Theo, Ponahalo, Tshiamo: celebs suit up at Cruz X SA Fashion Week party

It's summer and there's no sin in embracing bright and bold colours. Monochrome looks can be best suited for day or night events. Try earthy tones for brunch gatherings, vibrant colours for daytime events and muted or warm tones for the evening. Look to style star Ponahalo for striking fabrics such as velour, satin or silk that can best be styled with contrasting accessories or beauty looks.

If there's one element you can always catch at local events, it's sequins. Reinvigorate formal attire with a bomber jacket as seen on Ephraim Molingoana that can still work with relaxed styling through shoes. Allow this to be your statement piece by not having any other studded or embellished details in your look.

However, if you're looking for drama, custom looks as seen on Wayne Stafford are probably best suited for you. Reimagine classic such as Stafford's hooded tuxedo jacket or all sequinned blazer dresses that look great with slicked back or wet look hairstyles.

All-white parties might be passe, but that doesn't mean you can't rock those looks. All-white ensembles, much like the Succession-famed old money aesthetic, have the advantage of giving an understated look a chic and glamorous finish.

Tshiamo Modisane allows her beauty look to shine in a business-ready minidress with matching shoes and jacket. The off-white clutch complements the clean styling while staying on trend as fashionistas drop designer mini-bags for larger than life bags.

Ray Neo Buso is a great example of how this palette allows you to embrace polished grooming sporting an all-white ensemble of trousers and a boxy fit jacket. This kind of styling allows neck pieces to stand out and cleavage to turn up the heat regardless of your gender. The more confident you are with a no make-up look or your physique, the less accessories needed.
