Summer parties are one of the occasions that actively rewards committing to a strong colour rather than retreating to something safe and neutral. A confident cobalt, a sharp yellow, a strong coral or a deep fuchsia. Colours that photograph well in natural light and that make the outfit look like a genuine choice rather than something that just happened to be clean. Bold colour at a summer party reads as someone who dressed for the occasion rather than just dressed for the weather and that distinction matters more than it might seem when you are looking back at the photographs afterwards.
