About Formal Wear for Women
Explore formal wear at SAPPHIRE UK for occasions that call for something dressier than an everyday outfit. Our formal dresses feature rich embroidery and detailed prints on fabrics with a soft sheen, so very little styling is needed. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours at a family function, dinner, or party. Browse our ready to wear range for women to find the right outfit for your occasion.
Formal Styles in the Collection
Our formal collection has two piece and three piece suits, kaftans, and shirts in embroidered and printed designs. Pick a suit for a complete set, or a shirt or kaftan to choose your own bottoms and dupatta.
Two Piece Suits
Two piece suits are the simplest choice, with nothing to coordinate. Embroidered suits have rich threadwork for parties and family events, and printed suits have a lighter look for dinners and daytime gatherings.
Three Piece Suits
Three piece suits include the dupatta, so the full outfit is ready in one set. They are a good choice for special occasions when you do not want to plan each piece. Our outfits have both two piece and three piece sets.
Kaftans
Kaftans have a loose, relaxed fit and a glossy shine. They are light and comfortable, and an easy choice for evenings out. Wear them with straight or flared pants for a clean line.
Shirts
Our formal shirts have fine embroidery or detailed prints. Wear them with solid bottoms for a simple look, or with embroidered bottoms for a coordinated one.
Formal Fabrics and Colours
Our formal outfits are made in raw silk, silk, net, and charmeuse, which have a soft shine and a rich look. Pink, red, yellow, and green are bright colours for family events and celebrations. Black and blue are good for dinners and evenings, while beige, white, and off-white are softer colours for the daytime.
Styling Formal Wear
Keep the finishing touches simple, because the outfit already has plenty of detail. Small gold studs or a thin chain are enough for embroidered suits, and you can add bolder earrings or a necklace to plainer suits. Wear dupattas loosely over one shoulder for a relaxed look, or over both shoulders for a more formal one. You can choose flats or heels in nude, gold, or black for most colours, and add a small clutch for an evening look.
