I have just found my fall go-to dress for everything from a day at work to fabulous nights out on the town. It looks as simple as can be yet has everything you would want in a multi-functional dress. I would expect nothing less from the collaboration between Maison Martin Margiela‘s friendlier-priced casual line, MM6, and always-innovative Opening Ceremony – an overdue, momentous pairing of creative teams (the collection includes cutaway denim skirts and T-shirt dresses with added-on turtlenecks).
Similarly, this dress, more wearable than much of the line, is a genius pairing of flirt and class. And the lightly cinched tank style is flattering for bodies of all shapes. For the nighttime sex-bomb scene, keep the legs bare and the heels high (who needs cleavage when you’re dress is this sexy-cool?!). But with opaque black tights and platform pumps, this is boardroom-appropriate without making you boardroom-bored. At Barneys New York for $380 (for pre-order).
Pair with: Some deep-forest green will spice things up for autumn, as seen on Marni’s perforated leather perforated messenger bag, a modern crossbody that works day or night. Marni Perforated Pocket Messenger Bag, $1,015.
