Sage Green Cotton Mini Dress

Sage green cotton at mini length — the quiet colour of the season on the easiest silhouette in the wardrobe.

Sage does its work by understatement: greyer than mint, softer than olive, it flatters warm and cool skin alike and pairs with white, tan and cream without a second thought. The cotton keeps the dress breathable and low-maintenance, and the short cut keeps it young.

This is the daytime dress of the collection: brunches, picnics, market runs, casual birthdays in a beer garden. White sneakers make it a walking outfit; tan sandals make it a lunch outfit; gold jewellery and a low heel push it to dinner. It layers well when the season turns — a jacket over, a long sleeve under. Colours this calm never argue with anything, which is exactly why they get worn twice a week.
