free people velvet dress balloon sleeve mini in red * Side pockets* Back tie detail* Rolled sleeve cuff feature Cozy Velvet Shirt Dress |

This combination strikes a perfect balance between edgy and elegant

The pieces look great separately, too try the top with a satin slip skirt, or team the trousers with a cashmere jumper

With this non-coat outfit my attention goes to the balance between the fit of the jeans - slim but comfortable, a flattering rise - the fit of the Rubato knit - shorter, bigger, tapered - and the little touches of colour that stop it all being monochrome - the colour 8 loafer, rather than black, the navy bandana

Paring the dress with heels or flats can work on many different occasions and will present a business outfit that is on another level

Featuring exposed boning and a sculpted V-waistline, it cinches the figure beautifully, creating an ultra-flattering silhouette
