The ultimate strappy dress







Above: It all started in the 90s. The simple strappy dress was a signature style of Calvin Klein.
 It’s an ageless style.
An epitome of effortless chic.

One of my favourite trends this season is velvet. The main appeal of this long forgotten fabric lies in its texture and how it makes dull colours ‘pop’. It adds the evening factor to simple dresses like no other, and makes an otherwise boring plain mini or maxi dress stand out from the crowd. Black, oxblood, burgundy and navy blue are the go-to colours. If you have more courage, a bright velvet element in your look will look fantastic paired with pieces that have different textures. Below a small selection of velvet statement pieces currently on Asos.
