Jackson Black Floral Maxi Dress with Lace Trim

Black florals read differently — moodier, a little more grown-up — and the Jackson leans into that. This sleeveless maxi is the piece for warm-weather plans that call for something with a point of view.

The deep V neckline is edged in a delicate lace trim, which softens the neckline without tipping it sweet, and a tie closes the bust so you decide exactly where it sits. The design is sleeveless, the side zip is invisible, and the dress is unlined — three choices that keep it airy from shoulder to hem.

The skirt runs to full maxi length, letting the dark floral print carry the look. Sandals and a straw bag keep it daytime; trade up to a heel and the same dress works for dinner in the garden. When the forecast says hot and the plan says all day, this is the one.
