Once an undesirable fabric,
Prada has turned nylon’s reputation around for the good and made it its signature. You’ll find it on everything from backpacks to blazers and pieces like this dress. Shaped to a boxy shirt silhouette, it’s topped with a collar and short sleeves and stitched with a line of buttons racing down towards the thigh-grazing hem. Oh, and did we mention the label’s triangular logo at the chest? Could this get any cooler?
