Dress for the occasion with PrettyLittleThing.

 

Want to restyle your occasion wear once the ceremony is over? This is how.

Occasion, on rotation. Because once isn’t enough.

 

That oversized blazer. Dress it down with denim. Or a tailored trouser if still wanting smart casual.

Not only will you be channelling corpcore but this look is timeless and a must if heading into the office.

When it comes to occasion dresses, footwear is key to help dress down the look for restyling. Make it effortless by simply switching your heels to sandals.

Not forgetting your accessories, add an oversized bag and trending sunglasses to make things feel a little more casual.

Ideal for drinks, dinner dates and whatever else is on your agenda.

This styling technique also works across floral, printed, bold and bright occasion dresses.

Go ahead, wear them everywhere — we won’t judge.

Maxi, or midaxi skirts are officially back. Just in time for spring (and occasion plans).

Similar to dresses, swapping your shoes and accessories is one of the easiest ways to restyle an occasion skirt.

Not forgetting tops too, add a casual t-shirt or vest to dress down those much-loved occasion skirts.

Speaking of spring comebacks, capri pants (or pedal pushers) are back and better than ever.

Not only that but they are ideal for styling with tailoring. Cinched waist blazers for an occasion then restyled for mid-week plans?

We’re obsessed (and you should be too).

Shirts with shorts. Cycling shorts, boxer shorts or even hotpants.

Adding an athleisure take to your tailored shirt is an easy way to rewear it on repeat.

This also works well when wanting to restyle your tailored shirts with skirts.

Loafers are not only trending right now but perfect to complete a look like this, making it more cool and less corporate.
