5 Ways To Update Your Favourite Dress

Let’s get that cost-per-wear way down.

If you’re looking to lower your cost per wear on your favourite dress, don’t pack it away as soon as the weather starts to turn. Your black dress is an all-rounder, a most valued player and not to be benched at the first hint of a cool change. We checked in with our Head of Style Nicole Adolphe for how to take your LBD through another season...

“Try the dress-over-pants look …  It does really depend on what your fave dress is, but if it’s a shift dress or something more slouchy you could add some wide leg pants underneath. Beware, though: this won’t work for a boho dress or a dress that’s on the pretty side. Oh, and body con too is off the list!”
