Black dresses for beyond the beach

Are black designer beach dresses confined to sandy shores? Absolutely not. Resort wear embodies an effortless style that transitions seamlessly from holiday to home. On warm summer days, these black cotton dresses make perfect companions for warm summer days at home.  Long-sleeved black beach dresses are excellent for cooler evenings abroad and in between the seasons at home. Lindsey Brown’s signature embellishments on the sleeves add a refined elegance that transitions beautifully into evening. You can wear our Cannes and Melbourne dresses for dinner at home. In soft floaty cotton the fabric is so lovely to wear and feels fabulous against the skin.

Enhance your style after sunset with accessories and bold necklaces, swapping flip-flops for espadrilles or ankle boots for dinner. Many of our black beach dresses feature three-quarter sleeves or elasticated cuffs, offering both protection from the sun and a flattering aesthetic.

Choosing the Perfect Fabric

Are natural fibres the best for the ultimate fabric for black beach dresses? Without a doubt. Lindsey Brown’s soft crinkle cotton stands out as the premier choice for its breathability and lightweight nature, offering comfort and style in equal measure. The unique cotton blend, with a hint of viscose, adds a light stretch that enhances movement, ensuring the fabric flatters your figure effortlessly.  The natural fibre quality of our matt silk georgette that we use is not only durable but very cool to wear. Unlike satin silks and shiny silks, our matt silk georgette is very cool in hot temperatures.

Choose from our matt black short silk kaftan named Acapulco or the silk maxi kaftan version called Rio. Both these beautiful silk kaftans are decorated with black sequin shaped discs around the neckline. The patterned vertical tie dye that we used in our collections is so flattering. It also allows the wearer the feel more covered up as even though silk is semi sheer, the pattern creates texture and depth to any of our black silk luxury resort wear.
