Ludovic de Saint Sernin Black Dresses

Start with the occasion and the overall look you want. Then select a silhouette and length that flatter you, and pick a color that aligns with your styling and accessories.

Key criteria are silhouette and length (long, midi, or sleeveless), neckline impact, and color. Fit and comfort for the event are also important.

Think about fabric texture and any embellishments, like lace, plus how the dress will pair with outerwear or accessories for your occasion.

A long dress with a more pronounced neckline often reads as more formal; a sleeveless tank style can work with a tailored jacket or elegant accessories. Consider your comfort and how you’ll style it.
