Voted Most Versatile: The Afton Dress

4 Ways To Wear

DEBUG: core/paragraph

In every woman’s closet, one wardrobe staple stands above the rest: the quintessential little black dress.

Finding the LBD, however, can be trickier than it sounds. The ideal silhouette is not too short, not too long, and has just the right amount of give for all-day wear. Enter the Afton: our ultimate day-to-night closet hero. Its super power is in its versatility. It's a daytime-friendly wrap shape cut in a breathable stretch-cotton, giving it a shirtdress feel, while its tulip skirt and D-ring hardware give it nighttime luxe.

Below are four ways to wear it. (In the mood for a little-white-dress look instead? We've got you covered.)

Put your LBD to work. Pair it with a structured blazer and heels for an instant office-ready look. Opt for a white blazer for a Jackie-Kennedy-inspired black-and-white graphic moment.

Yes, we’re wearing dresses over denim again. For a refined take on Y2K dressing, layer over a pair of cropped denim and round out the look with statement accessories. The perfect drinks-with-the-girls look.

For date night, lean into the power of the LBD and wear it solo. On its own, the black dress exudes minimalist chic and less-is-more confidence. Commit to the look with PVC heels and spare accessories.

The weekend outfit is here and it’s a play on contrasts. Throw on a utilitarian safari jacket to layer in a streetwear feel to the structured polish of the LBD. Finish with oversized sunnies and flat sandals– perfect for running around town. Style tip: you have our permission to pop that collar.
