I have a lot of black dresses in my closet because I think black is an essential color. I have a few perennial favorites, but this gem from Vestito is my go-to dress nowadays. I think I've already worn it thrice last week!


When you say LBD, Audrey Hepburn and her iconic shift dress are the first things that will come to mind. I still admire that style and would love to have one, but new seasons call for new trends. I find the shift dress a bit formal for casual days, and this is the reason why I'm madly in love with this Vestito dress. I particularly love it for its cut and style that can be worn from dog strolls to cocktail parties. I wear it with flats for a laid-back look, and slip on some pumps and add chunky and flashy jewelry for a chic party look. This dress is a great mix of sophistication and sexiness.

Vestito means "Dressed" in Italian. Angela Batoon, owner of Vestito, got bored of the usual dresses available in the market. She mused that she 'couldn't find a dress that can look glam in any occasion.' It's either they're too casual, or too dressy. Her search for the elusive versatile dress went on, and one day, she finally decided to make one herself. And Vestito was born. Her friends admired the classic and sophisticated feel and designs of her clothes, and this led her to share her much- loved dresses to everyone.


Vestito is available at The Ramp at Crossings.
