What’s new in dresses? On the high street, it’s about styles with versatility. Think: fabulous knitted dresses with sweeping lengths, high necks and great shapes that can look ultra-cosy (speaking of, see our favourite cosy outfits here) for daytime when paired with trainers or boots, and equally can be dressed up for the evening with a slinky pair of kitten heels.
As winter approaches, long and midi-length black dresses are coming into their own. These styles vary from Parisian-inspired polka dots at Dôen, to ultra-wearable dresses with scoop necks and full skirts (plus, pockets!) at & Other Stories.
If you’re looking for something that makes a statement, the below leopard print dress by Marks & Spencer is as versatile as they come: we love it styled with mock-croc boots and a cropped jacket, too.
Lastly, when it comes to forever dresses consider a style from Limerick designer Aoife McNamara, who just launched at Brown Thomas. Not only is McNamara’s eponymous and ethical label the first Irish fashion brand to receive B-Corp status, the designer works closely with Irish woollen mills to support the country’s textile industry. The brand’s duchess satin dress, below, with bow detailing, is sure to make a statement.
