Transitional dresses to wear now

By CW Contributor on 25/8/2023

It's that tricky time of year when the mercury is just starting to drop but we're not quite ready to fully say goodbye to summer.

So if you're still dining al fresco or heading out for a walk, a transitional dress may be the answer.

We love how easy they are to style, whether that be with chunky boots, fresh new trainers, summer sandals or even ballet flats.

New knits

A knitted dress is a solid foundation for any autumn wardrobe. This season they're all about alluring necklines, flowing sleeves and bold prints.
