What’s the difference between a sheath and a shift? While both offer clean, knee-skimming silhouettes, a sheath is fitted at the waist and hips, while a shift is straighter and more relaxed. Both styles are timeless and versatile, simple yet sexy. Pair them with blazers or cardigans at the office. Lose the topper and add some bold jewelry, and you’re suddenly ready for cocktails. These are perfect desk-to-dinner dresses.
