The sky blue sequins and red floral embroidery make this fitted midi dress impossible to overlook. I would repeat the red with lipstick or a small clutch, add slim metallic sandals, and wear the hair up so the high neckline and embroidery stay visibl...

This is such a cute dress. Many that short look a bit on the vulgar side, but this one combats it with the colour and the flower applique. Very chic!

This is a naked dress, but not the obvious one. The restraint combined with nude colour and long sleeves messes with any brain. Clear winner. Keep things minimal, add to the nakedness by using minimal makeup and jewelry, and add subtle sparkle with a...

Another unique example, the design , the colour and the feathers just work beautifully together. I find it very alluring. Adding tasteful gold pieces to this outfit would look yummy.

Yellow is one of my favourite colours and this is yet another beautiful example of that viral butter yellow. I love the asymmetry and subtle lace details. I think it is a showstopper. Not being afraid of adding colours will make this an extraordinary...

It is gorgeous, retrained, yet so chic and sexy. I think the shoes in the picture look terrible, this dress deserved better! Anyone wearing this is iconic on my list. Pair with chic clutch and heels, might be a little bit quirky.

The Mango asymmetrical scarf dress is an ecru midi dress for civil weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal events and elegant summer evenings. The one-shoulder neckline and long scarf detail give the clean column shape more movement without making it dif...

It is such a sweet dress. I love the shape of the halter neck, but most importantly the slight gathering around lower belly, it is such a smart move. It will cover the belly (if you have it) and hide any wrinkles that become visible from sitting. Pai...

This dress reminds of the iconic safety pin dress. I love new and unexpected textures, and this is still classy, yet carries a grunge edge.

Absolute perfection. The neck is gorgeous. The styling going for basically monochrome look is what strengthens the whole effect of the dress. Bravo. ICONIC.

It is a spectacular dress, when I see yellow dress, I think about Andie dress from the film How to loose a guy in 10 days. I adore yellow. I know, it's not for everyone or multiple occasions, but a woman must have a dress of such caliber. At least on...

I like dusty rose/beige satin slip dresses. This one also has a small shawl to put around the neck. I'm so happy to see elegant and thoughtful dresses appearing more and more.

It reminds me of Saint Laurent, it is just amazing. It is a classic, with that daring décolletage, a bit longer just to keep it tasteful.
