Black dresses for women are as versatile as they are stylish and are one of the most reliable pieces a woman can have in her wardrobe. Accordingly, the collection of black dresses comprises multiple silhouettes and cuts. Mini, midi and maxi hemlines provide choice with length, while body-skimming, A-line and voluminous designs deliver options when it comes to fit. Halterneck, camisole, waistcoat, off-the-shoulder and bandeau black dresses come in myriad finishes that cater to black-tie dress codes as well as casual events. The black dress gets a makeover in crochet, silky-satin, ribbed and stretchy cotton, denim and leather in this collection to ensure there are tough-talking as well as laid-back styles to choose from. The edit also arrives with statement detailing, such as cut-out inserts, ruffles, shoulder pads, embroidery and appliqué. Elsewhere, prints and patterns – such as stripes, paisley, gingham, tie-dye, florals and animal-print – add individuality. Logos and slogans bring a street-smart attitude to our collection of little black dresses which are ready to be teamed with a parka and boots for a festival or a blazer and shoes for smart occasions. Black dresses are the perfect canvas to up the sartorial ante or temper statement outerwear: chunky gold and beaded jewellery will elevate this ubiquitous piece, which in turn tempers colourful coats, blazers and jackets.
