Adhering to the age-old design philosophy “less is more”, clothing label Penumbra has continued its commitment to creating simply-elegant clothing with its latest collection. Combining fitted silhouettes with loose-fitting edges, the lineup is perfect for the sexpot-slash-modern woman.

Highlights within the monochromatic collection include the Cowl Back Maxi Dress and the One Shoulder Dress. Resembling a toga fit for a Greek goddess, the Cowl Back Maxi Dress’ modest front gives way to a dramatic plunging back; a staple shape this season, Penumbra’s take on the maxi is unmistakably sophisticated—and, arguably, a must-have.

Reminiscent of a dress Angelina Jolie might wear to one of her high-profile events, the One Shoulder Dress may be my favorite piece in the collection. The winged silhouette and shin-length hem separate this dress from other one-shoulder styles—and the look proves it doesn’t take a skin-tight, micro-mini for a woman to look sexy.

Whether you are a dedicated Penumbra shopper or your Penumbra love affair is new, a draped dress from the recent collection is a timeless piece you’ll likely want to add to your wardrobe this season.
