What to wear when venturing out again?
Ethical outfit inspiration and style tips for dressing up and going out as restrictions ease in the UK.
Are you looking for some ethical outfit inspiration? With restrictions easing in the UK, it’s exciting to know that we can now return to dressing up, going out and seeing friends and loved ones again. As indoor dining and pubs open their doors on 17th May and larger outdoor gatherings are allowed, it’s time to think about what to wear and to trade in those joggers for a more formal look. One of the things I've missed most during lockdown is eating out and I can’t wait to have a meal at my favourite restaurant.
If you’re looking to update your wardrobe, here are our top picks for what to wear to an outside gathering such as a BBQ, or a night out at a restaurant or pub.
Sustainable Outfits for a BBQ or Outside Gathering
Here are our tips for what to wear to a BBQ or garden party.
1. Layer Up and Keep Warm
Our organic cotton clothing is great for keeping cool as the weather warms up. If your heading to a friend or family's garden here's our top picks for what to wear.
It can be a bit chilly still at this time of year, so choose pieces that can be layered up with a cardigan or top underneath, or go for a maxi dress. Don't forget a scarf to wrap up with if the temperature drops.

2. Choose a print that reflects your style
When choosing a print, it’s a way to express your personality and mood. We love artisan block printing at Jenerous and our top picks are;
1. Pretty floral prints that are timeless and perfect for the summer.
2. Black and white prints are also a good choice, because classic monochrome always looks chic and is easy to accessorise.
3. We also love polka dots, as they are an all-time classic that never dates and suit most people.
Colour wise; blue is a big trend this season and we’ve got lots of options for you to choose from.

Ethical Occasion Outfits for a Night Out
It's been a while since we've had opportunity to dress up and go out, so here are some of our favourite looks for a night out. If you're looking forward to dressing up for a romantic meal out or meeting friends for a drink, why not choose an ethical occasion look.
When purchasing an occasion dress it’s best to choose an outfit that will last and can be styled in different ways, making it suitable for lots of events. Going for the classic LBD or something with some sparkle is always a great choice, as these won’t date, ensuring they stay as treasured pieces in your wardrobe for years to come.
If you find black a bit harsh, then indigo is a good alternative and is easy to accessorise with metallic accessories, if you don’t have matching shoes.
For a summer evening, why not try a cream lace dress that you can dress down with sandals during the day. Or wear a white broderie ruffle sleeve top paired with your favourite jeans for a night at the pub.
