5 Pretty Summer Trends That Are Perfect for Wearing to the Chelsea Flower Show
Finally, the weather has turned a corner and it looks like we're in for a sunny season at last. For nature enthusiasts, there's no better way to enjoy summer's newfound sun than a trip to London's esteemed Chelsea Flower Show. Running from 21 to 25 May, the five-day event promises inspired garden designs and charming floral displays en masse and has been known to attract local celebrities and some of the city's best dressed year after year.
If you've carved out time for a day in the heart of Chelsea this week then you'll likely be in the market for a dose of styling inspiration. With the recent change in temperatures, it can take some time to reacquaint yourself with your warm-weather-wardrobe, so I've done the research and pulled together five fail-safe outfits that will ensure you feel comfortable, put-together and right at home with the stylish bunch.
WHAT IS THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW DRESS CODE?
The Chelsea Flower Show doesn't have a strict dress code, but guests are encouraged to dress in "smart/casual" attire. This means that dresses, skirts and trousers are all welcome, but you may want to leave your trainers at home for this event.
Read on to discover what to wear to the Chelsea Flower Show 2024.
WHAT TO WEAR TO THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW 2024
1. PRETTY PRINTS
Style Notes: There's no better time to reach for your favourite pretty prints than when amongst vivid flowers and stunning botanical displays. From draped dresses to printed skirts, this summer-ready trend is ideal for daytime styling.
SHOP PRINTED DRESSES:
Style with straight-leg jeans or loose, wide linen trousers.
2. A COOL CO-ORD
Style Notes: High impact, low effort—a matching set is the easiest way to ensure you look put-together and polished all day. Select a matching trouser suit for an elevated take or opt for a sleek shorts combo for a more playful feel.
SHOP CO-ORDS:

This elegant set is perfect for summer events.
3. LIGHT LINENS
Style Notes: For a day spent wandering around in the spring sun, there's no material that will better equip you than light linen layers. Opt for a dress or trending linen vest for a fresh, summer-ready look you'll feel comfortable in all day long.
SHOP LINEN PIECES:
This rich terracotta shade looks so good with bright whites and creams.
This pretty pink shade works so well with dark brown and burgundy.

4. A COTTON SKIRT

With a pretty, summer-ready energy, this classically "feminine" trend is a natural choice for the daytime event.
