Our Lottie Dress 5 Ways!

Our Lottie Dress 5 Ways!

There are very few pieces in a wardrobe that can genuinely do it all. The kind of dress you reach for again and again - not because it’s the only option, but because it’s always the right one. The KaHo Lottie is exactly that dress.

Designed with elegance and comfort at its heart, the Lottie has an effortless quality that makes styling it feel less like a task and more like a pleasure. Its silhouette is timeless without being predictable, its fabric moves beautifully in the summer heat, and its versatility is - quite frankly - remarkable. From a sun-drenched polo lawn to the velvet seats of the opera house, this is a dress that transitions between occasions with ease.

This summer, we’ve been exploring just how far the Lottie can take you. The answer, it turns out, is everywhere. Whether you’re dressing it down for a casual summer lunch or wearing it to celebrate someone you love the Lottie holds its own beautifully - adapting to your occasion, your accessories, and your mood without ever losing what makes it so special.

Occasion 1: Graduation/ Speech Day

This look includes: Blue Velvet Jacket, KaHo Prints. Blue Honeycomb Lottie Dress, KaHo Prints. Polo Rectangular Cat-Eye Sunglasses, Ralph Lauren. Gold Plated Link Earrings, Ralph Lauren. Rondelle Bracelet, Handley Green Jewellery. Brown Woven Knot Handle Bag, Mint Velvet. High Catalina Dali Espadrille Lemon, Penelope Chilvers. 

Occasions like these call for something that feels special without being overdone - and the Lottie is quietly perfect for it. Elevating the look with a wedge heel adds elegance without sacrificing comfort through what can be a long and joyful day. A velvet jacket can bring some warmth in these unpredictable British summers without compromising on style while a stylish bag finishes the outfit with polish. Jewellery can be a little more considered here - gold earrings, a delicate bracelet, a classic watch. This is a look for celebrating, and the Lottie carries with it the kind of quiet confidence that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person.

Occassion 2: Polo/Tennis Day Out 

This look includes: Blue and Pink Climbing Flower Lottie Dress, KaHo Prints. Natural Raffia Sun Hat, Nobody’s Child. Sunglasses Oba in Tigris Brown, Meller. Fresh Water Pearl 3-Bead Mini Hoop Earrings, Charlotte Knapman. Cubic Zirconia T Bar Coin Link Necklace, Estelle Bartlett. Chunky Gold Bracelet, Handley Green Jewellery. Raffia Effect Clutch Bag in Natural, Reiss. High Valenciana Dali Espadrille Lilac, Penelope Chilvers. 

There’s something about a summer sports event that calls for effortless, breezy dressing - and the KaHo Lottie rises to the occasion beautifully. Think understated glamour: let the dress do the talking with a pair of low-heeled wedge espadrilles or block-heel sandals in a natural tan or cream. A small clutch bag keeps things chic without trying too hard, and a wide-brimmed hat adds just the right amount of occasion-dressing. Accessories should stay minimal - a simple gold chain, oversized sunglasses, and you’re court-side ready. The Lottie’s elegant silhouette means you’ll glide from the stands to the champagne bar without missing a beat.

Occasion 3: An Evening at The Opera

This look includes: Red Velvet Jacket, KaHo Prints. Pink Reverse Trellis Lottie Dress, KaHo Prints. Magenta Pink Garnet & Pink Candy Pink Mustique Teardrop Earrings, Charlotte Knapman. Maya Gold & Pink Beaded Friendship Bracelet and Juniper Gold & Pink Tourmaline Double Strand Bracelet, Boho Betty. Puffball Velvet Clutch in Marmalade, Penelope Chilvers. Boris Shoes, Flabelus. 

Here the Lottie steps fully into its most elegant form. This is an occasion for dressing with intention. Paired with some chic flat velvet shoes so we do not sink into the grass at Glyndebourne alongside a velvet jacket, the Lottie looks elegant and deserving of a night at the Opera. Accessories should make a statement: teardrop earrings, layered bracelets, an elegant clutch in matching velvet all work together to complete the look. The beauty of the Lottie in this setting is that it carries the grandeur of the occasion without ever feeling overdone — sophisticated, confident, and entirely unforgettable.

Occasion 4: Girls Lunch

This look includes: Pink and Green Climbing Flower Lottie Dress, KaHo Prints. Pearl & Crystal Charm Bracelet in Gold, Astrid & Miyu. Molten Hoops in Gold, Astrid & Miyu. A Touch of Powder Nail Polish, Nailberry. YouYou Cognac Suede Sack Bag, BA&SH. Novella Suede Stud Detail Mule Sandals in Tan, 

This is the occasion for a little more personality. Style the Lottie with a colourful heel or a printed flat mule, and don’t shy away from bolder accessories - a statement earring, or match your heels and bag for a sophisticated look. Layer with a light knit cardigan or a silk camisole underneath if the restaurant is cool. Keep the makeup fun, the jewellery stacked, and the heels high enough to feel celebratory. Lunch with your favourite people deserves an outfit that’s just as spirited. The Lottie is perfect in this situation as when you are with close friends you want to be comfortable and have fun and in this dress you can be confident you’ll be doing both. 

Occasion 5: Summer Lunch/ BBQ

This look includes: Green Reverse Trellis Lottie Dress, KaHo Prints. The Hemley Fedora in Natural with Fawn Ribbon, Hicks & Brown. Olive Peridot & Single Gold Nugget Stretchy Gemstone Bracelet, Charlotte Knapman. Outta Love Oval-Frame Polycarbonate Sunglasses in Caramel, Le Specs. Payson Double Row Green Enamel Hoop Earrings, Oliver Bonas. Striped Claw Clip, Mimi & Lulu. Mini Straw Tote Bag, Phase Eight. Pierre Sand Shoes, Flabelus. 

Relaxed doesn’t have to mean reaching for the denim shorts. The Lottie proves that comfort and style are never mutually exclusive - and a sunny afternoon in the garden is the perfect place to show it. Style it with flat tan sandals and a basket bag for that easy, warm-weather feel. Keep jewellery casual - layered delicate necklaces and small hoop earrings strike exactly the right note. Hair up in a cute claw clip or soft waves keeps things effortless and practical when the temperature climbs. This is summer dressing at its most joyful: comfortable enough to last from midday to sunset, stylish enough that you’ll still feel entirely yourself.

The Great British Summer is nothing if not unpredictable and the KaHo Lottie is ready for every moment it brings. From sun-drenched afternoons on the polo lawn to candlelit evenings at the opera, one dress carries you effortlessly through it all. Elegant enough for the grandest occasions, relaxed enough for the simplest pleasures. The Lottie is, quite simply, all the summer wardrobe you need.
