It’s the season of booked-up calendars, and our wardrobes have never looked better because of it.
From weddings and graduations, to summer garden parties, christenings, nights down the pub with friends and so much more, longer days and warmer weather calls for more get togethers and hangouts – and the need for a perfect outfit for every occasion.
Whether you’re shopping for formal dresses and maxi skirts or sharply-tailored suits and smart blazers, Buchanan Galleries has a look for all your plans this summer so you can be sure that no matter the event in your diary, you never have to worry about a dress code again.
