As we look forward to orange leaves, pumpkin spice lattes and an extra hour in bed, we’ve started to think ahead to our transitional wardrobe. If you’ve found yourself wondering “how should I dress in autumn?” too, then you’re in the right place. A dress is a timeless piece all year round, from every day casual dresses to special occasion dresses, so we’re taking a closer look at which dresses to wear for autumn.
CAN YOU WEAR A MINI DRESS IN AUTUMN?
The days are getting shorter, so why not replicate with an autumn mini dress? You may think a mini is reserved to being a summer dress, but we strongly disagree. If you’re looking to make an entrance at an event, the latest autumn fashion trend is to make the most of a mini dress – we’re talking bold silhouettes and attention-grabbing prints to vibrant colours or striking monochromes. Style it with tights and boots for a look that’s both practical and stylish as the temperature drops.
WHAT DRESSES CAN I WEAR TO WORK IN AUTUMN?
Nail your autumn dress code with a standout dress that’s both perfect for the office and after-hours events. This flattering sleeveless silhouette features a contrasting white collar, making it a fresh addition to your workwear collection.
The Gemma Collared Tie Sleeveless Mini Dress is ideal for versatile styling. Pair it with a crisp women's shirt or a contrasting top for a look that transitions effortlessly throughout the day. Whether dressed up with heels or down with ankle boots, this little black dress is a versatile staple that’s sure to make you feel confident and chic, earning you the title of best dressed colleague.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD AUTUMN WEDDING GUEST DRESS?
If your calendar is anything like ours, it’s packed full of events and your wardrobe is in need of autumn occasionwear. If you’re looking to make an entrance at every occasion this season, autumn floral dresses are your go-tos. Whether they star in tonal shades, showcase decorative detailing or present a playful silhouette, a flowery dress will always make the perfect plus 1. An autumn midi dress, our Draped Samira Mock Neck Dress for example, offers a flattering length to look chic whilst not upstaging the bride, making it a perfect autumn dress for weddings.
If your special occasion style is more understated, a black autumn maxi dress is a timeless addition to your dressing up collection. The beauty of maxi lengths lies in their versatility, offering elegance with minimal effort. Accessorising is key with this style, from glistening jewellery to a complimentary clutch bag. We vow that a maxi dress will be worn, well, to the max.

HOW TO STYLE A CASUAL AUTUMN DRESS?
Weekends filled with golden hour walks by the river, car boot sales and Sunday roast dinners call for a casual autumn outfit. A dress is the perfect effortless chic piece, and it’s easy to keep it casually styled for the season. Autumn outfits wouldn’t be complete without layering, from soft knitwear to a light jacket, and understated accessories. Midi dresses were made to be styled in autumn with your favourite boots and a structured bag, whilst mini dresses call for classic hoop earrings and a spritz of your favourite perfume.
Embrace the changing seasons with earthy tones, and experiment with deep burgundy and burnt orange shades in your dresses. These autumn colours create a rich palette that’s perfect for adding a warm feel to your wardrobe as the cooler months roll in. Knitted dresses, a fashion favourite, are ideal for the season, offering both comfort and style for every outing, from a lunch in the city to watching the fireworks.
