It’s such a shame to let your summer wardrobe have all the fun; in my opinion, winter dresses are just so much better than their warm-weather counterparts. Crafted from luxurious velvets, hardy cottons and sumptuous silks, winter dresses are all about opulence and luxury. Whilst some may favour jeans or wool trousers throughout the coldest months, I maintain that a maxi dress is not only the more stylish solution but actually the warmer one, too.
Layering seamlessly over thick wool tights or even fleece-lined leggings, a longline dress is the ultimate in insulating winterwear. Whilst I’m enamoured with elegant long-sleeved maxi dresses, you don’t have to limit yourself to this one style during winter. When styled with a sharp blazer or a neat jacket, sleeveless and even strapless maxi dresses can add an elegant finish to your winter wardrobe. And right now, there are lots of excellent styles to consider.
Across the board, high-street and designer brands have crafted elegant winter maxi dresses for us to shop right now, from knitted roll neck styles to flowy black dresses peppered with gold embellishments, this season’s styles are better than any I’ve seen before.
Whether you’re looking for a winter maxi that’s doused in glitter, trimmed with lace or finished with a bow, read on to discover my edit of the best winter maxi dresses to shop this season.
