We’re getting a much-needed boost from some frivolous, feelgood pieces. Hand-picked off-shoulder dresses and studded shirts from Shrimps and Ganni will bring a sense of fun to the most intimate of gatherings, whilst Dries Van Noten’s decadent detailing is guaranteed to be good for the soul.
Shrimps Silk Satin Off the Shoulder Midi Dress
Shrimps Floral Beaded Velvet Handbag
Simone Rocha Mismatched Mother-of-Peal Earrings
“Count on Shrimps to steal the spotlight – Simone Rocha’s mismatched, mother-of pearl earrings are the perfect accompaniment to the British brand’s childlike, scatterbrain take on glamour.”
“Dents’ shimmering opera gloves are the can’t-live-without winter accessory you didn’t know you needed – do ladylike the new season way and layer over Erdem’s bewitching, floral silk gown.”
Christopher Kane Velvet Crystal Bow Dress
“Christopher Kane does grown-up attire for after-dark like no other. Adorned with an OTT, crystal-smothered bow, this off-shoulder gown will catch every light (and eye) in the room.”
Bernadette Meredith Silk Satin Slip-Dress
Simone Rocha Drip Earrings
“Bernadette makes another winning case for nightwear-as-eveningwear with this crimson slip dress. No matter the time of year, no one can resist a low back - especially set off by Simon Rocha’s dripping, icicle-like earrings.”
Loewe Lavalliere Satin Dress
“Play the decadent minimalist in Loewe’s Lavalliere gown. Draped satin construction and a pussy-bow neckline show Creative Director JW Anderson’s ability to riff on well-mannered, classic silhouettes at its peak.”
“Balance the rock-and-roll styling of ALEXACHUNG’s leather mini-skirt against Erdem’s pretty Peter Pan-collar shirt - proving that preppiness and glamour are not mutually exclusive.”
Joseph Delphia Silk-Satin Slip Dress
Joseph Delphia Silk-Satin Slip Dress
“Joseph has been a go-to for simple British luxury since its ‘70s inception. This silky trench coat takes an everyday staple into evening – an elevated, frivolous piece of tailoring that adds a sumptuous layer to this most-perfect of slip dresses.”
Ganni Studded Linen Shirt
Anissa Kermiche Silver-Plated Fil d’Argent Drop Earrings
“If you want playful, you go Ganni. Paired with artist Anissa Kermiche’s decadently tasselled earrings, this shirt is a youth-infused, high-shine take on the Western styles that were seen on the season’s catwalks.”
