Description
This strong and sleeveless black and red dress is named Damocles. This elegant dress has a slightly tailored waist, and flows wide from the waist down. It has a front zipper, which together with the cut of the dress, makes it a very easy to wear item. Because of the two-way zipper this is a versatile dress. You can wear the dress closed as a solo item, open up the bottom part to expose your legs or a pair of trousers, or wear it all the way open as a cardigan. The rose gold zipper is finished with a strip of raw edge black chiffon and a strip of raw edge black Tencel.
The Damocles dress is a long black dress without sleeves. It has a fun colorful splash of red on one side. The chiffon strips have a raw edge to create a tough look contrasting with the flowyness of the chiffon. The strips of frayed chiffon are diagonally placed on one side of this modern dress in a gradient of reds. Therefore this is an asymmetrical dress.
The collar of this black and red sleeveless dress has a mandarin collar. This gives a chic monumental twist to it.
How to style this sleeveless black and red dress
This sleeveless dress can be worn as a solo item. Wear it with high heels for an elegant and strong look, or chunky boots for a tough look. In the colder days, combine it with one of our black bamboo long sleeves. This way you can create a dark fashion feel to this sustainable piece.
To accentuate the modernness of this dress, wear the two-way zipper open all the way over your navel to create a fun look. Here we combined it with slim pinstripe pants with extra long legs. But of course, any shade of black will do the trick. If you would like to add more color wear it with red trousers, or combine the black trousers with a red heel.
It is also a possibility to wear this sleeveless black dress with red detail open, as a cardigan. Because of the flowyness of the dress we suggest slim fitted trousers to create a shape. We think an otherwise all black look will work the best to really let the shades of red pop. For sure all eyes will be on you!
In all cases, a bright red lipstick will finish your tough and elegant look. If you wear earring, you can wear a solo earring as a last finishing touch. Our pink pearl earring is a great match!
