With the Gelada style, Max Mara makes the case for the navy dress as the modern replacement to the LBD. Made in Italy, the design possesses a silk crêpe bodice with a self-tie bow at the neckline and buttoned cuffs. It nips in at the waist – which can be accessorized with the slim, matching belt – before falling into a jersey pencil skirt with a center back slit. Wear yours with neutral-toned pumps for a desk-to-dinner look.
