Phase Eight’s new-in occasionwear

This stunning V-neck dress is a great choice for race days

Phase Eight Natalia Floral Dress, £189

Phase Eight’s Natalia Dress features a V-neckline, balloon sleeves and delicate pleats, finished with a waist-cinching belt that ties at the front.

Florals are a staple for summer weddings, and the elegant purple print would look stunning styled with neutral heels and a clutch bag.

The timeless style is also suitable for race days, and I could see it being paired with a pastel pink fascinator for Ladies Day.

Phase Eight Keegan Ruffle Dress, £169

Phase Eight’s Keegan dress would look fab paired up with some espadrilles

Phase Eight Keegan Ruffle Dress, £169

This Keegan dress is just stunning with its emerald green shade and bold ruffle trim.

The asymmetric ruffle detailing creates a tiered effect, falling to the ankle with a maxi cut.

Suitable for weddings, holidays and other special occasions, the Phase Eight number will look just as stylish with a pair of cream heels as it would with espadrille sandals.

The fitted dress could be worn over a smoothing bodysuit to enhance the silhouette.
