Olive Green Cotton Maxi Dress with Halterneck

The Robyn is a maxi dress in olive green cotton with a halterneck, which makes it a floor-length dress that still feels easy.

Cotton is what separates this from an evening maxi: it breathes, and it does not demand fuss. Olive is a muted green that sits well against most skin tones and goes with tan, white, black and cream without effort. The halterneck keeps the shoulders open and the arms free, so the dress stays cool even at full length, and it gives the neckline a shape that a plain scoop would not.

Wear this maxi dress on holiday, to a market, to a relaxed lunch, or to a beach wedding where the dress code is loose. Flat sandals suit it by day; a wedge and a basket bag take it into the evening. Gold-toned jewellery warms the olive, and a white shirt thrown over the shoulders handles a breeze. It is the dress to pack first.
