Autumn and Winter Dresses: Get the Latest Look

The summer holidays are over so pack away those flowery dresses and turn your attention to what will be worn over the autumn and winter seasons. Along with shades and tones from the traditional autumn palette such as burnt ochre, honey, cinnamon and brandy, there is also the promise of bold reds and subtle browns to come.

Depending upon the occasion there is a plethora of styles to choose from. For smart everyday or informal evening wear try a thigh-length black and grey dogtooth print dress. Shape hugging and stylish this little number will turn heads and subtly shaded opaque tights and ankle boots complete the look.

As well as the usual seasonal colours and the eternally popular black, red is also returning with aplomb this autumn and winter. But, not just subtle shades, as scarlets and tomato reds will be prevalent. Indeed, the bolder the better especially when it comes to formal occasions. A red satin cocktail dress will look the part at any upmarket occasion, as will a red floral hem knee length dress with thin straps that emphasise the bare shoulder.

Black never goes out of fashion and this autumn and winter there will be plenty of black little numbers to get your hands on. For something different and affordable try a black exposed zip shirt dress, which are readily found on the high street, show plenty of leg and are ideal for a relaxed party atmosphere. Alternatively, a black silk and jersey evening dress will add a touch of glamour to any formal occasion.

And while black is always a safe choice, purple is a strong, vibrant colour which is hitting the fashion scene this autumn and winter. Combine this with the popular new wet looks and popular studded dress styles and you will be ready to hit the streets in this year’s latest autumn and winter fashions.

Dresses for work can be smart, such as in animal print or a combined animal print and black dress, or if you work in a more casual environment a cable knit dress will do the job. Alternatively, pretty checked dresses are also ideal for workwear; either with a ruffle front or a hitch up hem. Also affordable and ideal for everyday wear are belted shift dresses, and for the uber-smart occasion the black pinstripe dress.

But, although the styles and trends may change the rules don’t, so with any of these outfits don’t forget to accessorise! Shboots are the on-trend footwear items to be coveted this season, and they fit particularly well with either casual or formal dresses, to be worn with patterned, lacy or bright opaque tights.

Whatever the occasion, there’s a dress out there for you – so go and find it!.
