An Invitation To Dress Up

Don’t feel that you have to embrace the dress only: a suit or jumpsuit is an easy, effortlessly chic win, especially when it comes to a city wedding. Look for bold colours this summer and keep it modern, elevated by strappy summer heels. Oozing simplicity and luxury, curate a sleek capsule wardrobe of wear-anywhere pieces with this contemporary range.

Accept Karen Millen’s invitation to dress up with luxury styles engulfed in hues to celebrate brighter days ahead. Think confidence in a staple Karen Millen summer dress, featuring stylish prints, on-trend block colours and beautiful fits.

Embrace this season’s most tactile textures with soft to touch slinky fabrics and contemporary two pieces. Think chic tailoring, wear-with-everything tops and effortless silhouettes that tick the style box. You can dress these pieces up or down with the right accessories, the perfect investment for your wardrobe that you can wear time and time again. Catwalk inspired colours and detailing adds interest and a playful touch to even the simplest of separates.

Perfect for summer event dressing, trousers are a sophisticated option with just as much glamour as a dress or jumpsuit. The crepe, satin and stretch fabric feels amazing against skin will be comfortable even in warmer climates.
