Destined to never date, we discuss how the shift dress has taken a modern day twist with the help of accessories, gorgeous seasonal prints and embellishments.

Classical Shift Dresses

When we think of classic shift dresses we immediately think of one colour. Black.  We know a little black dress is our best friend; after all we can rely on it and it’ll be there for us in a crisis (fashion crisis mind you!) But our little black shift dress doesn’t have to be boring.

We all now how our shift dresses are ideal for the workplace but what about those all important after work drinks? It’s simple. We can create different looks with a little help from different accessories. Take this textured shift dress for example.  Formal for the workplace and perfect for that high power meeting, but to take it to night get on your silver jewellery, show those legs and add some killer heels and get ready to turn heads!

New Prints for Shift Dresses

The catwalk has been brimming with new gorgeous prints and we were so relieved to hear these prints have been incorporated in our staple shift dress. From floral tributes to neon colours, there are so many prints & patterns to choose from. We’re spoilt for choice!

Our shift dress has been instantly updated with the help of bright colours. This  Sateen Fabric Dress would be our ideal choice for our next holiday as its effortlessly glamourous for both day time beach wear to night time drinks.

So how do we incorporate prints for a formal occasion? Keep the prints smaller, and choose a block colour. We love this Singh Madan Jacquard Dress, in a stand out grey colour and elegant floral print it’s bang on trend! Perfect occasion wear! We’d wear this with a clutch bag, killer heels and a shrug for the complete look.

Embellishments – Shift Dress Style

When it comes to the shift dresses we love the updates we’ve seen on the catwalk, and what better then to add stunning detailing to our favourite ladies dress! When we say detailing, it’s all about the neckline – sophisticated glamour perfect for that special occasion.  Our money’s on 2 dresses that embody this trend; this Elegant Dress and this Wow Satin Dress.  Not only go they look amazing, they attract attention to all the right areas…detailing designed to be different!

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks;  after all you know the shift dress will look fabulous on you no matter what shape or szie ,  so be bold and try something new. After all you might like it!
