How to style
A DRESS IN WINTER

Spread the word – dresses aren't just for summer; they're for winter too! We might associate dresses with warm temperatures and long days, but they can be rocked all year. Although dresses can be worn throughout winter, a few handy tips and tricks will ensure you keep warm. Read on to learn how to style a dress in winter.

That’s right; you can rock a mini dress in winter too! Our favourite short dresses for winter include:

• Polo neck dresses
• Tiered dresses
• Wrap dresses
• Tea dresses

Slip on your mini dress over a pair of thermal black tights before adding knitwear. Choose cropped or oversized knitwear, whatever works with your style.

Find a coat roughly the same length as your dress, like a mid-length aviator jacket or teddy coat. For the shoes, slip on knee-high boots for added warmth or keep things simple with chunky loafers. Accessorise your outfit with a crossbody bag and dainty jewellery like a watch and pendant necklace.

Wearing a smart dress in winter can be a challenge – how do you stay warm without looking too casual?
If you want to style a smart dress, we've got you covered, no matter the event.

The smart casual winter look

Got an upcoming event with a smart casual dress code? Wear your dress over nude tights, then add a cropped jumper and an overcoat for a dramatic silhouette. Finish the outfit with heeled leather boots and a matching bag.

The winter office outfit

Does your office have a smart dress code? Grab your dress and a pair of tights. Pop on your go-to blazer and a trench coat for a formal look that’s practical too. Heeled Chelsea boots are dressy but comfy to wear all day. With a leather tote bag, you'll easily carry your work essentials.

The winter event look

Whether a winter wedding or anniversary, dressing for formal winter events is tricky; we suggest layering a fur jacket over your smart dress for a cosy evening. Maintain an elegant silhouette with a pair of kitten-heeled boots worn over tights. Add a glamorous flourish with dazzling silver jewellery and an embellished clutch bag.
