Wedding Season In Full Swing, So Here’s Our 2026 Occasionwear Style Guide

‘Tis the season to celebrate love, and dare we say it, a wonderful time to embrace the joy of getting dressed up with all your favourite people. Whilst the premise of finding the perfect wedding guest outfit can be slightly daunting - one that fits the theme, but doesn’t match the wedding party, that’s formal or smart-casual enough, but still reminiscent of your personal style - we’re here to remind you of the fun that can be had in the process. Yes, believe us or not, we’re about to prove it to you. 

Regardless of your search for something simple and sleek, classic or a touch avant-garde, you deserve to feel the best version of yourself. Read along to discover the accessory that will make your next event, just that much more special. 

To Clutch or Not To Clutch: Adaptable Clutch Bags

Utterly chic and signalling a ‘less is more’ attitude, the infamous clutch can make one step out feeling sophistication levels worthy of a Vogue cover. Better even, when they’re adaptable and a strap can be added for full versatility. If this is calling to you, we have options. Four shapeshifting styles - that can be worn with either of their three included straps! - the Kensington, Original Mini, City Mini and City Slim Bags. The Kensington with its slim, ultra minimalist design is a great go-to, with a built-in card holder, a leather wrist strap and 120cm Gold Chain that is fully detachable, it’s certainly a winner. 

For those who love a core classic, the Original and City Mini’s are perfect for a day-to-evening transitional bag. With many little compartments, three straps included and the familiar silhouette loved by many, these two are the perfect wedding sidekick. Your lippy, powder, phone and Card Holder will be neatly tucked away and easy to locate when needed. Check out the Quilted Mini collection for a little added texture! 

If you’re after simplicity, but with more of a structured look, our City Slim Bag is a compact rework of our City Bag. With its signature slim depth, front leather panel, back and internal zip pocket, this design can effortlessly switch from crossbody to clutch. 

With a small pop of colour or versatile neutral, these styles could be the best accessories for the perfect wedding guest look, that will accentuate but not detract attention from other statement pieces. 

Timeless Staples: Classic Bag Silhouettes

Looking for softer silhouettes, classic shapes that drip with elegance? Our Wilmington, Edgware and Original Bags all bring a curved design that can add a delicate, feminine feel to any occasion look. The Original is an all-time favourite, and paired with its simple leather strap or a Gold Chain, it will beautifully complete many looks. A structured classic would be our Wilmington Bag. With its leather top handle and saddle-inspired shape, this design brings suave sophistication to whatever look you accessories with it. 

Just like the Wilmington, the Edgware is a new design that joined the collection earlier this year, and is a gorgeous accessory for dressier affairs. With polished details and a soft curve, this design adds a touch of luxury to your look. 

If you are looking to wear a dress with softer fabric, dainty florals, or a romantic shape, perhaps a summer wedding in a garden or countryside setting, we assure you, you can’t go wrong with these three designs.

Break the Mold: Textured & Animal Print Bags

These designs are shouting ‘destination wedding’ and are definitely getting us excited for the summer ahead. If you’re after something a bit out there, then we think these are a perfect match. Starting with our most recent additions: the Canvas & Raffia Collection. At the same time, the Wilmington and Wilmington Mini in Raffia blend texture and simplicity, pairing stunningly with light and airy fabrics. With its baguette-style shape, the Wilmington Mini can fit all the essentials for an occasion, but if you prefer a little extra room, the Wilmington may be the one for you. If a subtle texture is closer to your taste, the Berwick in Canvas & Maple Leather would be a perfect match, with its canvas and leather panelling and timeless shape, the Berwick is guaranteed to elevate your style. 

If your style is leaning toward playfulness, our Leopard Print Collection has plenty of personality to go around. From Original and City Mini Bags to Sutton Sling, you can opt for whichever style or size that suits your essentials best. Bring a wild touch of animal print to add a different edge to your occasion look.
