5 Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas: What To Wear To A Celebration

Sakina Abidi — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 22:00:42 +0000

Got a wedding to attend? Time to pick out an outfit! Here are five wedding guest outfit ideas (accessories included!) for any celebration.

As a wedding guest, we’re sure figuring out your outfit is at the top of your to-do list (alongside cash or wedding gifts for the newly married couple). Whether it’s keeping cool at a spring garden lawn occasion or getting glam at a glitzy evening affair, we’ve put together five outfit ideas to help you nail the perfect look — no matter the wedding type, season or celebration.

What To Wear To A Spring Garden Or Lawn Wedding

There’s just something about a spring or summer celebration that pulls us towards florals and foliage — and, in our humble opinion, sustainable label Reformation does greens best. We love the brighter splashes of yellow and pinks on this forest green, a deeper shade that we think is what keeps the floral print dress from looking too casual.

There’s also a sense of elegance coming from the sensible above-ankle length, small peplum detail, mermaid tail, bustier and scallop edge lace trim. For a day event, pair with a pastel yellow pair of strappy heels (or beige!) and whichever metal suits your undertone best (we’ve gone with gold here but you can always opt for white-gold or bronze!).

Spring Day Wedding — Look 1 Pieces

What To Wear To A Summer Evening Reception

Balmy summer evenings call for a little skin! If you’re attending an outdoor affair in the warmer months, go for something with a little structure in a softer or brighter colour — light, but not white. That way you can stay cool but look sophisticated and put together.

This sensual coral midi dress is lightly embellished with sequins on floral lace for that formal but not too stuffy balance. We love the exposed boning on the sheer corset-style bodice and the decorative knot buttons. To amp up the glamour, we’re going for a rhinestone-studded clutch and pair of sandals, along with some diamonds and gemstone-studded jewellery.

Summer Evening Reception — Look 2 Pieces

What To Wear To A Black Tie Formal Event

What exactly is Black Tie? Good question! A semi-formal Western dress code for evening events, you’ll be in want of a floor-length gown (although this can be flexible depending on the couple getting hitched!). Look for something elegant, like this gorgeous backless draped dress in deep sea blue. We think the small lace detailing gives it a hint of edge.

We’re pairing this with silver tones: white-grey pieces and oxidised silver jewellery like these dangling chandelier earrings, classic metallic leather stilettos and a chain purse. It’s giving sophistication!

Black Tie Formal — Look 3 Pieces

What To Wear To A Tropical Destination Wedding

Now do you have to wear colour from head to toe? Of course not! But we think a tropical destination wedding calls for a little fun! Go for something bright, especially if you’re heading somewhere tropical or beachy. Keep cool in a draped dress, with some flexibility to beat the heat (and room to eat to your heart’s content!).

We can’t get enough of this JW PEI bag, which comes in over 28(!) colours. Pair with some strappy gladiator heels (you’re welcome to go for black, beige or white!) and a stunning bold lip — we’re plugging MAC’s Locked Kiss Ink for a weightless liquid colour that promises to stay on all day, in heat and humidity.

Tropical Destination Wedding — Look 4 Pieces

Something Different For Any Wedding Event

And finally, a “you can’t go wrong” pick! Instead of a dress, try a classy jumpsuit — like this halter-neck satin option in soft pastel purple. Black doesn’t mean you’re playing it too safe (it’s timeless!) so we’re pairing this number with some mesh ruffled heels and a teeny tiny embellished bag. Finish the look with accessories like silver-tone chunky hoops. You’re guaranteed to fit any dress code.

A yoga mat should be your best workout friend — comfortable for your knees and elbows to sink into without reaching the hard or uneven floor underneath, providing sufficient grip so you or the mat won’t slip! We’re looking for thicker, solid exercise and training mats that are still light enough to carry around from your home to a yoga studio or gym and are easy to clean (so you can sweat without worrying about spoiling your mat). Covering various textures (rubber, non-rubber, latex-free) and sizes, here are our favourite yoga mats in Hong Kong — that can work for HIIT, Pilates and more.

lululemon, The Workout Mat 6mm, $780

Designed to keep up with your high-intensity workouts — weights, shoes and all. Lululemon’s best-seller is no-nonsense, featuring a raised textural design to give you a grippy surface and keep sweat and moisture out. Stain-resistant and easy to clean, this is made with recycled PVB that would otherwise end up as waste.

We also like: The Reversible Mat 5mm (currently out of stock), The Mat 5mm Textured and the Lift and Lengthen Yoga Block

Alo Yoga, Warrior Yoga Mat, $825

For the ultimate yogi. A pricier pro pick, the Alo Yoga Warrior Mat is made with ethically sourced, premium, all-natural rubber, making it a top non-toxic choice. It’s cushioned for joint support and completely anti-odour and dry-wicking — giving you a slip-free surface in a roomy oversized design (188cm) and a luxe, matte finish.

