Designer Dresses for Women

A dress has one advantage over the rest of the wardrobe: slip it on, choose a pair of shoes, and the outfit is complete. The cut still has to be right. Our dresses begin with this idea, with simple lines and fabrics that hold their shape throughout the day. Some details only reveal themselves up close, like an offset seam or discreet buttons. This season, the collection runs from wool pullover dresses to silk evening dresses.

What is a designer dress?

A designer dress is recognised by considered choices rather than a logo. A well-placed neckline, a dart that defines the waist, or a hem cut to suit the shoes worn with it. Some of our dresses borrow their construction from tailoring, in wool cloth with defined shoulders, to be worn alone like a long jacket. Others favour softness, with fluid fabric that follows movement. For a dressier, elegant dress, our elegant dresses extend this selection.

Which dress shape suits your silhouette?

When choosing a dress, the shape matters as much as the fabric. A wallet-style dress or a belted dress defines the waist and balances the shoulders and hips. A straighter dress creates a longer line when it falls below the knee. A midi dress has just that advantage: it shows the shoes and works equally well with derbies or a low heel. An A-line dress, wider towards the hem, gives room to move without tracing the body.

Pullover dress or wool dress for winter

For a winter dress, look for warmth without weight. The pullover dress in knitwear is the most comfortable, with thick tights and ankle boots. A more structured wool dress works for the office, while the long dress can be layered over a thin pullover on bitterly cold days. A black dress is the easiest to style, but burgundy or deep blue brings more character to a winter outfit.

An elegant evening dress

For evening, we turn to fabrics with more lustre, such as silk or taffeta. Our silk dresses can be worn with delicate sandals or court shoes, beneath a wool coat draped over the shoulders. For an elegant dress that remains understated, a straight-cut dress in a dark shade and a single piece of jewellery often make more of an impression than an elaborate outfit. For December dinners, our winter dresses in wool retain the same understated feel, with added warmth.
