These 11 It Dresses Are Fashion's Hottest Property Right Now

What is it about dresses that makes them so covetable? Is it their versatility—the fact they can be dressed up or down with the switch of a shoe or the addition of a gold earring? That, or it could be how easy they make getting ready. Quite frankly, the only thing you need to concern yourself with is whether it's too crushed to wear without ironing before you simply pop it on two minutes before you need to head out. 

Either one of these reasons, if not both, is likely at the root of why they're so popular. So when a dress also happens to be designed beautifully, it's naturally going to be a hit with the fashion elite—and that can certainly be said of the frocks to follow. 

The below 11 dresses have all garnered quite the fan base this autumn, with us having clocked countless influencers and those in the know in each and every one. Remarkably, they're all still in stock, but we know that won't be the case for much longer. 

From Warehouse's '60s-style homage to Rixo's latest midi offering right through to the Scandi brand everyone wants to be in a position to name-drop, keep scrolling to see and shop autumn 2019's It dresses.
