10 styles to know & wear.
From the everyday knit to the evening gown. A guide to finding your silhouette, with fresh arrivals and thoughtful ways to wear them.
Find your style
A dress for the
way you live.
The best dress starts with how you want to spend the day. A lunch that becomes dinner, a long-awaited celebration, an evening with somewhere lovely to be.
Here are ten dress styles to help you choose, illustrated by pieces from our current New Arrivals. Some names describe a length, others a neckline, fabric or silhouette. They naturally overlap: one dress can be a floral, an A-line and a mini.
The maxi dress
A long line, a lasting impression.
A maxi dress falls toward the ankle or floor, creating an uninterrupted line from bodice to hem. Séraphine brings that length into focus with an emerald A-line skirt, a matching belt and a ruffled high neckline with crystal accents.
Wear it for
Evening receptions, celebratory dinners and dressed-up gatherings.
The finishing touch
Keep the neckline clear and add simple earrings, a small evening bag and understated heels.

The midi dress
The considered middle ground.
A midi hem sits between the knee and ankle. Golden Haze pairs that versatile length with long blouson sleeves, a full circle skirt and a coordinating self sash. Its golden-yellow ground and vivid pink florals bring color to the season’s celebrations.
Wear it for
Daytime celebrations, dinner dates and seasonal gatherings.
The finishing touch
Try a streamlined boot for cooler days or a closed-toe heel for an evening invitation.

The mini dress
A shorter hem with a little sparkle.
A mini dress finishes above the knee. Émeline balances its short black silhouette with long sleeves and a high round neckline. Multicolor jewels at the collar, cuffs and patch pockets provide the finishing detail.
Wear it for
Cocktail parties, birthday dinners and holiday evenings.
The finishing touch
Let the jewel trim lead. Add simple pumps, a compact bag and tights when the temperature calls for them.

The floral dress
Romance in richer tones.
Floral describes the motif, so it can appear on almost any dress shape or length. Isabeau places multicolor blooms and gold-toned scrollwork on black jacquard, with embroidery and bead embellishments. Its sleeveless A-line shape gives the pattern room to shine.
Wear it for
Special dinners, celebrations and evenings that call for color.
The finishing touch
Choose one quiet accessory color from the floral design, then keep the rest simple.

The sweater dress
Texture with an easy rhythm.
A sweater dress brings knit texture into a one-piece outfit. This charcoal arrival has a ribbed mock neck, a sleeveless shape and long fringe across the front and hem. The movement gives a simple neutral palette a distinct point of view.
Wear it for
Weekend lunches, gallery afternoons and relaxed dinner plans.
The finishing touch
Layer with a tailored coat or jacket and pair with boots. Keep jewelry minimal around the mock neckline.

The lace dress
An occasion in every detail.
Lace dresses are defined by their openwork texture. Célestine combines ivory floral lace, blush-toned lining and a black ribbon bow with a plunging halter neckline, open back and cascading tiered maxi skirt.
Wear it for
Bridal celebrations and special occasions where ivory suits the dress code.
The finishing touch
Echo the black bow with a small bag and simple heels. For a wedding, reserve ivory for the bride unless the couple requests it.

The A-line dress
Definition, then a gentle flare.
An A-line dress widens from the upper body or waist toward the hem. Mireille gives the shape a tailored interpretation: a fitted waist, pleated flared skirt and structured shoulders in black tweed. A jeweled neckline and decorative floral buttons add polish.
Wear it for
Elegant dinners, cocktail evenings and festive gatherings.
The finishing touch
Add sleek pumps and a simple clutch. The neckline already supplies a jewelry-like detail.

The one-shoulder dress
A neckline that changes everything.
A one-shoulder dress uses an asymmetric neckline to frame the upper body. Sienna Statement pairs this shape with a burnt-sienna midi silhouette, a cascading side ruffle and hardware detail. Its stretch woven fabric and lining are listed in the product details.
Wear it for
Wedding receptions, occasion dinners and autumn celebrations.
The finishing touch
Skip a necklace and choose earrings that leave the neckline in focus. Finish with understated heels.

Formal dinners, evening celebrations and festive occasions, guided by the invitation’s dress code.

Find the right
dress for you.
Start with the invitation and the weather, then choose the length, shape and texture you enjoy wearing.
- Read the dress code. The venue and time of day help set the level of formality. Check with your host when an invitation leaves you unsure.
- Check the individual fit. Review each product’s sizing and measurements. Sizes can vary between styles and brands.
- Plan the whole outfit. Consider your shoes, underlayers and outerwear before the day. An open back, halter or strapless neckline may need a different foundation.
