Classy Styles for What to Wear to Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is known for its classy vibes and chatty atmosphere, a fun and tasty experience to share with loved ones. And while the food is full of mini treats, knowing what to wear when visiting a 5 Star hotel or boutique store for their delicious delights can often be tricky – so we have made it easy for you with a selection of stylish looks.

Think elegant necklines and longer lengths, as well as floral prints, colour block and lace. Keep in mind breathing space and, dare we say, eating space when sitting down sipping on an Earl Grey or glass of Prosecco too, a little bit of stretch in the material will go a long way.

Debehams on Henry Street has an array of brands and labels in store, which cater to all sorts of occasion, especially the Afternoon Tea styles. You’ll find tea length dresses, full maxi cuts and a variety of price ranges to suit your budget.
