Cotton Collared Pleated Mini Dress - black

Polo collar with a button placket at the neckline - the detail that gives this mini its sharp, sporty-meets-tailored edge Deep waist seaming creates a fitted bodice that flares into generous box pleats, giving the skirt real volume and movement as you walk Short sleeves sit neatly at the shoulder, keeping the silhouette clean without adding bulk Cotton elastane fabric is breathable and soft against the skin, with just enough stretch to move with you comfortably all day Mini length with a flared, pleated skirt that swings freely - structured on top, relaxed from the waist down The pleated skirt is the real story here. From the waist up, this dress reads almost like a tailored polo shirt - structured collar, button placket, fitted seaming. Then it opens into a full, swinging mini that shifts the whole mood. That contrast is what makes it work across so many different settings. Throw it on with chunky trainers and a crossbody bag for a casual day out with friends, as seen on the model. It handles a summer afternoon in the park just as easily as a low-key birthday lunch. When the occasion calls for something a little more put-together, swap in ballet flats and simple stud earrings. The cotton elastane fabric keeps things comfortable throughout - no stiffness, no fuss - which means it's the kind of piece you actually reach for again and again rather than saving for a specific moment.
