Some view putting on a dress as making an effort. Others see them for the one-and-done outfit solution they are. Both sides often fall into the trap of viewing dresses as seasonal, but, we’d argue, that limits our dressing potential drastically. We know it's likely to be seriously chilly for the next few months, but dresses are as easy to wear in winter as they are in summer. This season, we’re making a case for dresses all year round. Hear us out.
1. One and done
1. One and done
Buy back the time spent each morning deciding whether this shirt goes with these pants, or if this top needs to be tucked, half-tucked or untucked. A dress is instant success. Monday morning’s best friend. Anything you add to it is up to you and your personal flair. In winter we would choose boots and a knitted layer or go-to jacket.
2. Comfort and style
Our favourite combination – wearing dresses year-round can offer comfort and style. Opt for a stretchy jersey, tactile knit or loose silhouette and you’ll prefer your winter dress over separates any day. Step into chunky ankle boots, ballet flats or loafers.
3. Put together without trying
Depending on the designs you choose, dresses are a cheat to looking polished with little-to-no effort required. A shirt dress, layered for the temperature, is ideal for work, weekend brunches, parents’ evening, interviews, meeting the in-laws – the list goes on and on. A slip dress can be sleek in a nonchalant way and works perfectly with a tee, a cosy knit or tailored outerwear.
4. Dress up or down

A dress can be a blank canvas for whatever else you throw at it – formal or relaxed depending on the day. Even a bright number, printed, glittery, anything, can be played down with a shearling leather jacket, oversized trench or athletic sweater. The versatility factor sees them on heavy rotation in our wardrobes.
