Wear it with a heel to stride in one direction, trainers to step out in the other
Whenever I have gone looking for dresses to wear in the daytime in the last year or two, I have found myself choosing between two opposing armfuls.
Piled over the left arm: the daytime TV presenter dress. This is pretty much skintight, but makes itself businesslike by being made of suit-tailoring wool or felted cotton and having sharp angles at the shoulder or an asymmetric hem. In its unadulterated form, it is in a plain, bright colour (best under the cameras), but is also available in monochrome. It claims to be a direct descendent of Roland Mouret’s Galaxy, although this provenance is hazy. It can be sexy in an Ivanka Trump Does Date Night kind of way. Sort of high-class bad taste.
