The New Take On The LBD: Black Dresses To Transcend Time

The timeless little black dress is a style saviour, an everlasting wardrobe icon. As the ultimate acronym in the fashion world, the LBD boasts enduring versatility, shifting from upscale black-tie events to intimate gatherings, meeting all your style needs.

In the realm of party dressing, earning the label ‘effortless’ is always a victory, and the LBD deserves it. This staple inherently exudes a polished look, and you don’t need many accessories – just throw on some minimal heels and add a touch of subtle jewellery, and you’re ready for party season.

This season velvet textures set a new tone for elegance; see our Black Bandeau Velvet Midi Dress and our Draped Velvet Midi Dress for staples that will transcend time and be reached for every festive season. Designed in fuss-free silhouettes, they lend themselves to everything from all-back accessories to sparkle and metallic finishing touches.

If you’re looking for dresses in more playful, short lengths, our Velvet Pleat Sleeve Mini Dress is an elevated piece designed with pleated long sleeves and lends itself well to modern ankle boots as well as metallic heels come party season. And if you’re heading to a Black Tie Event or a winter wedding, our Tie Back Maxi Dress, a Whistles signature, has been designed in classic black for the winter season.
