Ruby Pencil Dress

The Ruby is a sleeveless denim dress in deep dark blue, built with a row of copper studs running across the yoke front and back, plus the same studs tracing the curved seam over the hip. A copper zip runs all the way from the V-neck down to the hem, so you decide how much leg and how much neckline you're in the mood for. The back stays high and round, two patch pockets sit at the seat, and contrast topstitching in brown-orange traces every seam. A slim denim belt with a small metal buckle cinches the waist, princess seams pull the shape through from bodice to skirt, and a back slit keeps the knee-length slim fit walkable.

Made from 98% cotton with 2% elastane, so the denim holds its structure but gives where you need it. Machine wash at 30°C, skip the bleach and the dryer, iron at 110°C max.

This is the piece you reach for when you want to look pulled together in about four seconds flat. It works year round, takes layers without losing its shape, and the copper hardware does all the talking so you don't have to accessorize hard.

• Full biker mode: dark red lip, leather jacket over the shoulders, chunky boots and a bandana in your hair
• Rockstar off duty: zip it high over a black turtleneck, opaque tights, flat creepers and a stack of silver rings
