Navigating the black tie season
which kind of guest are you?
As the black-tie invitations start rolling in, the real question is: who are you in a sea of couture, glitter, and glam?
Put your mind at bay as we recount some of the season’s most sought-after styles and attitudes that we think would suit your occasion perfectly.
The Classic: This isn’t her first champagne toast. She’s been a staple at these events for years, commanding respect with her timeless elegance. Velvet, silk, and satin are her fabrics of choice—plush, rich, and always refined. But don’t mistake her simplicity for sameness—she swaps the predictable black for champagne hues or jewel tones, allowing her quiet sophistication to speak volumes.
The Pantsuit Queen: No plus-one status here—her name is the one on the invite. A powerhouse who radiates confidence and sensuality, she’s always the sharp outlier in a room of maxi gowns. Channelling Le Smoking vibes, her tailored suit is a nod to YSL, solidifying her as a fashion force everyone notices but few dare to imitate.
