Whether you blame Maud from Rivals , the fact you’ve been wearing jeans and trainers all year long or the influx of fabulous fashion piling into stores right now: there’s no escaping the fact that good old old-fashioned glamour is back. Black is everything to this, with the return of elegant monochrome underpinning it all. It starts with the perfect black dress, which can be everything from barely-there (think low slung at the back and thigh-skimming) to ankle-sweeping.
The way to wear it is with a lived-in edge, so avoid anything too structured. A messy hairdo — think slept-in blow-dry — and a sprinkling of make-up are your only required accessories. A pair of barely-there sandals will also work well.
On the matter of what.
