A little drama never hurt.

The MIZA Dress by Xenia takes the little black dress somewhere far more interesting. A clean, minimalist long-sleeve bodice gives way to a fluid satin skirt with a dramatic high-low hem — polished in the front, unexpected from every other angle.

The contrast of matte and shine makes this one of those deceptively simple Xenia pieces that does all the work for you. Wear it with tall boots for an effortlessly cool daytime look, or switch to heels and let the skirt bring the drama at night.

Modern, architectural and definitely not your basic black dress.

Why we love it:

• Sleek boat neckline
• Long sleeves
• Contrasting satin skirt
• Dramatic high-low hem
• Relaxed, easy silhouette
• An LBD for people who find ordinary LBDs boring.
