Our Favorite Strapless Dresses for Statement-Making '90s Style

This black bandeau midi ($121) couldn't be more versatile. Complete with a sweetheart neckline and '90s-inspired cutouts, it's got plenty of attitude without being over the top. Pair it with a blazer and boots for nicer occasions or a simple pair of sandals for a day of running errands or brunch with friends. Don a choker, and you'll be giving serious '90s vibes (and we fully support that).

This sweet strapless midi ($898, originally $1,497) is as eye-catching as it is playful. The striped pattern along with the lace-up back provide an elongating and flattering look, while the underwire bodice gives extra support and style. Pop on some espadrilles and a straw hat for a warm day well dressed, and if you're heading on vacation somewhere exotic, this colorful dress is a must pack.

While quite a few of our recommended tube dresses offer a sweetheart neckline, this daring houndstooth mini ($80) has an alluring, angular plunge neck. It's a dramatic feature that makes the tweed dress a nighttime stunner. Wear it with a black blazer or a faux-leather jacket, perhaps some moto boots, and you've got a stylish '90s look full of attitude.

Bring some pleats to the party with this sophisticated emerald dress ($648). We love the movement provided by the smooth satin, myriad pleats, and elegant ruffle bodice. For upcoming parties or weddings, this dress will be a go-to: dazzling, comfortable, and perfect for dancing the night away.

This airy maxi dress ($304) is sweet (with delicate florals) and just a little spicy, thanks to a thigh-high slit and lace-up bodice. Wear this on vacation after a day of sunbathing, or recommend it to your bridesmaids for a dress they'll actually want to wear again. As for accessories: keep them simple. Neutral sandals will be just the thing to let this strapless maxi shine.

Got a holiday party coming up? Here's your festive piece. This celebratory mini ($84) looks like a gift itself: metallic, ruched, and wrapped with a colorblock belt. Available in bright pink or a rich cobalt, all it really needs is a bow — and a pair of preferably metallic shoes to complete the party-ready ensemble.

This sculptural strapless dress ($590) hinges on a piece of curved brass hardware. It's both slinky and elegant, a dress we'll definitely be wearing for date night. Pair it with some nude mules, grab a clutch, and you'll look absolutely alluring from head to toe.

Flirty on top and polished on the bottom are what you'll get with this midi cocktail dress ($84). We love the thin belt that defines the waist and the flattering darts along the bodice. This dress was made to enhance all your best features, making it a perfect night-out piece that'll turn heads.

With a billowy tiered skirt, a structured bodice, and a flattering shirred top, this strapless maxi ($172) was made for a garden party. We love the vintage-inspired floral print, one that would look right at home on the boardwalk (with a denim coat) or out in the city streets paired with a leather jacket. As for shoes, it depends on the activity, but you can't go wrong with white block-heeled pumps.

Class is the name of the game with this sophisticated Self-Portrait rib-knit midi ($347, originally $495). We adore the body-hugging shape, the sweetheart neckline, and the gold statement buttons. Consider it an essential winter white for upcoming celebrations — and be sure to take it out when the warm weather comes. It'll be a staple for fancy soirées and cocktail parties by the water.
