Festival Ready: Colour, Confidence and Summer Moments

Summer is my favourite excuse to dress a little louder. As the Wine & Food Festival approaches and Marlborough settles into its best season, I’m reaching for pieces that feel confident, fun and full of colour. Bold pinks, sunshine yellows and vibrant reds set the tone, with outfits designed for long afternoons, good food, great wine and soaking up every moment. 

Dresses Made for the Day

A great festival dress does the work for you. Easy to wear, comfortable enough to last all day and night, and polished enough to feel special, These are the pieces I reach for when the day is all about tastings, wandering and dancing between pours. They’re perfect for the Wine & Food Festival, and just as fitting for a relaxed afternoon at the Havelock Mussel Festival when summer plans call. 

Colour That Carries the Look.

When the colour is right, everything else falls into place. Strong hues and flattering silhouettes mean you don’t need to overthink your outfit. These are dresses that stand out in the sunshine and feel effortless from the moment you put them on.

Accessories That Matter

Festival dressing is all about the details. Sunglasses that feel a little elevated, a handbag that keeps your hands free and fits the essentials, and sun protection you’ll actually remember to use. These are the pieces that take a look from styled to smart, keeping you comfortable, confident and ready for a full day out.

Finishing Touches

Keep it simple and intentional. Comfortable shoes are a must, a pair of statement earrings and a bit of lippy to finish. The result is an outfit that feels considered without feeling overdone, letting you focus on the food, the wine and the company. 

This season at Thomas’s, it’ s about dressing for the moments that make summer memorable. Thoughtful accessories, effortless dresses and a wardrobe made for the Wine & Food Festival, with room for everything else summer brings.
