This fringed dress immediately brings to mind boho summer vibes. We love that you can cross the straps at the front to create a tantalising cut-out, and that the revealing low-scooped back is tempered by the long straps. Put its swishing silhouette to good use — slip into some heels and head to a dance party.

From the front, this strappy dress from La Ligne looks like a simple navy blue number with a V-neckline, but turn around and you’d see beautiful knotted straps in contrasting colours that show off your back. We love that it has pockets too. Go with blue velvet pumps for a monochromatic finish.

Covered with shimmery black sequins, this design encapsulates the sexy, cool vibes of a Tom Ford woman. We love the zip detail that adds edge to this classic evening dress. Pair simply with studded earrings and black slingbacks for a day-to-date look.

Featuring an elegant square neckline, this flirty cami dress is made even sexier with its deep back. Layer a blazer on top for work and take it off for a night out with your date. Finish the look with a pair of nude pumps to elongate your gams.

With capped sleeves and a princess-seamed bodice, this mint green number looks innocuous from the front, but shows off all your confidence at the back. Pair this feminine piece with your favourite jade accessories for a monochromatic finish.

For something a little simpler, try this LBD from Zara, which serves as a nice alternative to the tuxedo dress. It features glossy shawl collar lapels for an interesting contrast and its neutral colour means you can easily dress it up with either gold and silver accessories.
