Garden parties are always popular, more specifically in summer and spring. These parties are a lovely way to enjoy the weather and revel in the warmth of nature. Whether you have been invited to an outdoor engagement party, an afternoon brunch or a garden theme wedding, you would need to dress up in a way that keeps you cool and still exude style and elegance.

When dressing for a garden party, the most important factor that you should consider is the weather. Light and flowing outerwear in breathable fabrics are a good choice if the weather is warm. Comfortable and easy to wear dresses are the best choices. Modern fashion trends focuses more on comfort and practicality, and any color or pattern is acceptable.

For parties where a dressier look is necessary, a linen shirt or dress with a short-sleeved jacket or sweater would be a great fit. Classic cuts, floral designs and a fitted bodice and flowing skirt are all time favorites for parties with a garden theme. Light and pastel shades are the best, though if the party has a specific theme, it is a good idea to dress according to it.

For women, there are lots of creative options—long or short skirts, jeans with a dressy top or a satin blouse. Cardigans, sweaters or jackets can also be added to complete the look and accessories like bags, jewelry should be in tune with the ensemble. There are choices galore to take your pick from and go with something that brings out your personality the best!
