The party piece with staying power, the black mini dress is a staple style in every late-night line-up. Updated for the season with semi-sheer inserts and flocked polka dots, this simple silhouette serves as the perfect blank canvas for after-dark accessorising – we love it with a silver sequin jacket and a metallic clutch for instant dancefloor decadence.
Firmly cementing its reputation as an after-dark favourite, the LBD is back with added sparkle. Metallic stripes and printed polka dots in multi-coloured hues lend an eye-catching element to its dark, inky palette, with a keyhole cut-out on the neck and a flattering hanky hemline revamps its simple silhouette. Complement the never-ending shimmer with an embellished clutch plus a pair of straw-strewn heels.
Off to a formal event? Never underestimate the impact of a black dress – and especially if it comes as glamorous as this. Hand-embellished by talented artisans, this floor-sweeping style is covered with sequin and bead flowers on tiered black mesh, making it the statement-maker of party season. Accentuate its opulence with plush velvet accessories in deep midnight blue.
Meet the dress that was made for dancing. Featuring a fringed design that nods to the roaring twenties, this LBD is reinvented for the modern day with a shorter length and a sheer mesh inset on the neckline, creating a sleek, sophisticated finish. Wear yours with block heels in black velvet, adding stand-out sparkle with a sequin clutch bag.
The drama of a black lace dress can never be denied. Finished with sheer detailing on the neckline and sleeves, this A-line midi will retain its timelessness year after year, whether worn for your next Christmas party or for dinner and drinks during the seasons ahead. Move it into the midnight hour with a star-embellished evening bag and glittery ankle boots in celestial silver.
