<-h2->Garden party outfits that work on grass<-h2-> There is a particular confidence to garden party dressing, and it comes from not overdoing it. This collection moves through printed and pastel midi dresses, linen separates, tailored shorts, lighter jumpsuits and satin blouses, in soft colour and considered print. She knows an outdoor afternoon rewards restraint rather than effort, so one strong piece and everything else held back. Cotton and linen behave in the heat. Satin carries the same look towards evening without changing it. Separates are worth thinking about here, because a linen trouser and a printed blouse can be pulled apart and put back together for the next three occasions of the summer. The pieces that work are the ones that look as good at six as they did at one, when the grass has taken its toll and nobody minds in the slightest. Dressing for daylight is a skill of its own, and this edit treats it like one.
