Keep it simple with this classy black midaxi dress from New Look. It has buttons on the chest as well as a flattering belted waist. You can pair it with some chunky boots and a jacket in the cooler months.

A reviewer said: "I absolutely love this dress! I sized up and I'm glad I did as there's no 'give' in the fabric and I wanted a slightly looser, draped look. It's the perfect length for me (5'11") and the sleeves are great too. I'm going to wear it with black tights and ankle boots for autumn/winter. I've ordered the khaki one too. Only criticism is the belt, which is too flimsy to sit flat so I might try it with a black leather belt instead."

A happy reviewer put: "I absolutely love this dress. I brought to wear for my birthday, and I feel like a goddess in it! Some of the other reviews say it’s bright, and yes it is, but the description does say cerise. I’m 5’7 and it reaches my ankles, so I will team this with white boots and white clutch. It’s on trend too with the cinched under bust, pleating all over and fluted sleeves, zip up the back, elastic button and bow at the neck. Has an inner cami which has adjustable straps. It’s A-line too so can eat and drink as much as you like without being conscious of a bloat! Cannot wait to wear this."
