This versatile style is perfect for the office, a party or other special event, or even to head out to brunch with friends. The raised waistband is figure-flattering, and the gathered sleeves and skirt panel add extra comfort as well as style. Perfect for a lightweight wool crepe, as the one shown here in dusty pink. Starting at $100.

Angelique

A perfect example of a timeless style also being on trend is the maxi dress. This effortless style, with a gathered bodice, empire waist and side zipper, can be worn daytime or evening, and is perfect for a lightweight fabric like this pretty charmeuse print. Starting at $120.

Farah. Farah Stockman, Washington reporter for the Boston Globe, wore this dress to the White House Correspondents Association dinner. I’m glad it was windy when I shot these pics, because it shows the beautiful movement of the liquid jersey. And the red color looked gorgeous on her skin.