We also like: The Uplifting Yoga Block in matching shades

KIMJALY, Gentle Yoga Mat, $199

This affordable KIMJALY yoga mat is thick (8mm) and cushy for maximum comfort. Perfect for gentle yoga styles like Hatha, restorative and nidra (rather than more high-intensity dynamic ones). It has great grip, is easy to clean and comes with a strap so you can take the mat anywhere.

We also like: The Yoga Foam Block, only $49!

Adidas, Yoga Mat, $210

The more challenging the Asana, the more you worry about slipping! For dynamic yoga, look to this grippy Adidas mat, so you can hold every pose with confidence. This anti-slip yoga mat is slim enough (4mm) to keep you stable while giving you some foam-provided comfort. It’s also PVC-free.

Barrel Fit, Yoga Mat, $495

For slow movements, done with ease. Seoul-based brand Barrel Fit’s yoga mat is a high-density foam option that’s great for Pilates, stretching and gentle yoga — giving you have a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Made of non-toxic, eco-friendly TPE material, it provides superior cushioning and excellent grip on ground surfaces.

We also like: The Barrel Fit Yoga Block

Cotton On Body, Printed Yoga Mat With Strap, $229

A solid yoga mat, we especially like the versatile carry strap that doubles as a resistance band! Cotton On Body’s offering is lightweight and portable, with a nice textured surface that adds grip and is easy to wipe clean. Made of TPE and foam.

Manduka, eKO Yoga Mat 5mm, $879

Looking for a 99 percent latex-free yoga mat? This Manduka yoga mat is eco-friendly and biodegradable, made from non-Amazon harvested tree rubber. It’s high-performance with a natural grippy surface.

YUJ, Landscape Yoga Mat, $612

Eco-responsible and eco-friendly! Made of 100 percent natural rubber, this super-slim 1.5mm yoga mat from YUJ is too pretty for words. Feel totally zen as you complete your morning or evening stretch — it’s perfect for a session of restorative yoga.

10 Sunglasses To Shop In Hong Kong

Sakina Abidi — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 22:00:03 +0000

Must-have sunglasses, with shades and sunnies options for everyone and every season — all available to shop in Hong Kong

Whether it’s slim, stylish sunnies or big designer shades, sunglasses are a must-have accessory: keeping your eyes out of too-harsh rays while adding a bit of oomph to your look. With everything from Barbie-inspired white frames to heart-shaped sunnies and aviators on the market, we’ve narrowed down the options to our favourite “can’t-go-wrong” pairs of sunglasses to buy in Hong Kong.

Gucci, GG Square Frame Gold-Tone Sunglasses, $3,900

We’re starting with a gorgeous pair of gold-tone half-metal frames from Gucci! We love how fresh these sunnies look — with narrow tinted green lenses and exposed edges, set with GG monograms.

Chloé, Gayia Oversized Tortoiseshell Sunglasses, $3,250

A NET-A-PORTER exclusive, these sunglasses have an on-trend oversized shape and classic vintage tortoiseshell colour, fitted with throw-back brown-tinted lenses.

Rather save? These Cabana oversized sunglasses ($815) from J.Crew come in five tortoiseshell colours.

Dior, DiorBobby B1U Cat-Eye Sunglasses, $3,400

Margot Robbie is set to wear a whole bunch of Barbie-perfection sunnies in the upcoming film, but we can’t get enough of the vintage-inspired white cat eye sunglasses she’s been sporting in teasers and on her press tour. Opt for this similar-looking pair from Dior!

Rather save? These bone-white slim cat-eye sunglasses from Quay are $688

Ray-Ban, Hexagon-Frame Gold Sunglasses, $985

You just can’t go wrong with a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. This cool hexagonal fame is flattering on so many face shapes and we like its warm gold tone for summer. You could also opt for one of the brand’s signature aviators.

Balenciaga, Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses, From $1,530

There’s just something so cool about a classic pair of black sunglasses from Balenciaga. We like this sunnies’ shiny black acetate frames and dark oval lenses, hand-crafted in Italy.

Rather save? Pick up this pair of oversized angular cat-eye sunglasses ($188.99) in black from Topshop.

Gentle Monster, Meta 02(V) Sunglasses, $3,220

Look to the future with these too-cool sunglasses from Gentle Monster’s 2023 collection. Features a bold icy-silver metal frame in a sporty goggle shape and blue-violet lenses with detail on the temples.

Saint Laurent, Loulou Heart-Shaped Snake-Print Sunglasses, $4,690

Saint Laurent’s heart-shaped Loulou sunglasses have been spotted on Miley Cyrus, Salma Hayek and Paris Hilton! Join the fun with this pair made from gold-tone metal and snake-print acetate, with protective lenses and adjustable nose pads.

