Women's Pleated Maxi Dress with Lapel Collar and Defined Waist

A lapel collar and pleated skirt bring tailored and flowing details together in this women's maxi dress. The upper section has a structured appearance, while the pleats continue down into the longer skirt. A defined waist separates the two sections and makes the changing proportions clear. The plain colour keeps attention on the shape, collar and movement of the pleating rather than an all-over print.

Pair the dress with heeled sandals and a small structured bag for an occasion outfit, or try simple court shoes for a more restrained finish. A long coat can sit over the dress when an extra layer is needed. Keep jewellery close to the neckline if you want the lapels to remain visible. The combination of a defined upper body and fuller skirt works well with accessories that echo the clean lines instead of adding competing details.
