Influencers don't always get the best reputation sometimes but every once in a while, you get one that changes the zeitgeist of style: one that encourages you think of wearing something out of your comfort zone, put on a new lip colour or try on a slip dress for day.

And the latter's credit goes to none other than Rumi Neely of FashionToast who has been wearing it since the early noughties in all ways possible: Glamorous, Edgy or Formal enough to coast through a work day. Here's ten of our handpicked favourites, ranging from luxury to high-street price tags.

It's 2018 so some fashion rules feel archaic: if you're wearing a relaxed dress, you don't have to pair it with formal things because equally relaxed accessories are fine too.
