We hate to be the bearers of bad news (or good news, depending on your seasonal preference) but winter is definitely on its way. And while the temperatures may drop and grey clouds might become a little more prevalent, there’s no reason that the season has to be any less exciting than its warm weather counterparts… at least sartorially speaking.
In fact, winter might just be the most interesting season of all when it comes to getting dressed, as the reliance on layers makes way for experimenting with interesting outfit combinations. Of course, it’s always important to ensure you have your bases covered so today we’re bringing you a selection of versatile dress options that are perfect for the cooler weather.
Already this season we’re seeing the emergence of several unique winter dress trends, with many of summer’s most popular silhouettes being reimagined with cooler weather in mind. The cut-out trend (which seems to be everywhere right now) will continue its reign into the winter, as dresses with keyhole details, cut-out waist and open backs have debuted across e-commerce sites throughout Australia. Summer’s saturated shade trend will also maintain its popularity, proving that bold block colour is just as welcome in winter.
Of course, it wouldn’t be winter without a few knit dresses around and this season they’re being offered with flattering collar details and button-down fronts. Keep scrolling to see 8 winter dresses that deserve a spot on your wishlist.
