This black maxi dress from Essentiel Antwerp is exactly what you need for those sun-drenched summer evenings. It's pure cotton, so it feels incredibly light and floaty against your skin – perfect when the temperature climbs. The strapless top has a sweet ruffle, mirroring another playful detail down at the hem, which really adds some movement when you walk. It comes with a matching fabric belt that ties nicely to give you a bit of shape at the waist without feeling restrictive. Honestly, the best bit might be the practical slit pockets; total lifesaver for your phone or lipstick. You could easily wear this to a summer wedding, a chic garden party, or even just a lovely dinner on holiday.
