The cropped 3/4-length sleeves enhance the dress' seasonal versatility, and paired with a light button-up wool jacket in the winter and a soft silk shawl in both the spring and summer - right through to autumn - you're going to look fantastic.
Simple but pristinely cut and tailored, this elegant midi-length dress from THEO presents a deep V-shape neckline - perfect for displaying your favourite necklace - and a figure-enhancing silhouette that pulls you in at the waist. This dress features a vent of the side and, being sleeveless, gives itself to seasonal versatility - as long as you drape a shawl around you when there's a bite in the air. Pair this piece with a clutch or wristlet, or even elbow-high gloves for ultimate glamour.
Last but not at all least, this show-stopper from KARAVAY is another glamorous dress suitable for a gala, with all the qualities of an evening gown from some of the top designers in the world.
