Remy Halterneck Maxi Dress - Brown

Brown has quietly become the colour people reach for instead of black, and the Remy Halterneck Maxi Dress shows why that swap works. The halterneck fastens at the neck, leaving the shoulders and upper back open — the detail that keeps a long, plain dress from reading as heavy. From there the shape is uninterrupted to a maxi hem, with no print and no ornament to distract from the colour itself. It is as simple as a long dress gets, and that simplicity is the point of it. Brown is warmer than black against most skin and reads richer under low light than it does in daylight, so this is an evening dress first. Wear it to an autumn wedding, a dinner, a party in the colder half of the year. Gold jewellery, a tan or bronze heel, hair off the shoulders.
