The Alexander McQueen Dresses Worth Buying
Alexander McQueen dresses show the house's dramatic tailoring and detail, from the short statement styles to the longer gowns and draped cuts. We pull together the ones worth knowing, with a view on which to buy first.
Mini and short dresses
The short dresses are the directional, going-out end, sharp tailoring and bold detailing that read instantly McQueen. They make the strongest impression for evenings. Start here if you want the statement piece.
Midi and longer
The midi and longer styles bring the house's drama in a more wearable length, from tailored cuts to flowing gowns. They suit events and dressier days. Reach for these for occasions over everyday.
Detail and tailored styles
The lace, knit and draped styles show the craftsmanship the house is known for, structured pieces with strong detailing. They sit between statement and everyday. A good buy once you know the occasion.
