We’ve rounded up some must-have, versatile pieces to add to your wardrobe that will have you ready for any occasion, taking the stress and hassle out of finding something to wear. You are going to need storage for these – check out the best custom wardrobe closets.

Printed Mini Dress

A girly printed mini dress is a must-have in our books. This transeasonal piece will see you step out in style all year round. For an effortless summer look, pair with leather sandals and a wide-brimmed woven hat, or layer with a leather jacket and black ankle boots for an edgy winter outfit. From delicate florals to bold, bright patterns, there’s a print to suit every style and elevate your daily look.

Choose a print that features your go-to shades for a piece that will stay on rotation season after season. Pictured left is the Lyna Cut Out Mini Dress and right the Love Heart Dress. Images: Alamour the Label

Shirt Dress

The definition of smart casual is a quality shirt dress that is a staple in any wardrobe. Whether working from the office on a summer’s day or spending the afternoon with family, it’s the perfect combination of stylish and modest. Opt for a soft, light monochrome colour palette or a simple printed piece. Keep it casual with a pair of mules and small gold hoop earrings.

Classic Black Dress

Although it goes without saying, a classic Little Black Dress is the backbone of our capsule wardrobe. When searching for the perfect black dress to add to your collection, look for a piece that compliments your body type, cinching your waist and skimming your hips in a high-quality fabric. A highly versatile piece, it can be dressed down with sneakers or up with a pair of heeled ankle boots and a statement necklace.

Flowing Maxi Dress

We’re certainly guilty of having a few too many maxi dresses in our collection, but being one of the most flattering and feminine styles, can you blame us? Perfect for those warmer days, a maxi dress is a hassle-free option that you can slip on and step out in. Look for a fitted bodice that flows out at your waist and finishes above the floor in a soft, breathable fabric.

The tie-up bodice and off-the-shoulder style of the Dara Dress level up a simple, low-key outfit.

With these stunning styles in your wardrobe, you’ll always have a chic outfit to throw on, no matter the occasion. Invest in high-quality, timeless pieces that flatter your figure and make you feel incredible.
