Getting the dress code right is essential for a smooth entry to Luna. The official dress code is Smart & Elegant, and the door team enforces it consistently. Here's everything you need to know to dress appropriately and enjoy your night at one of Mayfair's top venues.
Dress Code at Luna
Luna maintains one of the stricter dress codes among London's premium nightclubs. The "Smart & Elegant" policy reflects the venue's upscale positioning — this is a place where guests take pride in their appearance, and the door team expects you to do the same.
The door team at Luna makes the final call on entry, and dress code is one of the main factors they consider. Even with a guestlist spot, you can be turned away if your outfit doesn't meet the standard.
What to Wear: Women
For women, Luna is an opportunity to dress up. Think cocktail dresses, tailored jumpsuits, or a sharp blouse-and-skirt combination. Heels are the norm, though stylish heeled boots work well in cooler months. Statement accessories — earrings, a clutch bag, a bold lip — complete the look.
What to Wear: Men
For men, Luna expects polished outfits. A well-fitted shirt (tucked in or untucked, depending on cut) with smart trousers and dress shoes is the standard. Blazers are welcome but not required. Dark jeans can work if they're slim-fit and paired with smart shoes and a proper shirt.
What NOT to Wear
Regardless of the night, the following items will almost certainly get you refused entry at Luna:
- Sportswear — tracksuits, joggers, athletic shorts, gym wear
- Athletic trainers — any trainers or sneakers, even designer ones
- Flip-flops or sandals — open-toe shoes for men are never acceptable
- Caps and headwear — baseball caps, beanies, and similar headwear
- Shorts — regardless of how smart they look
- Workwear — hi-vis, uniforms, or anything that looks like you've come straight from a shift
Dress Code by Night
The dress code at Luna is consistent across both Friday and Saturday. Saturday tends to be marginally stricter in practice, but you should always aim for the top end of "Smart & Elegant" to ensure smooth entry.
