Wine maxi dresses

There's something about a wine maxi dress, isn't there? It's deep, rich and a little bit sultry, the colour of a really good glass of red, and it makes you look expensive without you lifting a finger. You don't reach for wine to shout. You reach for it when you want to feel quietly gorgeous, usually right about the time the weather starts to cool. It comes in sizes 4 to 20, and UK delivery is free over £135.

Wine loves a cold night

This is a colour that really comes alive once the temperature drops, so think of it as your dinner-and-evening pick for the cooler months. A long lunch among the vines, a candlelit dinner, an autumn wedding you've been invited to, or honestly any night you fancy feeling a bit special. The colour does all the heavy lifting here, so you barely have to try: a bit of gold jewellery to warm it up, a deep berry lip, and tan or burgundy boots for the season. When it's properly cold out, throw a camel or chocolate coat over the top and thank me later. Keep everything in that same warm, deep family and let the colour do the rest.

Which wine are you pouring?

Here's the thing: wine isn't one colour, it's a whole cellar. True wine and merlot are your classic deep reds, burgundy is a bit brighter and berry-toned, and oxblood is the darkest, almost brown, for when you want proper drama. Whichever you go for, this one was made for evening. The cuts get a little sultry too, think a corset nipped in at the waist, a bare strapless or off-the-shoulder neckline, or a touch of sequin when there's an occasion. Rich satin and soft mesh suit wine best, but if you want something more low-key for the day, a printed watercolour-wine is so pretty.
