8 Ways to Style The Revolve Dress

Dressy or casual, you decide.

Around five years ago, we envisioned a dress that could do it all. A piece that was versatile, timeless and comfortable to wear. From those ideas we created The Revolve Dress, and instantly you had six outfits ready for any occasion. Now years later, we decided to bring back one of our classiest and most versatile pieces.

Made from the same fabric as our essential Chrysalis Cardi, this versatile dress will have you feeling comfortable all day long. Supporting ethical and sustainable fashion, we at Encircled are delighted to show how you can wear The Revolve Dress. Plus, with the #ComfyWorkwearRevolution in full swing, the timing of our relaunch could not have been any better.

Get to know The Revolve Dress: Our most versatile dress is back (for a limited time only).

Is it a dress? Is it a top? Is it a tunic?

In case you’re wondering, it’s all of the above.

Featuring a cowl or boat neckline, you get to choose which reversible style best suits your look. The pleated shoulder details add that extra touch of elegance with full length sleeves. But most importantly, the adjustable length allows you to easily wear the piece as a top, tunic or dress.

Available in three classic colourways (black, sapphire and plum), The Revolve Dress will make it easy for a casual or dressy look.

With our excitement for the relaunch, we thought it would be fun to show just how versatile the piece is. Whether you're grabbing coffee, heading to a meeting, or even just lounging at home, why not have a dress that can do it all. As a refreshing way to spark up new style inspiration, here are eight looks that we created with The Revolve Dress.

1. The Revolve Dress + Purse + Heels

As our social lives and dinner plans have been moved virtually for now, it’s always helpful to have a go-to look for when the time comes. With a cowl neckline and above the knee dress length, this elegant style is best complemented with simple accessories. Paired with a black purse and heeled sandals, you’ll be dinner party ready in no time. To add a touch of colour, we suggest gold hooped earrings and a matching necklace for a hint of sparkle. If you’re feeling extra dressy, consider tying your hair in a low bun to show off just how elegant your jewelry is.

2. The Revolve Dress + The Unblazer + Mules

If the weather hasn’t been as warm as it's supposed to, try throwing on The Unblazer to add a cozy layer to your dress. Made from modal fabric, the soft knit will keep you feeling warm all day long. Styled with the boat neck option and slip on mules, a simple and classic outfit is created. Suitable to wear to the office, this pairing will have you looking effortlessly chic. Styling tip: if you have evening plans after work, a pair of heels and sheer tights can easily elevate your look!

3. The Revolve Dress + Tote + Sneakers

For this outfit, we decided to keep it cool and casual. Reminiscent of a warm spring day, you’ll want to take a stroll in the cowl neck dress and maybe buy some flowers to fill your tote bag. Suitable for women with a minimalist wardrobe, this style brings out the charm in simplicity. The dress’ classic silhouette flatters and drapes wonderfully throughout the body. Lastly, pair this casual day look with white sneakers and get ready to grab your morning coffee looking comfortably stylish.

4. The Revolve Top + Dress Pant + Mules

If you’re looking to wear your favourite trousers to work, why not transform your dress into a top? For this work appropriate outfit, we chose the boat neck option and styled the top with a grey dress pant (or even better, The All-Day Wide Leg Pant). Adjusted to the shortest length and a tucked in waistband will allow you to go about your day well put together. Additionally, mules or loafers can be paired to complete this style.

5. The Revolve Top + Denim + Heels

To achieve that dressy denim look, we styled The Revolve Dress as a cowl neck top for the nights you want to be elegant and functional. With the dress adjusted to its shortest length and slightly tucked in, it is transformed into a beautifully draped top that sweeps across the shoulders. The full sleeves are rolled up for a ¾ length and add that extra bit of style to the outfit. For a classic feel, pair with neutral heeled sandals and a black clutch to store your phone, wallet and of course, our organic cotton face mask.

6. The Revolve Top + Denim + Sneakers

Somedays you just want to throw on a simple outfit for the times you have back to back errands to run. As a style that's casual and practical, the boat neckline and medium wash jeans fit perfectly together in this outfit. Throw on some white sneakers for that laid back look and get ready for the weekend. With hair styled down, this could be your time to finally read your book or go to that farmers market down the block. Whichever weekend activity you chose, The Revolve top will keep you looking classic and feeling comfortable.

7. The Revolve Tunic + The Dressy Legging + Cardigan + Mules

With spring just around the corner, having transitional pieces in your wardrobe is a must. Perfectly cozy and chic, we adjusted The Revolve Dress into a hip hugging tunic. With a boat neckline and draped waist, the look is best when styled with The Dressy Legging. Made from luxurious rayon bamboo, the soft leggings will add an extra bit of comfort to any outfit. With a simple long cardigan and your favourite pair of mules, this springtime look is effortless and will keep you warm.

8. The Revolve Tunic + The Fair Legging + The UnMoto + Slides

For the days you want to feel cool but stay functional, try out this easy tunic look. We chose a cowl neckline and kept the adjusted dress at hip length. To add some texture, The UnMoto jacket creates the perfect balance that contrasts the draped tunic. For a classic yet casual feel, we finished the look with The Fair Legging which will leave you feeling luxuriously soft. Whether you’re going to the grocery store or just out for a walk, feel free to swap the slides for a simple white sneaker. Versatile, comfortable and timeless, The Revolve Dress really does it all!
