A little navy dress is an alluring summer twist on your likely worn-to-death black version, and Tibi’s chiffon cocktail style has been ruched to perfection. Good things come in small packages! A strapless mini that’s clearly on the skimpy side doesn’t look -and won’t feel – too showy, thanks to all the thin layers of detailed fabric work. Because the last way you want to feel when you’re wearing a dress that’s on the revealing side is, well, overly revealed.
A sweetheart neckline with “internal support” (as in, no bra required), rows of fabric elegantly ruched for an effect that’s not only pleasing to the eyes but kind to the figure, and a fully lined, pleated skirt. This is a flirty dress you will find yourself wearing time and time again, not only because it looks great and easy, but wearing it will feel just as good. On Net-a-Porter for $500.
Pair with: Go for the gold when you’re wearing a navy dress (black and gold can look too typically flashy). You’ll want to clutch the “Lady Laque” pouchette by L’Wren Scott, in glittering metallic raffia, all night long. At Barneys New York for $1,295.
