Black Dresses

Black dresses for the office and after hours

A black dress is the one piece that goes from a client meeting to a dinner and a drink afterwards without changing. Forcast black dresses come in tailored minis, ponte shifts, pencil midis, satin slips and lace, in sizes 4 to 18.

Which black dress

For work, the Sutton Ponte Dress and the Juno Panel Ponte Dress have stretch and structure and hold their line all day. A double-breasted style or a utility tie dress reads as tailored. For evening, the Calliope Bias Cut Slip Dress and the Romy Lace Ruched Dress do the work with a heel. A drop-waist or button mini suits a night out.

Wearing black well

Black shows texture, so choose it in ponte, satin, lace or knit rather than a flat fabric. In the office, add a blazer in a lighter colour and a closed shoe. After hours, swap the blazer for gold jewellery and a heel. A scarf or a coloured belt breaks up an all-black outfit.
