Gothic Victorian Romance
Lace panelling, exuberant high-neck collars and sheer fabrics are all the rage this season.
Bring out your inner romantic goth with a mix of black and nude coloured dresses that ooze 19th century chic.
Mango’s black sleeveless gown with lace panelling is an understated yet elegant piece that will suit any formal dinner party.
Warehouse’s short Victorian-meets-Boho shift dress offers full coverage, but still has the option to flaunt some flesh. It features bead detailing and a removable black slip.
We also can’t get enough of Karen Millen’s stunning dress collection, that mixes different fabrics, embellishments and that much needed ‘wow’ factor.
The two ethereal designs see on the one hand, black and white ruffled lace strips and on the other tulle mesh with velvet embroidery.
Lady in Red
From sultry off-the-shoulder cuts to full embellishments, red is the statement colour for any special occassion.
Whether you’re celebrating something big, or just want to blow the socks off your other half, this bold trend will certainly have you turning heads.
River Island’s bardot bodycon dress oozes sex appeal, while the Ted Baker embellished collar tunic dress is a perfect blend of sweet and sass.
Of course, if you want to opt for red this season, then red lace is the way to go.
The Karen Millen beaded collar lace dress is a cut beautifully with cap-sleeves and a scallop hem line.
For the ‘Jessica Rabbit’ look, opt for H&M’s sultry bandeau bodycon dress with a high thigh split.
Big Prints and Floral Chic
Graphic prints and florals are another big Winter look that will add a splash of colour to the bitter cold.
Whether you opt for big block prints in bold multi-colour, this trend really gives you the chance to experiment with your brighter and more quirky side.
Topshop offer a close-fitting red floral lace number that will accentuate your curves, while River Island’s mosaic print in sea green and orange is a funky full sleeve midi dress that you can match with knee-high boots.
We absolutely adore H&M’s straight-cut green patterned dress that really is a steal at £14.99.
Zara’s oversized floral dress offers a more casual chic look with its wide sleeves and velvet fabric.
Jacquard and bronze is a perfect combination for the Ted Baker flared dress that screams nouveau vintage.

Liquid metallics are the perfect party choice for a sleek and seductive silhouette.
Both Topshop and River Island offer a delectable selection, with high neck, cut-out bodycon dresses to vibrant pleated skirts.
River Island’s high-shine emerald glitter dress sees long sleeves, a plunging neckline and asymmetrical hem – an ideal party number.
Sequins and Embellishments
Nothing quite says Winter festive than sequins galore.
Glittery mini dresses combining sparkle and embellishment are a brilliant outfit for any night out, sit-down dinner, or New Year’s celebration.
Forever 21’s silver sequined V-back mini dress is fun and flirty, while the embellished collection from ASOS mixes ombre shades with metallic blue hues.
Topshop and Warehouse also offer tinselled-sequin dresses for that glitter ball effect, while Mango’s V-neck A-line dress sees delicate beaded silver embroidery over black.
Covered in shiny sequins and a festive cocktail in hand, you’ll most definitely be the centre of the party.
Luxurious Velvet
A perfect choice for cocktail hour, velvet exudes luxury and should be saved only the very very important occasions.
Mango’s off-the-shoulder velvet dress offers an elegntly sophisticated, yet minimal look.
Alternatively, Jack Wills offers a youthful take on velvet with an easy fit-and-flare dress with a traditional check pattern.
Another steal from H&M is this crushed black velvet gown with a halterneck collar. It is backless, enjoys a high split and exudes a chic finesse.
