Layered Long Sleeve V Neck Mini Dress

Tiers are what make this mini dress worth a second look. Instead of one flat panel of fabric, the skirt is built in layers that fall over each other, adding volume and movement as you walk. Pair that with a v neckline and long sleeves and you get a dress that is short without feeling slight.

The fabric is 95% polyester and 5% elastane, giving it a slight stretch so the dress settles against you and the tiers still swing freely. The body is not lined, so give a thought to what you wear underneath. The v neckline opens up the chest and lengthens the whole line, which matters on a mini where proportion does the work. Three colours are available: coffee brown for something warm and unexpected, black for the version that always works, and dark navy as the quieter alternative. Sizes run S through XL, with lengths from 32.3 inches to 33.9 inches.

Wear it with knee boots and opaque tights when the weather is against you, or bare legs and heeled sandals when it is not. A leather jacket over the top pushes it toward evening, while a chunky cardigan and trainers pulls it back to daytime. Because the tiers already bring the detail, keep everything else simple: a fine chain that follows the v, small earrings, and a compact bag. Coffee brown is the interesting choice here if you already own a black mini and want something that reads differently in the same easy shape.
