Team Who What Wear are firm believers in the power and versatility of a good winter dress. While there’ll always be a place in our hearts for the perfect pair of jeans or a chunky knit, if chosen correctly, a dress can become one of those multi-tasking cold weather heroes. Just think of a wool roll-neck midi: You can throw it on with tights and boots in two seconds flat for an easy weekend look, then swap out your combats for heeled knee-highs, add some gold hoops, and voila, you have an elevated ensemble, even if you’re just heading out for a walk.
Conveniently, chunky boots are very much holding onto the spotlight for the foreseeable future, so you don’t need to worry about the ‘what shoes to wear with a winter dress’ conundrum. I recommend opting for a pair of black high Chelsea boots, as they are sure to go with everything from florals to knitted fabrics. Plus, they’re comfy and hard-wearing, so it’s win-win. Dress-wise, there’s so much to choose from this season, whether you prefer longer lengths or a knee-grazing hemlines, body-con cuts or loose silhouettes. At the top of our wishlist is Arket’s delectable selection of cashmere roll necks—just embrace the oversized fit and keep accessories paired-back—and Joseph’s nonchalant shirt dresses that can be worn on their own or layered over trousers.
