people like them. Love the idea of a rattan bag, so I’ll start the Vinted hunt for one of those.

Are jumpsuits dated?

Yes

Yes

Really? I've missed the boat as usual. Lots of places still selling them though or is this like skinny jeans that I know are dated but still on sale everywhere. Surely the wide legged trousers will be over soon too?
