What are some tips for accessorising formal dresses in Australia?

Whether you're attending a wedding, a gala, or a special event, here are some tips to help you add the perfect finishing touches to your formal event outfit:

  • Keep it simple: Formal dresses are often elegant and sophisticated on their own, so sometimes it's best to choose accessories that enhance rather than overpower the outfit. Consider classic pieces that won't distract from the main attraction, and try keeping your bag and shoes tonal for an ultimate put-together look.
  • Statement jewellery: Add a touch of glamour to your formal dress with statement jewellery. A bold necklace, interesting earrings, or a statement bracelet can elevate your look and make a stylish impact. A sequin handbag or metallic heel can be a gorgeous way to elevate a bold coloured dress.
  • Play with colour: While black and neutral tones are timeless choices for formal dresses, don't be afraid to incorporate pops of colour through your accessories. A vibrant purse or a pair of colourful heels can add personality and make your outfit stand out amongst the crowd. You can also discover our exclusive prints to bring an entirely vibrant and statement look to life.
