Victoria Beckham Just Wore the "Basic" Dress Trend That's All Over H&M and Zara

In my years working in the fashion industry, I've come to accept the reality that often, it's the simplest things that end up looking the best.
I really should know this by now, as most mornings involve me rattling through my wardrobe, trying on item after item before flinging them onto my bed and inevitably opting for an iteration of the same easy outfit I always wear. It's also a good reminder as we move into party season to not get too caught up in trends and to stick to an easy and elegant base that I know I'll feel good in.
Inspiring me to do just that, Victoria Beckham was out over the weekend wearing the specific dress trend I always like to come back to at this time of year. Styling an elegant draped dress in fresh white complete with a cowl neck and a swishy hem, Beckham wore this basic yet elegant dress very well indeed.
Beckham's dress, which looks to be made from a thick jersey material, draped over her body for a comfortable finish and an elegant silhouette. Styling it with burgundy pointed-toe heels and a light spattering of jewels, the singer-turned-designer kept the rest of her look simple and perfectly in tune with her refined sense of style.
For its elevated ease, the draped dress trend is one that fashion people often reach for when they have a special occasion to dress for. And luckily for us, there are plenty of brilliant versions available across the market. Whilst I have my eye on one or two from H&M and Zara, I'm also very interested in Reformation, St. Agni, and of course, Victoria Beckham's styles, too.
To shop the dress trend with VB's seal of approval, read on to discover our edit of the best draped dresses.
