Collection: LE SOLEIL

The LE SOLEIL look: sculpted minis with detail

Most LE SOLEIL pieces are A-line mini dresses with one clear detail. The Raven Applique Mini Dress has a sweetheart neckline and applique, the Aurelia Sequin Mini Dress adds sequins and a ribbon, and the Rosalie Halter Mini Dress pairs a halter neck with draped seams and a ribbon trim. The Vogue Feather Mini Dress, Diamond Bead Mini Dress and Baby Bubble Mini Dress show how far the brand pushes texture at short length.

The maxi dresses are more formal. The Noire Mermaid Maxi Dress has a V-neck and bell sleeves, the Seren Halter Maxi Dress and Luminous Halter Maxi Dress are column halters, and the Aurora Off-Shoulder Maxi Dress and Elowen A-line Maxi Dress are softer, fuller shapes. The Lina Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress and Lacey Cape Sleeve Mini Dress bring the cape sleeve to both lengths.

Capsule collections and sets

LE SOLEIL is organized into three capsules at MEAN BLVD. The Radiant Rise Collection is the largest and includes the Radiant Rise Mermaid Set, a mermaid skirt and straight across top worn as one gown. The Lustre Hush Collection leans to sequins and darker tones, and the Ivory Muse Collection is white and ivory. Sets such as the Roselle Halter Set, Scarlet Bubble Set, Moon Sequin Set and Maison Boat Neck Set are complete two piece outfits.

When to wear LE SOLEIL

The mini dresses are made for cocktail parties, birthdays, engagement dinners and festive evenings; the maxi gowns and sets suit weddings as a guest and formal events. The cape sleeve and long sleeved styles, such as the Noire Mermaid Maxi Dress, are the ones Gulf customers pick for Ramadan night gatherings. See more in mini dresses, gowns and cape sleeve dresses.

How does LE SOLEIL fit?

A-line minis are fitted at the bust and waist and flare from the hip, so order by bust measurement. Halter and strapless styles have internal structure and should be snug. Mermaid gowns are fitted to the knee; follow the size chart for hips.

How do I style a LE SOLEIL mini dress?

The dresses carry the detail, so keep shoes and jewelry simple: a strappy heel and small earrings. For a long evening, pair the Lacey Cape Sleeve Mini Dress or Elara Ruffle Mini Dress with a slim clutch rather than a shoulder bag so the neckline stays clean.
