Black Maxi Dresses

When timeless sophistication is your goal, our black maxi dresses fit the bill. We have all your favourite shapes – from bodycon to drapey – with floor-sweeping hems that create an elegant look. Explore our collection to discover statement maxi dresses from renowned brands such as Ghost, Phase Eight and French Connection.

Whether it’s smart or casual, a full-length dress always feels feminine. Column maxi dresses that fit close to the body are all about classic appeal, while waisted maxi dresses define your figure by nipping you in at the middle before skimming over your hips. Keep an eye out for features such as tiers, flared skirts and ruffled hems if you want volume as well as length.  

Shopping for a summer maxi dress that gets you set for sunny weather? Opt for a sleeveless, strappy or strapless design crafted from textured linen or lightweight cotton that keeps you cool. Cover-ups with long sleeves are ideal for days by the sea – look out for broderie anglaise or embroidered pieces that are stylish enough to take you from beach to bar. Just slip on a pair of sandals from our women's footwear selection and you’re ready to go.  

When there’s a special event in the diary, a party maxi dress in black is always a chic choice. Go for a satin slip dress in a plain inky hue that contrasts with colourful high heels, an embellished clutch bag or standout jewellery. Alternatively, choose a black dress featuring a spotty, floral or geometric pattern and pair it with low-key accessories.
