Abbie Off Shoulder Maxi Dress - Olive

Olive is one of the few colours that looks equally right in strong sun and low evening light, which gives the Abbie Off Shoulder Maxi Dress an unusually long working day. The neckline sits off the shoulder, leaving the collarbone and the tops of the arms open, and the dress runs from there to a maxi hem in one uninterrupted line. There is no print and nothing decorative competing for attention — an off-shoulder neckline at full length is already a strong enough shape to carry a dress on its own. Bare shoulders make this a warm-weather dress by default. It suits a holiday dinner, an outdoor wedding, a long evening somewhere hot. Olive takes gold jewellery particularly well, and a tan or bronze sandal picks up the same warmth. Wear hair up, since the neckline is the whole point of the dress.