Rather save? These Jeepers Peepers festival heart rimless sunglasses in purple are $233.99.

Celine, Triomphe Oval-Frame Sunglasses, $4,200

Another Barbie-inspired pair, we couldn’t help ourselves! These Triomphe white oval-frame sunglasses from Celine are the same pair worn by Margot Robbie on her film press tour.

Rather save? Michael Kors’ white MK2192 Empire branded-arm oval-frame sunglasses will set you back $1,410.

Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza, Square-Frame Sunglasses, $2,900

A 70s-inspired pair of shades with a modern feel, we love these oversized square-frame sunglasses from Loewe’s collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza. Bold and over-the-top, they’re crafted with wide black acetate rims and set with pink-tinted lenses.

Bottega Veneta, Triangle Cat-Eye Sunglasses, $3,620

Bottega Veneta’s Triangle sunglasses in the label’s signature bright-green acetate are perfect for the ultimate pop of colour. The cat-eye silhouette is totally on-trend and we like its dark-grey lenses and gold-tone details on the arms.

Rather save? River Island has a pair of slim cat-eye sunglasses in green for $211.99

5 Hong Kong Summer Outfits: What To Wear When It’s Hot & Humid

Amanda Leigh Wong — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 22:00:12 +0000

Featuring natural, breathable fabrics like silk and linen and loose-fitting silhouettes, here are five summer outfits to help you survive the Hong Kong heat.

Temperatures keep rising and the humidity levels are as high as ever — that’s right, Hong Kong summer is here! Getting dressed to stay cool can be a task, which is why we’ve put together five outfit ideas to keep you looking and feeling your best in the unforgiving city heat all summer long. Think natural and breathable fibres like silk and linen, effortless, loose-fitting silhouettes, UV-protecting pieces and sweat-proof accessories. Here are five Hong Kong summer outfits to wear when it’s hot out.

What To Wear For A Junk, Pool Or Beach Day

It’s always a good idea to stay near water during summer in Hong Kong, whether by chilling on a sandy beach, relaxing poolside or cruising on a junk boat. Whatever you pick, here’s the perfect breezy look to relax and take a dip in!

Sun damage is no joke! Be sure to wear a wide-brim hat, good quality sunscreen (don’t forget to re-apply!) and sunglasses. If you tend to misplace your sunnies, we love this affordable pair from Cotton On — stylish without breaking the bank.

And elevate your swimsuit with the right cover-up. This will help protect your skin from the sun and also allow you to go straight from the water to the bar with little effort.

“Junk, Pool Or Beach Day” — Look 1 Pieces

What To Wear To The Office In Summer

Arrive to work looking crisp and stylish in these tailored picks. For an effortless and modern look, we love layering luxurious textures like linen, soft modal and 100 percent organic cotton at the office — perfect if we couldn’t get away for a holiday this summer. Accessorise with sweatproof real jewellery, to prevent any green tarnish on skin or clothes (which you can risk in Hong Kong humidity!)

We love an open-collared shirt, slightly tucked in, instead of a blazer for a cooler feel that remains professional. Folding the cuff up is also a great way to style an oversized top.

“Summer Workwear” — Look 2 Pieces

What To Wear On A Night Out In Summer

Whether it’s a date night, a girl’s dinner or even a special occasion like a wedding — every celebration is a perfect excuse to get dressed up! Less is so much more with this look. To stop your silk satin from clinging to your body, make sure to moisturise to stop that annoying static from accumulating. If that doesn’t work, spray your legs with hair spray!

This is also the perfect dress and excuse to not wear a bra. If you’re looking for some coverage, allow us to point you towards nipple covers in your skin tone or “Hollywood” fashion tape to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. Seamless skin-tone underwear is also the perfect pairing for a sleek look.

“Summer Night Out” — Look 3 Pieces

What To Wear On A Casual Summer Weekend

Keep it cool and breezy on the weekend. Breathable natural fibres will be your go-to, so you stay comfortable in the summer heat, as sweat will easily escape and evaporate from the body (plus, you’ll sweat less!).

Viscose is a man-made fibre made from wood pulp that behaves like a natural fibre. It’s often cheaper and sometimes more sustainable than cotton. When washing it tends to shrink but will go back to its original size when steamed.

Sassy Tip: After washing, hang your dress up in the bathroom while you are taking a shower. There’ll be no need to iron and it’ll fit and look flawless every time!

“Casual Summer Weekend” — Look 4 Pieces

What To Wear Practically Anywhere In Summer

Maybe you’re off to a yoga class, heading out on a hike, going to the gym or running errands — look good as you’re moving around anytime, anywhere! Light layers and colours are key to pulling this one off.

“Moving Around Town” — Look 5 Pieces
