Semi Formal Outfits For Ladies

Semi-formal or smart casual occasions can be the trickiest to dress for. You don’t want to dress down too much but equally, you don’t want to dress up to the nines either. Being a country lady, you always want to dress smartly but with a feminine touch. These semi-formal outfits for ladies will have you looking just the part for any event.

Your footwear is the vital piece that can take your outfit instantly from casual to smart. A pair of clean knee-high boots are our favourite type of footwear to pair with jeans, skirts, and jodhpurs for a smart-casual look. Whether you go for leather or suede, both materials look just as smart as the other. Keeping your boots clean is a must, so make sure to protect them regularly as well as wipe them after every use. 

For an extra boost, how about trying heeled boots to add to your smart outfit? Our heeled Chelsea boots are a popular design for ladies who want to wear heels but make sure that they’re comfortable! Our styles have a sturdy tread so you can walk around all day in them if you wish.

A dressy outfit for ladies wouldn’t be complete without a fitted collared shirt. A classic country-checked version is a staple in our customers’ wardrobes, and many of you own multiple colourways! We also love a more neutral shirt featuring a subtle country pattern. The key to smarter outfits is to pick a smaller pattern so it doesn’t stand out as much.

Adding in a tweed piece is also another way to elevate your outfit. A tweed skirt is a lovely winter option with a pair of thermal tights underneath, as it’s a dressy piece without being too formal. If you want to add a dramatic layer, a tweed poncho will do the trick.
