Coast SS17 Collection

When you've got a formal event, a wedding or a party, or a day at the Races look no further than Coast. Every time I went there I could find something for those tricky events where you need to dress up but you don't want to dent your bank account. Also Coast is a one stop for all when thinking of accessorising your outfit with jewellery, bags and shoes. There is a section for everyday smart dresses as well. I've picked few looks from their SS17 collection. Some might not been in store yet but knowing  it, you can chase your favourite look and you can dash to the shop in order to be the first one to purchase it.

I love these trousers with a split wide leg in a bright red colour. At the moment they are available in black but check the stores and you can manage to secure this beauty. The top also is a preview. The outfit is perfect for who is not very keen on wearing a dress or skirt, but still wants to look feminine and smart.

This Bodice is very versatile. Here it is paired up with a maxi two tones plated skirt but it is perfect with a pair of smart trousers or to jazz up a pair of denim. Just add the right accessorises like a pair of heels and a clutch and regarding jewellery the best options are a pair of earrings and a statement bracelet. No need for a necklace given that the bow of the bodice makes the  bust already ornate.

This peplum hem dress with its cobalt blue colour will be great on any skin tone and very easy to accessorise, like this great clutch with  big micro fibre bow on the front and clasp. The dress will be great for a wedding or a summer party, one of those dresses that won't be left on your wardrobe but it will be used on many occasions.

This gingham dress is so St Tropez style and paired up with the right accessorises it will be great for a party or brought it with you on holiday. The cut is very flattering and the one shoulder neckline will highlight your bust. Accessorise it with something colourful and a red lipstick.

This A line midi dress has got the stripe trend of this season pinned down. Its multi coloured pattern makes it easy to choose bags and shoes. Stack a series of multicoloured bangles on your arms and depending on the shoes you are wearing, either heels or a platform, you can give a complete different vibe to your look.

Coast has got a great range of fashion jewellery with many in the very popular rose gold colour. You can match earrings and bracelets or necklaces and plan your whole outfit under one roof, trying on dresses and see how that particular necklace that caught your eyes could look like.
