If you are struggling to decide what to get a special lady this Christmas, POLKO has come to the rescue. They have designed a dress that is wearable in fourteen ways, making it an entire capsule wardrobe in one intelligent and convertible design.

The pressure is always on for a woman to have an outfit for every occasion (much to the bemusement of many men). From work to social events, we women feel that the onus is upon us to always look unique and stunning, and the risk of being seen in the same outfit twice doesn’t bear thinking about.

Putting this type of pressure on oneself results in a great deal of stress; however, I’ll concede that it’s hard to avoid as it’s part and parcel of human nature for most women to want to look their best on every occasion.

But, having multiple, often single-use outfits makes little basic or financial sense in this day and age and just fills wardrobes with clothes that will probably never sell the light of day again.

Plus, as far as Maheen Sadiq’s POLKO and other forward-thinking companies are concerned, having a large number of rarely used outfits will only result in problems for the environment by contributing to the ever-growing mountain of discarded textiles being buried in landfills now and down the road.

The good news is that POLKO’s dress could make this a thing of the past as POLKO. The fashion brand’s innovative new dress is a one-of-a-kind, money-saving design which can be converted into an incredible fourteen different outfits. It’s one of those, “Why didn’t I think of those ideas?”

POLKO has created a dress that a woman can whenever she wants, as many times as she wants—enabling her to do a lot more with less. And if you need any more reason why it should be the mainstay of your wardrobe, it’s also environmentally sound and has something us ladies will love—it has pockets!

How Does it Work?
The dress’s design offers eight dress options, ranging from maxi with full sleeves through midi with half sleeves to a strapless mini dress with all the permutations between. It also offers maxi, midi and mini skirts, which can be matched with other items from the wardrobe and/or three styles of top, which can be added to the skirts or paired with jeans, trousers or another skirt. Whatever works.

POLKO believes that clothes should be an investment. They should be strong, comfortable, and long-lasting, so the dress is made with premium fabric and is designed to stay looking great throughout the day, into the evening, and for years to come.

The material is soft and breathable, so it’s as kind to skin as it is to the planet. It’s also seasonless and elegantly timeless. With adjustable lengths and sleeves, it’s as comfortable in summer as it is in winter. This is the dress she never knew she needed but now won’t be able to do without!

A Gift for the Environment, Too
It is believed that the impact of clothing emissions could be reduced by 44% if people wore their clothes just twice as often as they do now. Imagine the difference that could be made by wearing—and re-wearing the POLKO dress.

Not only will the recipient of this amazing dress look fabulous, but the wearer will feel amazing, as they will be armed with the knowledge that what they have on is helping to reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion.

Overall, POLKO’s dress goes down in my books as a thoughtful and sensible present.

The POLKO Dress has an RRP of £280 and is available from www.polko.co.uk.
