It’s our job to pore over the trends so that you don’t have to, separating the sure-to-be-short-lived from the enduring, and that’s exactly what we’re presenting you with here. Cue four key styles of dresses (because who doesn’t love the ease of a dress?) that we tipped as winners in our autumn 2022 trend report and that are looking like they’ll go the distance.
As we know all too well, the good weather on our shores can be short-lived, and before we know it, those temperatures will be cooling right down, so we’re thinking about dresses that can take us into the transitional time while still ticking off the trend-conscious box. From fuchsia hues to maxi hemlines, discover what styles our money is on below.
1. Silky Slip
Slip dresses are the #1 eveningwear choice this season, but they've also been given the daytime treatment—just throw a chunky jumper and step into a pair of thick-soled boots.
Because this is Reformation, we're confident it'll be ultra-flattering.
A great option for brides-to-be for their hen do or engagement party.
We can always count on Omnes for sleek and affordable slip dresses.
This tie-halter neckline feels really current.
Opt for a mini moment on your next cocktail night.
2. Barbiecore Pink
You may have noticed hot pink and fuchsia tones are everywhere right now. We're certain this will continue as we move through autumn/winter, so start looking for your perfect LPD (little pink dress).
If Villanelle met Barbie.
The simple silhouette makes this bright hue so much more wearable.
Pretty in pink.
You could almost wear this one into the office, depending on the dress code.
This subtle zebra print is bang on trend. Speaking of...
3. Animal Instinct
Zebra, tiger, cheetah, dalmation—it doesn't matter which animal print you have a penchant for; it'll fit right in with the season's trends. Wear with pared-back accessories to let the pattern pop.
I've tried this dress on in-store, and it's even better in the flesh.
Wear it as is or nip in your waist with a thin silver chain belt.
Ganni makes some of the best wrap dresses around, and this leopard-print number is no exception.
Carry this versatile dress from season to season.
This will look so chic styled with black knee-high boots.
4. Maximum Impact
Extreme hemlines seem to be a thing right now. On the one hand, '60s-style minis are causing a stir, but we also adore the parade of longline dresses populating 'new in' feeds.
Layer a fitted turtleneck underneath when the weather turns.
Cut-outs are still so cool.
Full-length and crafted from wool, this vibrant maxi is bound to keep you warm.
I don't know about you, but I love the idea of this navy blue paired with black accessories.
One for the boho dressers—just add cowboy boots.
