Let’s be real— dresses are having a major moment, and they’re not going anywhere. From effortless everyday options to bold statement-makers, a good dress will take you just about anywhere. They’re the ultimate one-and-done outfit: comfy, easy to style, and always on point. Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe or just want a few standout pieces to rotate, investing in a great dress is a smart fashion move.
This season, we’re seeing some strong dress trends that strike the perfect balance between trendy and timeless. Here are five of my current faves—and the dresses I’ve chosen to show them off:
Deep Burgundy
This rich, moody hue is winters answer to bright summer tones—and it works year-round.
A burgundy dress adds instant sophistication and warmth to your wardrobe. It’s bold without being loud, and it looks amazing on every skin tone.
This Flouncy Short Kaftan Dress, R699 SHOP has a vintage-inspired feel thanks to the high neck, ruffle details and kaftan style.
Knit Happens
Soft, stretchy, and seriously chic—knit dresses are your cozy style solution.
Perfect for layering or wearing on their own, knit dresses hug in all the right places while keeping things comfy. Bonus points for ribbed textures, graphic prints and earthy tones.
I adore the abstract jacquard pattern on this Knit dress, R799 SHOP that has a midi length, side slits and ribbed cuffs.
Athleisure Edge
Sporty meets stylish in dresses that feel like loungewear but look like streetwear gold.
This trend is made for movement and attitude. Just add your fave sneakers and you’re good to go.
This sweater dress in grey cotton, R699 SHOP caught my eye immediately. The oversized fit screams “comfort” and I love the subtle styling elements like the dropped shoulder, side pockets and ribbed hem detail.
Denim Daze
Classic, cool, and endlessly versatile—denim dresses are the ultimate throwback with a modern twist.
From shirt dresses to structured silhouettes, denim is always in fashion, no matter the season. Pair with chunky boots or sneakers for a laid-back look or dress it up with a statement belt.
The FF Denim Waist Tie Button Through Dress, R899 SHOP is a statement piece. It’s longer length gives it a sophisticated edge and I like that you can style it up or down with accessories.
Masculine Energy
Tailored lines, boxy fits, and suiting-inspired styles are giving dresses a borrowed-from-the-boys edge.
Think sharp shoulders, clean lines, and utility details. This trend is all about power and polish—with just the right amount of attitude.
Get ready to slay all day in this blazer dress, R479,99 SHOP that perfectly encapsulates this trend.
This winter, let your dress do the talking—because elegance never goes out of season.
