Dinner party

Polished, at the table.

Dinner dressing is close-range dressing: people see texture, neckline and detail, not silhouette from across a room. That rewards beautiful fabric, considered jewellery and colour that flatters by candlelight - and punishes anything stiff to sit in.

How to get it right

  • Invest attention above the table: neckline, earrings, sleeve - that's the whole frame
  • Sit-test everything - structured pieces that pinch at the table read in your face
  • Candlelight flatters warmth: creams, chocolates, oxblood, gold over cool brights
  • A host's dinner is dressier than a restaurant booking - when unsure, one notch up
