Take a style cue from us by pairing with a statement shoe or alternatively, you could also choose a neutral moccasin or wedge sandal for something more understated to let your dress do the talking.

Trousers for an elegant day and night outfit

If you prefer a more structured or tailored wedding guest look, you may lean towards an elegant trouser and top combination. We recommend our SARA Straight Leg Jeans, available in four colours paired perfectly with a cropped jacket and our Sleeveless Striped Button Through Linen Shirt for a considered and contemporary look. Complete your outfit with a pair of strappy sandals to bring the look together.
