An evening spent watching opera in the rolling hills of East Sussex is the hottest ticket of the English summer. Evening dress is expected, but if you’re spending the pre-performance or interval out on the lawns or gardens, then you’ll need a cosy wrap too.

The WrAp

Brora’s gauzy cashmere wrap will sit perfectly over your dress when you’re outside the concert hall (£159, brora.co.uk).

The AcceSSorieS

This sparkly glitter bag (£350, sophia Webster at matchesfashion.com) works brilliantly with the dress, while drop earrings (£48, anthropologie.com) are simple but glamorous.

The ShoeS

Wedges are a good choice for Glyndebourne’s expansive lawns, and these stunning jewelled patent ones are both practical and pretty (£275, sophia Webster at matchesfashion.com).

The DreSS

This dramatic dress has a smattering of gold and silver sequins for shimmer, pretty cap sleeves and a layered tulle skirt that feels dressy without being too overblown (£210, needle & Thread at net-a-porter.com). w&h
