If there's one silhouette that should be in nearly every closet, it's the A-line. Even the French girls can attest to this. With its waist nipped in and a soft flare down to the hem, it has a way of skimming the hips to produce a shape that is perfectly balanced without trying too hard. It is as at home in the office or at a wedding as it is for a lazy Sunday brunch. So you won’t be surprised to see it up there with the most flattering silhouettes on the market.
The cut is remarkably versatile. If you like the structure but are after some more movement, a fit-and-flare will do the trick with a bit of extra swing. For the warmer weather, you can count on many of our top summer dresses to have an A-line shape for the sake of comfort. They are also one of the finest options if you are a pear-shaped figure looking to build a wardrobe; the fabric drapes over the lower half in all the right ways.
We have put together a selection of the best A-line dresses for every budget and occasion below. Be it a no-fuss midi for day-to-day or something more refined for your next cocktail party, we think you will find an A-line here that suits you.
