It’s the start of summer and your social calendar is filling up fast. One weekend it's a wedding, the next it’s the office summer party, and then you’re hopping on a coach to head to the races. Whether you're sitting in a pew or settling into a picnic spot, one question remains the same: what do I wear?

Fortunately, there are a few trusty brands you can always count on for occasionwear—and Phase Eight is a firm favourite. The brand even has an entire section on its website dedicated to every kind of event, featuring everything from jumpsuits and printed midi dresses to polished jackets that take the guesswork out of getting dressed.

Or, if you already have a go-to outfit in mind, a carefully chosen accessory can totally transform it. A fascinator or hat brings a dash of glamour for more formal settings. A statement shoe can instantly elevate a pared-back look. And a chic cover-up has the power to completely change the aesthetic—proof that the art of outfit repeating lies in how you style it.

All of these wardrobe heroes (and more) can be found in Phase Eight’s summer occasionwear collection. Plus, the brand is the official partner of Goodwood, making race day dressing exceptionally easy. So, consider this your solution to every “I have nothing to wear” dilemma. Scroll on to discover our favourite picks for the season ahead.
