In autumn, more than at any other time of the year, the dress always becomes a true wildcard for creating the most elegant looks in any wardrobe. As temperatures drop, this versatile garment explores an infinite variety of styles, colors and forms of expression.

Fashion experts pair them with knee-high boots and wedge shoes to achieve sophisticated ensembles, but ones that do not come off as too old-fashioned. From mini designs in black with jewel buttons to midi versions with original prints. The possibilities are virtually endless.

What’s the key to success? Opt for designs with impeccable cuts, that you can wear at night or by day and that have some detail that makes a difference. And to help you find the perfect dress, we have selected the best dresses that will define the autumn-winter season. You will find them at Zara, Mango, H&M or Sfera.
