<-h2->Navy midi dresses instead of black<-h2-> Dinner reservations, gallery openings, late trains home. A navy midi dress handles all of it, and this collection makes the case for navy over black in satin, jersey, crepe and printed cotton, with sleeveless, long sleeve and wrap shapes throughout. Navy holds a little more warmth than black, which makes it kinder in daylight and just as composed after dark. For a wedding or a christening, choose a navy midi with sleeves, add gold drop earrings, a slim belt and heeled sandals, then a tailored bolero for the evening. Date night suits satin, pointed heels, a fine gold chain and a small clutch. Weekends are easier: jersey navy with trainers, a denim jacket and a leather look tote. Wearing a white shirt underneath a sleeveless navy midi gives you a different dress altogether, which is useful in transitional weeks. Navy midi dresses in satin, jersey, crepe and print, cut for the full spread of occasions.
