With its long sleeves and slit design, it exudes sophistication and style
The Anastasia Gown is a study in ethereal form, crafted from black satin-faced chiffon thats lightweight and radiates a subtle luster
Recommended styling: Jacket construction: - Double-breasted styles add horizontal dimension and create presence - If choosing single-breasted, opt for slightly wider lapels - Structured shoulders with moderate padding add breadth - Slightly longer jacket length maintains proportion with height Lapel considerations: - Wider peak lapels add horizontal balance - Shawl collars can also work, particularly in a wider profile - Avoid narrow lapels which emphasise vertical length Trouser strategy: - Can carry either flat front or pleated styles well - Ensure adequate length with a full break or single break - Moderate width through the leg balances tall proportions Fabric and colour: - Can carry heavier fabrics that drape with substance - Midnight blue or black equally effective - Patterned dinner jackets (subtle jacquard or texture) add visual interest Additional elements: - A waistcoat adds another horizontal layer and visual weight - Pocket squares with more volume add dimension - Substantial cufflinks complement longer arms 3.4
Whether worn for a day at the office or an evening out, this dress embodies understated sophistication, merging tradition with contemporary design for an effortlessly chic look
I also consulted with our Style Director Christian Gollayan who put a number of dress sneakers through the wringer, such as wearing them to the office, formal events, and dinner parties
