Elegant Dresses for Women

Elegant dresses for women are the most useful pieces in an occasion wardrobe. One well-cut dress takes you from a wedding to a formal dinner to a celebration with nothing more than a change of shoes and jewellery.

At LUXYWEARS we focus on elegant dresses for events: structured bodices, fluid skirts and fabrics that look as good in motion as they do in photographs.

Elegant dresses for every occasion

What makes a dress elegant

  • The cut. A defined waist and a skirt that falls cleanly do more than any decoration. Corset bodices and bias-cut skirts are the two classic ways to get there.
  • The fabric. Satin, crepe, chiffon, lace and tulle each hold a shape differently. Satin and crepe look sleek, chiffon and tulle look soft and romantic.
  • The length. Maxi dresses are the most formal; midi dresses are elegant and easier to wear during the day.
  • The colour. Black, navy and burgundy are timeless; butter yellow, baby blue and blush pink suit spring and summer events.
