Women’s Autumn and Winter Dresses FAQs

How to Choose Women’s Autumn and Winter Dresses

Picking out a dress for the autumn and winter season can be tricky. Choosing something that will keep you warm and make you feel pretty as can be is a balance we’re rather good at striking here at Joe Browns, though.

Coverage is everything in winter, so choose long-sleeve styles and high necks to stay toasty. As for materials, we love cotton and wool for their insulating abilities. Try a jersey dress for comfiness combined with figure hugging flair or a knitted dress for ultimate winter style. 

How to Layer Women’s Autumn and Winter Dresses

Layers are an essential part of autumn and winter style. But layers aren’t just a seasonal necessity, they also present a fabulous opportunity to add oomph to your outfit.

A classic cardigan can be layered over an autumn or winter dress for an easy touch of insulation. Want a preppier and smarter layering option? Try a structured blazer over your autumn dress, and you’ll look unbelievably chic.

Layering under a dress is another warming option. Slide a long sleeve or high-necked top under your dress, or shimmy a slip underneath to stay toasty.

Don’t forget tights of course- the absolute essential for keeping your legs protected from the breeze no matter how long or short your dress is.

Finally, add a coat and warming accessories. Knitted hats, scarves, and gloves are perfect for something casual. For a more formal occasion, try a silky scarf, elbow-length gloves, or a luxurious fur wrap. 

How to Style Women’s Autumn and Winter Dresses

Styling a dress in autumn and winter offers so many opportunities to play with seasonal colours and styles. Explore jewel tones, deep reds, foresty greens and exquisite purples to really embrace the season.

We love pairing our dresses with boots in these colder months to keep our feet and legs warm, from cute ankle boots to warm thigh-highs.
