HIGH TEA ATTIRE FOR WOMEN

Have you been invited as a guest to high tea, but have no idea what to wear?
It’s no doubt you want to look your best, so we are here to help you learn all
about high tea dress code, what the best outfit choices, are and what to avoid.

And, we’ve got the perfect looks, whether you’ll be dressing up for a really

WHAT IS HIGH TEA?

High tea is a light meal typically eaten in the afternoon, and it usually
consists of sandwiches, scones, and pastries. It is a British tradition, and it
is often eaten as a break from work or on a special occasion.



Traditionally high tea was actually eaten in the evening after work by the
working class; however, today, high tea and afternoon tea are often used
interchangeably. 

When you’re invited to the “tea” part of high tea, you should expect a more
formal event or party that consists of light bites such as small sandwiches and
finger foods. In addition to tea, it is also traditional to be served champagne
during high tea.

WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A HIGH TEA?

When you’re invited to high tea, you’ll want to dress in a more formal manner.
But, since you’ll be eating and drinking you’ll also want to be comfortable.
Below are a some perfect high tea outfit ideas to choose from:


 * floral knee-length or midi dress 
 * midi skirt and a dressy blouse
 * classic black dress (knee length or longer with a conservative neckline is
   best)
 * tailored pants and blazer 
 * matching tweed pant or skirt set
 * dressy jumpsuit
 * tailored pants and a dressy blouse

@thelaneldn


DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR A DRESS TO HIGH TEA? 

Traditionally a dress or skirt was most appropriate for high tea. But, nowadays
there is more flexibility on what you can wear as long as you lean towards a
more smart casual, conservative, or formal style.



Some great options for high tea attire include:

 * Pretty midi-length or maxi dresses and skirts
 * A conservative blouse and dress pants or trousers
 * A twinset, skirt-set, or pant-suit
 * A cardigan with a knee-length dress


@laura_lily


WHAT COLORS SHOULD YOU WEAR TO HIGH TEA?

While there are no set rules for what colors you should or shouldn’t wear to
high tea, it is generally advised to avoid neon colors and overly loud patterns.
High tea is a more formal event, so you want your tea party outfit to reflect
that.

Some great color and pattern options for high tea include:

 * White
 * Cream or Ivory
 * Navy
 * Grey
 * Pastels (blush, mist blue, sage green, etc.)
 * Subtle floral prints or polka dots



If you choose to wear something brighter, it is good to pair it with a neutral
color and subtle accessories.

WHAT SHOES SHOULD YOU WEAR TO HIGH TEA?

The best shoes to wear to high tea are comfortable but also stylish. High heels
are an option, but if you’re going to be walking around a lot or standing for
long periods, it’s best to choose a mid or low heel, or even flats.



Some great shoe options for high tea include:

 * Ballet flats
 * Loafers
 * Mules
 * Kitten heels
 * Pumps
 * Peep-toe heels

CAN YOU WEAR PANTS TO HIGH TEA?

Because high tea is a more formal event, dresses or skirts are typically seen as
the ideal option over pants. However, pants can be worn to high tea if they are
well-tailored, made with a nice material, and dressed-up with the right shoes,
top, and accessories. 



If you choose to wear pants, make sure they are well-fitting and made of a nice
fabric, and avoid jeans and athletic pants.

Some great pant options for high tea include:

 * Dress pants
 * Wide leg trousers
 * Cropped trousers

@blaireadiebee


DO YOU WEAR A HAT TO HIGH TEA?

There is no rule saying you have to wear a hat to high tea, but it is definitely
an option. If you choose to wear a hat, make sure it coordinates with your
outfit and is more formal in style.



Some excellent hat options for high tea include:

 * Small brimmed hat
 * Fascinator
 * Pillbox hat

Alternatively, you can wear a chic headband with pearl or silk details.

HIGH TEA DRESS CODE

If you’re attending high tea and are not entirely sure what to wear, you may
want to stick to a traditional tea dress code. 



Below are some guidelines to help you decide what to wear:

 * High tea is a formal occasion, so you’ll want to dress accordingly. 
 * Hats are not required, but they can add a touch of elegance to your outfit. 
 * Gloves are not required, but they can also add a refined look.
 * High heels are not required, but they can make you look more dressed up. 
 * A dress or skirt is always a good choice for high tea. 
 * If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, make sure it is at least knee-length. 
 * A blouse or lightweight sweater is an excellent choice.
 * Pants or trousers can be worn to high tea, just avoid denim, leggings, and
   overly casual pant styles. 
 * Choose a nice pair of dress shoes or heels to complete your outfit.


5 HIGH TEA ATTIRE OUTFIT IDEAS TO TRY

High tea is typically a more formal event, so you’ll want to dress accordingly.
Here are five great outfit ideas to get you started.


THE WHITE PANT SUIT



<

While it might not be your typical outfit for an afternoon, pants suits are an
excellent option for those wanting to look polished at high tea. Choose a
well-tailored pair of pants and match them with a sleek blazer.

Add a pretty blouse or camisole underneath, and finish the look with some nude
heels. For an extra high tea touch, add a pillbox hat or fascinator in the same
color as the pants suit. 




THE PRETTY FLORAL DRESS

If you want to go the more traditional route, a pretty floral print dress is
always a safe bet for an afternoon enjoying high tea. Opt for a knee-length
dress or longer and made of a light, airy fabric. 



Add a cardigan, cropped tweed jacket, or blazer to add a sophisticated layer.
And finish the look with a pair of ballet flats or low heels.


THE HIGH TEA JUMPSUIT

Yes, you can definitely wear a jumpsuit to high tea!

Choose a dressy jumpsuit in a solid color or pretty print. While a jumpsuit is a
more playful choice for high tea, it can still look very sophisticated and
refined in a full-length style (avoid short rompers).

Go with a soft flowy fabric like linen or silk, and pair it with heels and
dainty jewelry to finish the look. You can also add a cardigan or blazer if you
want to cover your arms.


A BLOUSE & COLORFUL SKIRT

Midi skirts are still having a moment in 2023, making for a great high tea
outfit option. Choose a skirt in a pretty print or a pastel color and pair it
with a simple white blouse or sweater. 

Add kitten heels or comfortable pumps, and go with a sleek hairstyle, hat, or
dressy headband to complete the look. And, if you are enjoying High Tea in
London, be sure to check out these South London Parks and sport your stylish
outfit. 


A TWEED SET

This is a great high tea outfit combo.



Choose a matching skirt set in tweed, or go with a cropped tweed blazer and
tweed pants. There are so many different options for matching tweed sets, we’re
sure you’ll find one to suit your personal style!

Add some dainty jewelry, a neutral purse, low heels or ballet flats, and you’ll
be all set for an afternoon at high tea!

something more modern? Whatever you choose, make sure you feel confident and
