Events are ramping up and with that comes a lot of decisions on what to wear, whether it’s wedding guest looks you need – city, countryside and destination venues bring their own set of dilemmas – the races with the girls, hen parties or non-work work events (Wimbledon or Henley Regatta hospitality, I’m looking at you). Summer dos that call for an elevated outfit, basically. There’s one high street shop that comes up time and again among the team as a go-to for super-chic occasion pieces that could pass for designer: Reiss.
The brand’s latest collection is full of gems and the stand-outs are those that fall under the ‘quiet luxury‘ aesthetic. We’re talking classic, pared-back pieces in neutral shades (or sorbet pastels if you go for colour), made from fabrics that drape elegantly and feel as good as they look. There’s suiting, dresses, jumpsuits and co-ords that echo the minimal aesthetic of the ‘stealth wealth’ brands like Khaite, The Row or Tove, in styles regularly worn by the movement’s poster girls. So if you want to channel the likes of Sofia Richie, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the Olsen twins and Succession’s Shiv Roy, scroll down for our picks from the range. Yes, these are investment pieces, but the beauty of the aesthetic is its timeless quality so look after your buys and you’ll be bringing them out season-on-season.

Chic dresses
From sleek maxis and monochrome linen, to of-the-moment one-shoulder and caped styles, there’s a ‘stealth wealth’ frock for all.
Stylish co-ords
Linen co-ords are everywhere this summer and this set is a super chic – style with a cami and mix and match all three pieces with other looks.
Guipure lace and balloon sleeves elevate this co-ord, which also comes in navy.
Minimal jumpsuits
It’s all about mixing up the necklines to add interest to a minimal jumpsuit.
Classic suiting
Reiss is synonymous with quality tailoring that punches above its price tag. The blazers and trousers will work as chic separates as well as a suit to maximise cost-per-wear. Add a waistcoat for an off-duty model vibe.
