Eveningwear doesn’t have to mean ball gowns and form fitting cocktail dresses. The modern way to play dress up is with luxe separates, showcased by American label St John and its floor skimming skirt. Cut from lustrous satin, the high rise style sits nipped at the waist before fluidly cascading to the ankle for dramatic appeal. Let the linearity of its silhouette inform a restraint on accessories, simple strap heels and a clutch will do.
