After dark

A simple black dress and one rich leather bag. Evening dressing with very little effort.

The best evening outfits are mostly subtraction. Start with a black dress you can move in, then let one accessory carry the color. Oxblood and cognac leathers glow under warm restaurant light in a way black bags never will.

How to wear it

  • Keep the dress plain. A clean neckline and a midi or longer hem look deliberate rather than dressed up.
  • Bring the color with leather. A gathered oxblood shoulder bag is the whole point of the look.
  • Mind the metal. One pair of gold earrings is enough.
  • Flat is fine. Suede loafers work with a long dress if you are walking between places.
