The piece
How to choose and wear a dress
A simple day dress, knee to midi length. One piece that makes a whole outfit, and changes character completely with the shoes and layer you add.
How to choose
- A shape that marks the waist (A-line, fit-and-flare, belted) works on most builds.
- Fabrics with some weight hang better and crease less.
- Black, navy and a deep colour you love before prints.
Common mistakes
- ✕Too many accessories on a patterned dress.
- ✕A long cardigan that hides the shape.
- ✕The same sandals for day and a formal evening.
Care: Follow the fabric; hang to keep the shape, steam out creases.
In a capsule: One dress covers work, dinner and weekends with three pairs of shoes.
