What to wear for michelin-starred lunch? Elegant but not too dressy/eveningy?

I’m going to Le Manoir aux Quat’saisons for my 30th birthday but going for lunch. All occasion wear or wedding guest dress edits online are super dressy and look more for evening. I want something elegant but daytime appropriate, and also sleeves as going on Dec 1st - budget up to £250ish. Something timeless, flattering and elegant. Any ideas?!

I would have a look at Max Mara and Reformation.

La Manoir is a beautiful place to be in December. It is perfectly acceptable to wear something with a bit sparkle at a lunch as it is a festive period.
What about a silk slip dress with an elegant cardigan with a bit of sparkle?
Or a sequin skirt with camisole top and a cashmere or fluffy cardigan or jumper.
Also a lovely velvet blazer would also work as well.
Top tip, make sure you get to walk around the grounds of the manor and take a stroll by the pond to see the wonderful sculptures too. ENJOY!!

Thank you so much for these suggestions!! I have gone with a sparkly cardi and silk skirt as you suggested! Cannot wait, sounds gorgeous and I’m sure will be memorable.

Have you considered a really classy white shirt and beautiful trousers or skirt! WNU do some fab ones. You can use the code WNUVIP20x2 for 20% off at the moment (walk don’t run)

I would do a suit with a cool chunky belt and accessories!
