Elegant European Dresses Perfect For Milan Fashion Week
When you hear elegant European dresses, what immediately comes to mind? For us, that’s a hard question. Between Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, you never quite know what’ll come out of Europe. While some envision a world of classic black dresses, others see the brightest colors and patterns. Regardless of your pre-envisioned opinion, we’ve got 30 dresses that’ll surely wow you and your mind. With Milan Fashion Week on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to stock up on the most elegant European dresses. After all, dressing appropriately to the shows is of the utmost importance. However, with so many brands having European-inspired looks in their latest collections, we think you too might have problems picking which ensemble to wear.
Elegant Dresses In All Black
For those who favor elegant European dresses in all black–this is for you. Black is easily one of the most reputable, classic colors of them all. While not necessarily a color at all, we’d like to think of it as a combination of them all. After all, what better way to give your outfit a solid foundation than with a slaying black dress? Even if it’s not a LBD, wearing a black piece to Milan Fashion Week is just as show-stopping as wearing a bright pink one. Sometimes keeping it simpler, like with the REBECCA TAYLOR Tulle Sleeveless Smocked Dress, is the key to getting noticed. Paired with gold accessories and a statement handbag or pair of shoes, everyone will be wondering why you too aren’t on the runway.

Shock The Whole Continent With Color
Elegant European dresses come in all shapes and sizes, however, most don’t automatically credit them to color. While black is certainly a versatile direction to take, sometimes you just want to go outside of the box, especially for Fashion Week. If you’re headed to Milan, you might want to snag the EMILIA WICKSTEAD Carita Off-the-shoulder Cloqué Dress to wear to the shows. While you might see brighter colors at Paris Fashion Week, why not welcome them to Milan too? Similarly, the RICHARD QUINN Crystal-neckline tulip-print silk kaftan Dress is another eye catcher worth your time and attention. These two pieces pair perfectly with black accessories as a contrast, and with a bit of confidence, they’ll surely take you far!
