After dark

Evening pieces: dresses, tailoring, heels and small bags.

Dressing after dark centers on tailored suiting, sculptural dresses, and rich textures made for evening social hours. Crisp wool jackets frame fluid silk skirts in shades of blue, beige, and stark white to create clean contrast under dim lighting. Evening dress has deep roots in Paris, where Nina Ricci opened as a couture label in the thirties and where Coperni and Patou show today.

Coperni cuts clean, futurist dresses, and Patou, revived by Guillaume Henry, is known for rounded shapes and full sleeves. Suit jackets, jumpsuits and mini skirts fill out the rest.

WDLT117 in Toronto carries nearly all of it: skirts, dresses and tailoring from Coperni, Patou, RUOHAN and Issey Miyake. Utopia in Toronto adds Chrome Hearts, and Due West adds Adidas x Song For The Mute.

Common questions

What defines dressing after dark?
Evening clothes balance sharp tailoring with fluid, draped fabrics. A structured jacket over a silk skirt gives clean lines and stays comfortable all night.
Which designers make pieces for after dark?
Clean geometric cuts from Coperni create striking evening dresses. Unconventional hemlines from Ottolinger bring raw energy to tailored trousers.
What should men wear after dark?
A dark suit or a pleated Homme Plisse Issey Miyake set works, with a plain shirt or a fine knit. A Chrome Hearts ring adds one strong piece.
