Black dresses

4 pieces

The black dress is the most confident piece in any wardrobe, so we choose ours carefully. This edit brings together long evening gowns with sculpted column lines, full-skirted dresses for weddings and daytime pieces with a touch of tulle. We favour fabrics that keep their depth of colour wash after wash, such as double crepe and taffeta, and design long sleeves and quiet necklines for family gatherings and formal occasions. Wear black with simple gold jewellery and a small bag, or add a camel coat on cooler evenings.
