When it comes to versatility and comfort, you can’t go past the power of a dress that takes the fuss out of deciding what to wear. For minimalists, there’s plenty of clean lines on offer — from body-skimming silhouettes to relaxed trapeze shapes. And those in the mood to experiment might consider a mini length, acid bright hue, or ditsy floral print.
