Red mini dresses for parties and chilly dates

The December calendar in red velvet

Office party in mid-December, a friend’s birthday the week after, then New Year’s Eve. Velvet covers all three. Our red velvet mini covers your arms to the wrist and has a simple round neckline. It goes with black pumps, matte tights and a small black bag, and a black coat or a short fur jacket over it when you head out. Sit down at the fitting and look at where the hem ends up. On a mini that matters more than on anything longer.

The velvet wrap mini adjusts as you pull the belt, and that changes how deep the V goes. There’s also a one-sleeve version with a bare shoulder. Skip the necklace with that one and wear a single big earring on the open side.

Prefer satin? Our satin slip comes on skinny straps with no sleeves at all, and an oversized black blazer makes it work at the office party. More shades of the same color are on our red velvet page.

Rib knit for regular days, from work to the movies

Red in a plain cut is honestly the easiest way to wear it. The rib mini with a round neck stretches and sits close, so a leather jacket, 60-denier black tights and chunky boots are all you need on a Tuesday. At night? Stiletto pumps. Gold earrings.

The turtleneck red mini dress keeps your neck and arms covered and only the length is short. With a black blazer and thick tights, it’s fine at a desk. For a party, pull on over-the-knee boots and you’ll show very little leg between the hem and the boot.

The ruffled red mini is the one for a day full of photos. It’s an all-season style, with sneakers or loafers in spring and chunky boots and dark tights in fall.

Summer reds come back in March

The warm-weather ones sit out the winter. There’s a loose floral mini in viscose that doesn’t squeeze your waist, nice with flat sandals or espadrilles and a straw hat, and a red satin with tiny white flowers, 98 % polyester and 2 % elastane.

Frequently asked questions

Which red mini is the warmest?

The angora-blend one with ruffles at the hem. You won’t need a sweater over it.

Can a short red dress go to the office?

If your dress code allows a mini, yes. The rib one with a black blazer and loafers looks calm enough.

Is the red mini dress with a wrap good if I’m between sizes?

Yes. Pull the belt tighter or looser and the waist follows. Easy.

What size for the fitted turtleneck?

Measure your hips, since it hugs you all the way down. Our sizes run XS to XL, and an L is about a US 10. Then see every length on the full red range.
