Mini Dresses

<-h2->Mini dresses for day and evening<-h2-> Shorter hemlines have always suited confidence, and mini dresses are built for it. Our edit runs through satin, soft jersey, knitted and printed fabrics, in black, warm neutral and stronger colour, cut close to the body or with a fuller skirt. A knitted mini with a knee-high boot, opaque tights and a wool coat is the winter version, warm enough for a long lunch and the walk home afterwards. Satin needs almost nothing beside it, so a plain heel, a small clutch and long gold earrings will carry a birthday dinner or a New Year party. Print goes to a summer wedding with a flat sandal and a straw bag, then borrows a heel for the evening. Wear a mini over trousers or under a longline jacket and the length becomes a layering decision rather than a statement. Lining and fabric weight decide whether the shape holds when you sit down. The mini earns a full year of wear in this edit.
