Deep V-neck short dress

White knee-length dress with long cardigan

A white knee-length dress paired with a long cardigan is suitable for both work and leisure. The dress’s length offers a tasteful, modest appeal, while the cardigan adds a layer of warmth. This combination elongates the figure and creates a seamless transition from the dress to the feet.

Sundress with tailored blazer

Dressing up a sundress with a tailored blazer strikes a perfect balance between casual and formal – the sundress’s light, flowing fabric offers an easygoing fit, while the blazer adds structure and authority. This pairing provides a contrast that creates an attention-grabbing outfit.
