EXPERT ADVICE:
DRESS For Success
“The wrap dress works well on almost any figure type. Its modest V-neck, long sleeves and knee-grazing length are office-appropriate, while an animal print gives it a modern edge.”
JUDITH & CHARLES
Unlike mix-and-match separates, dresses represent effortless ease – something women really appreciate on mornings when they’re running late or simply can’t decide what to wear. Here are four dress styles that make smart investments for work hours and beyond.
CATHY DeSERRANNO

For more information or to schedule an appointment, email cathy.deserranno@brookfield.com or call 416-862-6322.
“A three-season dress is a must for every woman’s wardrobe. Strong tailored lines stand in well for suiting, while bracelet-length sleeves let you add a personal touch with accessories.”
M FOR MENDOCINO
“Feminine dresses can still mean serious business. Avoid looking too girly by contrasting frills and flowy fabrics with a strong autumn colour like this deep, rich teal.”
RW&CO.
“A sleeveless dress offers all-day versatility, going from client meetings to cocktail parties with ease. Featuring on-trend colour-blocking, this dress slides easily under a jacket by day and works alone after five.”
