How to

1. Read the invitation. Use the host's stated formality to choose a dress, tailored separates or a smart shirt and trousers already in your wardrobe.
2. Check the ground. Lawn, gravel and paths may make very narrow heels impractical. Smart flats or broader heels can be easier, subject to venue instructions.
3. Walk in the shoes before the event. Check heel slip, traction and comfort for standing. Don't assume that all flats or block heels are equally stable.
4. Coordinate clothes with footwear. Try a plain midi dress with low heels and a light cardigan, or a shirt and trousers with loafers and a jacket. Adjust to the requested dress code.
5. Plan for weather and time. Bring a packable layer for the evening, consider rain and check that long hems won't drag on wet ground.
6. Do a full outfit check before leaving: invitation, shoes, outer layer and small bag. A familiar comfortable outfit is usually more practical than an unnecessary last-minute purchase.

One more tip

Follow the host's venue and dress-code guidance first. Narrow heels can sink into turf, but flat or block-heel shoes still need a stable sole and a comfortable fit.
