Made for nights that start late. This edit is our shorter, sharper end — mini lengths in sequin, mesh, cutout and bandage, designed to catch light and move well on a dance floor. There's a deliberate range of nerve here: some styles are simply a good black mini with an interesting back, others are unapologetically embellished from shoulder to hem. Most are cut close, so if you're between sizes on a bandage style, take the larger one. Pair with a heel you can actually stand in and very little jewellery — these dresses don't need help. Birthdays, New Year, a big night out; the brief is the same.
