Tiered Smock Mini Dress in Jeani Print Beige

The shape here is defined by two distinct sections: a pintucked bodice with a close-but-unforced fit, and a tiered smock skirt that adds volume from the hip down. The mandarin collar and V-neckline frame the button-through front without making it fussy, while the short sleeves keep the silhouette light rather than boxy. Mini length, but the tiering means it moves rather than clings.

The beige Jeani print — a small graphic motif on a warm neutral ground — does a lot of the work here. It reads easygoing rather than loud, which is what lets the tiered skirt carry the volume without the whole thing feeling overdressed for a Tuesday.

Details:

• Mandarin collar with V-neckline
• Pintuck detailing across the bodice
• Button-through front with short sleeves

Wear with flat leather sandals and a straw bag for summer days out, or swap to block-heeled mules for an evening with a bit more occasion to it.
