THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS
All we need this winter is a LBD and a place to be. A little black dress is a style you can always rely on: a versatile hero to compliment every outerwear, accessory, hair or make-up choice. Our Gemma Carey Satin Bandeau Mini Dress is a timeless take on a black mini dress, channelling the tuxedo trend which is taking over the fashion world right now with satin trims and faux button details, making this a classic winter mini dress, perfect for pairing with glitz accessories for party season.
THE LEOPARD PRINT DRESS
Animal print has been, and continues to be, back in a big way. Dreary days call for uplifting winter outfits, and a printed dress adds personality and injects life into every women’s winter dress collection. Combat the grey skies with a winter mini dress, paired with tights and ankle boots, such as our Emina Chiffon Leopard Print Long Sleeve Mini Dress. This long sleeved dress flaunts its stylish leopard print across a silhouette with ruffle trims, sheer puff sleeves and matching self-tie belt. Less is more when it comes to accessorising with this lively style, we plan on pairing ours with drop earrings and a black coat for outdoor dressing.
THE KNITTED DRESS
A knitted dress should be deemed as a women’s winter outfit necessity. We love a versatile style, and a knitted number can be diversely styled as a work dress, winter wedding guest outfit or as a party dress. Soft and stylish, our Nia Mari Knit Dress ticks every box as knitwear, revamped. Modern day trends are channelled by this midi length dress, pairing a long sleeved silhouette with a roll neck and faux button details, which can be worn either way round, ideal for switching up your style for every wear.
THE FLORAL DRESS
A floral dress is a wardrobe hero all round, but we’re revitalising the traditional print for our winter floral dresses with details from embroidery to embellishment. Our floral dresses are flourishing, and our Foliage Chiara Tie Knot Neck Dress is a firm favourite at French Connection HQ. Beautifully bold red florals set upon a black backdrop give this design a dramatic edge, perfect for a winter dress, softened by a feminine meets contemporary tie knot neckline.
THE SEQUIN DRESS
Glisten up, because we’ve saved the party dress pièce de resistance till last. Our top pick for catching the light and capturing the attention of the room is none other than a scintillating sequin dress. Make a memorable entrance in a metallic midi dress this winter, such as our Sequin Mesh Mini Dress. A dazzling Midas touch to the wardrobe, shimmering sequin embellishment has this gold dress ready to rival the disco ball from work Christmas parties to seasonal soirees with the girls.
