Ashtin Mini Dress - Black

Every wardrobe wants one short black dress that asks nothing of the person wearing it. The Ashtin Mini Dress is that dress. Black, cut to a mini length, it works on the oldest principle in getting dressed: keep the colour absolute and the hem decisive, and the rest of the outfit can go wherever the evening goes. There is nothing to fuss with and nothing that needs matching — black at this length is a starting point rather than a statement that has to be lived up to. That is what makes it worth owning. It takes a heel and a bold earring when the night is a proper one, or a flat boot with a jacket thrown over the top when it is not. Dinner, drinks, a birthday, an evening nobody planned in advance — a short black dress covers every one of them without needing a second thought.
