The Chelsea flower show is all about glamour, stand-out designs and beautiful presentations, so why should what you wear to attend be any different. The horticultural show held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea every year is definitely an event worth getting dressed up for. The lovely spring weather means a great day dress will be perfect, but the unpredictable English weather means you can always be stylishly prepared with a formal jacket.
FLOWER SHOWER COLOUR SCHEMES
Being surrounded by world-class show gardens means you’re likely to blossom in floral prints. But if you’re looking for more versatile pieces, picking full beautiful garden colours like green, blue, yellow, pink, purple and even white will serve you well. For this Chelsea flower show outfit inspiration, a beautiful emerald maxi dress is the fashion focal piece. Not only will it stand out, but it’ll be the perfect complement to your event surroundings.
Similar to what to wear to a garden tea party, you’ll want your footwear to be stylish yet practical and comfortable because you’ll spend a lot of time walking. Some chic flats or wedges will look great and be practical.
WHAT ACCESSORIES TO WEAR
For accessories, keep your look minimal and elegant, styled with some lovely earrings and a classic watch. When it comes to watches, two-tone pieces are easy to style and make a statement. They can be worn with a variety of jewellery and outfits. For this look, in keeping with the green and complementary rose gold tones, a silver and rose gold watch is an elegant piece.
The versatility of this outfit means that you can also wear it for a fancy Sunday brunch or a similar semi-formal event. But unlike the garden tea party outfit inspiration, you’ll want to avoid wearing a hat for the Chelsea flower show. As you’ll be experiencing exquisite exhibitions, retail therapy and delicious dining, a hat will not be the most practical accessory amongst hundreds of other guests. Of course, chic sunglasses are acceptable, and lipstick is desirable. Finally, a pretty handbag like the rose gold option finishes off the look fabulously.
