The Must-Have Dresses for Every Event on Your Calendar
Who needs a cape when you have a dress?
If you can think of an outfit one step away from PJs in terms of comfort, it is the dress. This ultimate wardrobe superhero blends style, comfort, and functionality effortlessly. It is the lazy girl’s guide to fashion—to look put together with minimal effort. Whether you’re jetting to far-flung shores or strutting to your office in fifty-degree heat, there is a dress for every occasion.
At Qua, we envision our dresses as modern heroines—minimalist in design yet powerful in impact and versatile in their use. Take, for example, the Flared Maxi Knit Dress. This piece effortlessly transitions from sipping cocktails at an upscale beach resort to clinking champagne glasses at a formal dinner, all with just a quick change of footwear.

1. The Work Dress
Polished, pin-tucked and professional - this is what we imagine Sophia Richie would wear if she were working a 9-to-5. It's serving "Hampton's mom on-duty" realness, striking the perfect balance between professional sophistication and contemporary style. The elevated standing neckline and neck-to-hem pintucks add authority, while the sleek belt and pencil skirt bottom lend sculptural prowess to the ensemble. Pair it with your favourite tinted shades and no-nonsense mules, and you’re ready to run the show.

2. The Evening Dress
What’s long, lean and luxurious? Hint: It’s also scarlet, sexy and sensational. The Fluted Button-Down Dress merges the ease of a shirt - a one-piece collar, a button-down concealed placket, a darted body and short sleeves—with the elegance of a gown - a flared hem, a stately train, and an eye-catching hue. Style yours with barely-there heels, a black clutch and gold accents and make a memorable entrance.

3. The Day-To-Night Dress
You know those days when you keep pressing the snooze button and wake up in a flurry, with wild hair, swollen eyes, and a day packed with appointments? That’s the day you grab this dress. It effortlessly transitions from school drop-offs to work meetings to a well-deserved dinner, keeping you polished and comfortable all day. The open-back design adds a signature Qua edge to the ensemble. Grab onto your largest tote and throw on a pair of strappy sandals, and you’ll be ready for whatever the day has in store for you.
