As the definitive authority on floral dresses (we’ve been creating iconic botanical prints since 1875), it falls to Liberty to pick out the season’s standouts, and this submission from RIXO is certainly in the running for best in show. Why? Whilst its repeated posy pattern combines fresh greenery with vibrant blooms, the black base colour makes it effortless to layer-up with chill-cancelling knitwear. Playfulness and practicality – what’s not to like?
A great outfit can make you feel infinitely better, so tap into the fantasy and mood-enhancing potential of fashion with this dreamy, kimono-style midi. Designed by Liberty’s collective of artisans, cut from luxuriously soft silk satin and inspired by the resortwear of old Hollywood It-Girls, its rich botanical print will conjure up images of a tropical paradise and transport you (at least in your imagination) to its balmy climes – exactly what you need now that we’re in the midst of winter’s icy spell.
An outfit frantically pieced together in a hurry can leave you on a downer for the rest of the day. The remedy? This throw-on-and-go dress from Liberty newcomer, Lovebirds. Combining voluminous, blouse-like sleeves with a v-neck midi crafted from spliced-together panels of denim, it comes ready with plenty of in-built interest, meaning minimal styling input is needed your end – ideal for days when you’ve hit snooze once too often.
If you’re required to wear cocktail attire this party season but can’t say with certainty which dresses actually fit such criteria, rest assured that this one by La DoubleJ ticks all the required boxes. Crafted from a speckled, ultra soft Devoré velvet that glows with vibrant colour, this comfy – but ultimately elegant – swing dress also features hidden side pockets and an A-line silhouette that’s practically made for partying the night away, cocktail in hand.
After the trophy for Best Dressed this festive season? With this lavish maxi at hand, consider the prize already yours. With puffed sleeves and a pleated off-the-shoulder neckline that cascades down to a voluminous A-line skirt, its imposing silhouette of couture-like proportions will earn you plenty of glowing compliments. Crafted from crisp taffeta (so it’ll keep its shape all night long) and aptly candy coloured in a Quality Street purple, it’s bound to become the jewel in your eveningwear collection.
Calling all collectors: here’s a dress with cult status you’ll want to induct into your forever wardrobe. From the design studio of Issey Miyake and featuring the Japanese label’s innovative pleats, this rich burgundy midi comes complete with slender long sleeves, a sharp shirt collar and a quality you as an in-the-know dresser always looks for in an investment piece: everlasting appeal.
Styling floral prints with one another can be a tricky artform to master, but not if you make this KITRI dress the focal point of your outfit. With long blouson sleeves, a tiered skirt and a rounded neckline (ideal for a chunky chain to sit neatly on top), it combines two clashing yet complimentary rose prints into one harmonious mix so you don’t have to. Who doesn't love a dress that requires minimal styling effort?
Whatever your sense of style, there’s one dress that’s coveted universally at this point in the year: the knitted midi – and this one from FARM Rio takes top spot this season. Cream with a chunky cable-knit construction, bobble accents and a folded off-the-shoulder neckline, slinking yourself into this cosy wardrobe staple feels like a warming woolen embrace – exactly what’s needed now temperatures are dropping.
With everlasting appeal and the rare ability to suit everyone, the black dress is nothing short of a wardrobe cornerstone, so there’s every reason to let this maxi make its way into your autumn/winter dress rotation. Hailing from the design studio of Cecilie Bahnsen – the cult label that blends everyday wearability with the intricate art of couture – its sculptural silhouette comes complete with elegantly puffed-sleeves, dramatic ruffles and oversized ribbons for added volume. So, it goes to show that wearing black need never be boring.

A new wave of glamour is sweeping across bridalwear, beauty and jewellery this spring/summer, making this flamboyant maxi dress by British brand RIXO a season standout.
