Helen’s Mono Geo Silk Cotton Dress is usually priced at £229, but Karen Millen is currently running an offer that lets you get your hands on it with 15% off. That slashes the price down to just £194.65, saving you £35 when you use the code KMEXTRA15.
If black is usually your go-to for formalwear but feels a little too dark for weddings or summer events, this dress is the perfect compromise. It features an abstract geometric pattern in shades of grey, giving you the comfort of darker colours whilst still being appropriate for all kinds of events.
The Mono Geo Silk Cotton Dress has a flattering silhouette with a fitted bodice that accentuates your waist, before flaring out into a voluminous maxi skirt. Subtle piping details around the waist create a defined shape, and brings a playful touch with oversized bow details on each shoulder.
It’s available in sizes six to 16, and also comes in both regular and petite lengths to accommodate all heights. Helen accessoried her Mono Geo Silk Cotton Dress with an oversized black fascinator, black heels and a black quilted Chanel bag, but you could also introduce pops of colour with your accessories, such as carrying a red clutch or wearing pink shoes.
If you want to introduce a subtle pop of colour, the ASOS LUXE Jacquard Midi Dress With Full Skirt In Blue Floral is a great alternative. It’s now on sale for £84 down from £120, and has a similar fit and flare shape to Helen’s dress but comes in a white and blue floral print.
If you’re ready to go all in with colour, Monsoon’s Saira Embellished Sleeveless Satin Midi Dress Pink is beautiful for formal occasions. Coming in a deep magenta colour with an embellished beaded neckline, it keeps the same fitted bodice and voluminous skirt silhouette, and is now 50% down from £150 to £75.
