Ruth’s Summer Favourites: Wedding Guest Style with Shibumi
Wedding season is in full swing, and here at Shibumi we love nothing more than helping our customers find the perfect outfit for those special occasions.
This summer, our founder Ruth has handpicked some of her favourite pieces that strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and joyful colour, ideal for weddings.
With standard sizing from 6–26, and the option of fully bespoke tailoring, every Shibumi piece is designed to flatter all shapes and sizes so you can look and feel your absolute best.
The Vera Dress in Star
Simple, sophisticated, and endlessly flattering, the Vera Dress is Ruth’s go-to for elegant summer styling. Cut in pale gold raw silk, this fitted shift dress has a scoop neckline designed to show off your favourite jewellery. Inspired by Hollywood icon Vera Miles, it embodies understated glamour and works beautifully on all shapes and sizes. Perfect worn alone for a chic cocktail look or as the base layer to complement one of Shibumi’s statement coats.
The Lyra Coat in Mother of Pearl
Soft, feminine, and effortlessly elegant, the Lyra Coat is a Shibumi classic. In a delicate taupe-pink embroidered silk, this piece is designed with a curved collar, subtle waist detail and turn-back cuffs for a flattering finish. It’s one of Ruth’s favourites for summer weddings, especially for Mother of the Bride or Groom, as it suits all shapes and sizes and has that timeless quality you’ll wear again and again.
The Trench Coat in Paradise
For those who love colour, the Trench Coat in Paradise is a true showstopper. In a bright aqua raw silk, this coat is tailored with a high collar, covered buttons and an A-line silhouette that flatters the figure. Wear it belted for a defined hourglass shape or open for a softer, flowing feel. Ruth loves this piece because it brings a fresh, modern twist to traditional occasion wear, ideal for weddings by the sea or stylish summer parties.
The Avani Coat in Flame
If you want to make a bold entrance, the Avani Coat is the perfect choice. Tailored in hot orange raw silk, it’s a vibrant, joyful piece that radiates confidence. With its curved collar and delicate button detailing, the Avani is elegant yet playful, a true celebration coat.
Ruth loves recommending this one for summer weddings where guests want to embrace colour and stand out for all the right reasons.
Whether you’re looking for soft, romantic tones or something bright and dramatic, Ruth’s favourites show just how versatile Shibumi occasion wear can be. Each piece is beautifully tailored, timeless in design, and made to make you feel like the very best version of yourself.
