Mid-winter formalities never looked better with these luxuriously dark options.
With ball season and winter weddings well underway, the quest for something to wear needn't be arduous, with several key pieces offering versatility and restraint. From billowing maxi gowns to languid shift dresses, the focus is on easy, timeless pieces.
Designers have focused on luxurious winter fabrics such as velvet, brocade and jacquard along with dramatic embellishments and trims for an understated yet elegant take on dressing for formal occasions this season.
While Victorian-inspired pieces have made a dramatic return, this selection offers a more contemporary perspective and a failsafe approach to looking polished when the dress code requires something special.
Twenty-seven Names, Aim and Kate Sylvester have all included broody velvets in their winter collections, providing the perfect base for metallic and jewel accessories to shine.
