Summer means weddings, right? Not to mention all of the other dressy occasions soon to be filling your diary, like graduation, work summer parties and christenings. If this fills you with dread - fear not! We've got tips for finding your capsule wardrobe of mix 'n' match accessories and stand out pieces that will see you through all of your fancy summer events.

Look for classic shapes with flamboyant touches, like the jewelled collar on Ted Baker’s chic sleeveless top, or Reiss’s purple shift, updated with lace sleeves, which will turn heads paired with Ted Baker’s statement silver sequin jacket.

When it comes to accessories, go for staple buys you can wear again and again. A metallic shoe is a party essential, and one of this season's must haves, it'll go great with your glam outfits, but also dress up denim for those after work drinks or bank holiday sessions. Need a bag? Keep it metallic with a little silver clutch. And of course, what summer outfit would be complete without the perfect pair of sunnies?
