In my years of working in the fashion industry, I’ve come to accept the reality that often simple is best. I really should know this by now, as most mornings involve me rattling through my wardrobe, trying on item after item before flinging them onto my bed, and inevitably styling the same easy outfit I started with. It’s also a good reminder as we move into party season to not get too caught up in trends and to stick to an easy and elegant base that I know I’ll feel good in.
Inspiring me to do just that, Victoria Beckham was out over the weekend wearing the specific dress trend I always like to come back to this time of year. Styling an elegant draped dress in a fresh white shade complete with a draping neckline and a swishy hemline, Beckham wore the “basic” draped dress trend in the chicest way.
Choosing a bright white style for her evening’s events, Beckham’s dress draped down her body for a comfortable finish and an elegant silhouette. Styling hers with burgundy pointed-toe heels and a light spattering of jewels, Beckham kept the rest of her look simple, elegant and perfectly in tune with her refined sense of style.
For its easy quality, this basic dress trend is one that fashion people often reach for across the party season. And, luckily for us, there are plenty of elegant iterations available across the market. While I have my eye on a style or two from H&M and Zara, I’ve also deeply obsessed with Reformations and St. Agni’s styles, too.
