If summer was the season for barely-there slips and lightweight linens, Autumn/Winter 2025 is the time to amp up the drama when it comes to dresses. Think lashings of lace and leather, frivolous fringing, and bold pops of colour that don’t immediately scream “autumn”. Take Barbie pink, cobalt blue and a generous spectrum of green hues as just a small glimpse into what’s on the agenda.
It’s the season, after all, when many fashion fans start to experiment more with their wardrobes, as dull, dreary days call for an injection of joy from any source possible. And fortunately, there’s no shortage of new dress trends to choose from—whether you’re channelling Chloé’s boho chic, Khaite’s minimalist aesthetic, or Stella McCartney’s razor-sharp corpcore. The latter even made its mark on the London Fashion Week street style set recently, proving that workwear has never been so cool.
