The September checklist (decide in minutes)
- Length: Midi is the most versatile (church to dancefloor). Maxi adds instant polish and photographs longer and leaner.
- Colour: Jewel tones, emerald, navy, burgundy, are your autumn cheat code. Neutrals work if the fabric has movement (satin/pleats).
- Fabric: Satin, crepe and soft pleats = comfortable, crease-resistant, photo-ready.
- Fit: Look for “skims the waist” rather than bodycon tight; it reads richer and feels better for long days.

Why these pieces convert (and get re-worn)
- They flatter on camera — movement (pleats, fluid skirts) + clean lines = expensive in photos.
- They’re season-proof — add a wrap, blazer or boots and you’re set through October.
- They’re emotion-first — rich colours, refined silhouettes, and details that feel special the moment you zip up.
