A NOT SO CLASSIC CUT-OUT

Giving cold-shoulder isn’t exactly new, but adding a bold color and a rich fabric — yes, velvet! — mixes things up. 

Pink Cold Shoulder Dress

ALIÉTTE

LBD WITH FLAIR

The little black dress is a party classic for a reason. You can’t go wrong. We love this polka-dotted spin to walk the line between adorable and sexy.

CHIC MINI DRESS

Make your own mini moment. We love a chic mini — a light version with stilettos, a dark one with tights and booties…the style possibilities are endless.

LEATHER DRESS

We love the versatility of leather. A strapless leather dress answers the important questions, like, “what would Rihanna do?” Cue: “Rockstar 101.”

SEQUINED EVERYTHING

Not feeling a dress for your next big night out? Mix it up with these chic sequined pants. For the ultimate “I don’t care chic” moment, pair them with a crisp white button down and minimal accessories.
