The mini dress
With its playful length and dynamic silhouette, the mini dress is your ultimate dance-floor partner. This season, seek out pieces in vivid, statement colours with whimsical ruffle details. Valentino’s chic shirt dress is cut in the label’s signature shade of fuchsia – style it with barely-there sandals and a minimalist clutch to allow it to take center stage. Rick Owens’ silver strapless mini, meanwhile, is made from metallic-coated denim for an avant-garde feel – accentuate its ’90s mood with a compact shoulder bag. Alternatively, for a pretty, romantic take, look no further than Bernadette’s ‘Tilly’ dress, which is decorated with rose appliqués along the neckline, or Magda Butrym’s strapless mini, featuring 3D floral details and a sensuous keyhole cutout. A slick of red lipstick and pared-back accessories are all you need to take these beauties out on the town.
