I tried the occasionwear brand perfect for garden parties, weddings and every other summer invite

July marks the start of wedding and events season, and with so many invites and social get-togethers - from brunching to cocktails - you might want to consider adding a new statement outfit to your wardrobe to repeat-wear all summer.

With disposable income tight, money could be better spent on one outfit you love that will get reworn time and time again, rather than several £5-10 pieces here and there that will end up in the charity shop or car boot pile come August.

My go-to for occasion wear for the past eight years has been Little Mistress, ever since I got my Year 11 Prom dress from the brand back in 2014. And nearly a decade on, they still blow me away with their stylish and extremely wearable pieces.

Little Mistress offers a range of styles that can be tailored to any occasion, with stunning silhouettes and attention to detail in a couture-like way I’ve seen no other brand nail. Every time I put on one of their pieces, I feel powerful and put together, but most importantly, I feel at ease and comfortable.

While their prices may be higher than your average high street brands, they’re still, I feel, accessible with pieces I’ve styled priced between £18 and £100.

Since launching in 2010 the Little Mistress Group has taken home the Drapers Award for Young Fashion Brand of the Year in 2012 and 2013, dressed celebrities and influencers and collaborated with Vogue Williams on a bestselling collection. As well as being stocked via their site, they can also be found at major high-street retailers such as Next, Marks and Spencer, ASOS, John Lewis and New Look.
