Black is slimming, simple and easy to style. It suits every skin tone and almost every event. It also hides the odd mark on a long day.
The cut is what makes a black dress special. A good fit turns a plain color into a strong look. That is where our pattern-cutting heritage, going back to 1985, really shows.
For work, try the Cynthia Long Sleeve Pencil Dress or the Cynthia 3/4 Sleeve Pencil Dress. Both are clean and polished. The Carolyn A-line Midi Length Dress is a softer option.
For evenings, lace adds texture. The Lovelock French Lace Sleeve Dress and the Diva Zermatt Lace Short Sleeved Black Pencil Dress with Belt Detail are elegant choices. See more in our lace dresses.
For parties, the Glitterati Midaxi Sparkle Dress and the Eve Metallica Dress bring shine. The Lyrical Off Shoulder Black Dress and the Othello Off-The-Shoulder Drape Maxi Dress show off the shoulders.
Many styles here use Ripple Crepe. It is light, stretchy and keeps a deep color. Our fabric guide has more on how each fabric behaves and how to care for it.
Looking for a softer dark shade? Our navy blue midi dresses are a gentle alternative. For formal events, see our evening dresses.
Think about where you will wear it most. For work, choose a plain fabric and a sleeve. For evenings, lace, sparkle or a bare shoulder feels special. For year-round use, a knee-length pencil is the most flexible.
If you only buy one, pick the style you could wear three different ways. That is real value.
