We love the idea of approaching the ultimate girly party with some cool irony. In this case, try a slim suit that is equal parts Annie Hall and Keith Richards. A navy or dark suit works best worn with a simple white tee or ‘70s-inspired blouse.
While a strappy little heel can add a dose of femininity, a sweet oxford shoe will complete your menswear-inspired look with a wink.
Play with proportions by trying an ultra-wide leg pant (a trouser, perhaps?) with a ladylike blouse.
Add impact by picking a blouse with sweet flutter sleeves or dainty details, such as lace or embroidery.
Revive your maxi dresses by adding a smart blazer. A floral frock turns edgy with the addition of a little black jacket and some chunkier, rock-inspired jewellery.
Opt for a ‘60s-inspired dress that is fuller in proportion and cool in colour. An opaque tight will keep you properly covered, and a chunkier pump or heeled oxfords will help balance your head-to-toe look.
