With the Coronation and its subsequent parties just around the corner, it’s time to start planning your outfit. Seeing as the celebrations kick off early in the day, you’ll want an ensemble which is stylish (that’s a given) but also comfortable enough to spend a large portion of the day in. I know this is a tall order, so I’ve stepped in to curate a selection of outfits that look polished but feel up to the task at hand.
First on my list is a dress the entire Who What Wear team have been eyeing of late—an easy throw-on midi from COS, which will look just as good with tan slider sandals as metallic heels. Speaking of metallic heels, why not use a pair to elevate a pretty jeans-and-white blouse combination.
If the weather allows, chances are a significant number of Coronation parties will spill out into the outdoors. This, however, is still Britain, so you best come prepared. Peppered throughout are classic over-up options—from tailored blazers to classic knitwear—which shouldn’t be overlooked and that you’ll be especially glad of if the weather turns.
Scroll on to see five stylish outfits that I hope will help you decide what to wear to a Coronation party and free up some of your time for more important things, such as perfecting your Pimm’s recipe or working out whether you prefer jam then cream or cream then jam on your celebratory Coronation scone.
