If Sassy, Skimpy Party Dresses Are Your Thing, This It Brand Does Them Best

There are many fashion categories that have benefitted from the pandemic. Loungewear became worth the investment and will still have a place in our day-to-day wardrobes, even as we start to ease out of the darkness. Chunky, sensible shoes and boots—think Tevas, Birkenstocks and even wellies—have been the footwear we gravitate towards on the regular, and there’s probably no going back. But with all fashion movements and those more obvious macrotrends comes the flip side. Maybe as a light relief from (or a fight against) our new armoury of ultra-comforting pieces, there has been a steep rise in revealing body-con looks. Perhaps none have been quite as “viral” as the vibrant, swirly, cut-out, barely-there dresses of Farai London, a brand th...
