Autumn Dresses

As cooler days arrive, tights or over-knee boots become essentials. They extend the wearability of dresses and protect against the chill. Make sure the hem of your dress covers the boots slightly, for elegance and comfort. A long coat can complete the ensemble without sacrificing style.

Seasonal shades like olive, burgundy, warm brown, mustard, and forest green dominate this autumn. Pair them with neutrals like cream, beige, and black to balance the look. Use bold colours strategically to bring contrast and depth – not overwhelm.

Light sweaters, cardigans, oversized blazers, and capes are ideal companions. Layering isn’t just functional – it adds dimension and visual interest. Keep fabrics in the same tone family or with complementary textures so the outfit appears intentional and cohesive.

Checks, scarf motifs, and graphical elements bring personality. Let large prints shine in midi or maxi silhouettes, while shorter or simpler styles benefit from subtler accents. If the dress has a standout print, let the rest of the outfit play a supporting role.

Soft jerseys, chunky knits, velvet or mixed textures are perfect for the season. Shoes like boots (ankle or over-knee), closed toe styles, and stable soles help when the weather shifts. Don’t forget outer layers like coats or vests to finish off the look – stylish yet sensible.
