We love a dress at SoSensational. And we think you love a dress, too.
We don’t need to point out all the advantages of a dress as they are self-evident.
But we will point out the one big truth about a dress, because it’s sometimes good to be reminded why we love something. The one big advantage of a dress is that when you get dressed in a dress, you are dressed; you don’t have to worry about the top half and bottom half going together because you slide that dress on and, voila, you are sensational…
And in a dress with sleeves, you are even more sensational, because in a dress with sleeves you don’t have to think about covering up with a jacket, though we do love a chic jacket (maybe a trophy jacket or a blazer jacket or a bomber or a biker jacket) or even a pashmina or a stole, any of which can transforms a standout dress into a standout outfit.
Magazines and fashion pages and even SoSensational will tell you there are trends in dresses, and there are, kind of… But the truth is, when it comes to dresses, it’s not so much about big trend shifts as mood shifts. And the big ‘mood shifts’ in dresses are a bit contradictory (and, to be honest, a bit confusing) because the options are at polar opposites: there is a strong vintage vibe featuring detailing, fabrics and cuts reminiscent of the 1940s and 1950s, and then there’s Modernism featuring clean lines and architectural simplicity.
The one element we can tell you is vital (and which cuts across the various trends and ‘moods’), relates to length. Happily for we 50-plus ladies, the key length is over-the-knee or midi, or is short and long at the same time…
Which kind of means that right now, anything goes (or, rather anything gorgeous goes); it’s all about picking a dress you love and wearing it with confidence…So here are the season’s top show-stopping frocks. The dazzlingly fabulous frocks for parties, the dazzlingly fabulous frocks for weddings, the dazzlingly fabulous frocks for holidays and the dazzlingly fabulous frocks for dining out (or lunching out, obvs).
Which is your favourite dress from our selection?
