Frequently Asked Questions

What should a guest wear to an engagement party?

Semi-formal to smart-casual is the standard for engagement parties. For women, a floral or pastel midi dress, a tailored jumpsuit, or elegant trousers with a blouse all work well. For men, chinos or tailored trousers with a blazer and loafers hits the right note.

Can I wear black to an engagement party?

Yes — a well-styled black outfit is entirely appropriate for an engagement party. Opt for elegant cuts, quality fabrics, and add interest through accessories or texture rather than avoiding the colour entirely.
