The winter dresses from Warehouse to buy now – from floaty maxis to party minis

The high-street favourite has you sorted for transitional dressing

The right dress can transform your transitional wardrobe (The Independent)

The evenings are darker, sequins are flooding the shops and coat weather is here. This changing of the seasons goes hand-in-hand with a sartorial refresh – and the right autumn and winter dress can be just what your wardrobe needs to breathe new life into it.

But transitional dressing is no easy feat. As always, high-street favourite Warehouse is brimming with cool-weather-appropriate frocks that have gone straight to the top of our wishlists.

Thanks to the label’s ever-expanding, trend-led, wearable and affordable collections over the past few years, it’s become a firm favourite among influencers, celebrities (Holly Willoughby is a fan) and fashion-heads alike.

The label’s AW22 drop puts longer hemlines and sleeves firmly back on the sartorial agenda, while still making room for transitional minis. From throw-on-and-go floral midis to floaty minis, cosy jumper dresses and statement-making sparkly jacquard maxis, there’s a dress for every occasion.

Whether you’re after a midi for the office, a mini for the evenings or an occasion-wear dress for the looming Christmas party season, these are the autumn and winter dresses we’re lusting after right now.

Warehouse cord frill front tie back midi dress: £71.20, Warehousefashion.com

You can’t go wrong with a black midi dress during the winter months. This take from Warehouse is elevated by its cord textured finish, statement sleeves with cuffs and nipped in waist. Endlessly wearable, we’d style with chunky boots, gold jewellery and an oversized trench for a look that can take you from your desk to dinner.

Warehouse ottoman dress: £63.20, Warehousefashion.com 

(Warehouse)

Embodying the winter months, every wardrobe needs a cosy jumper dress and this Warehouse piece ticks all the boxes. Crafted from knit, the khaki finish will complement most things in your wardrobe. Not quite a mini but still far from being a midi, the in-between hemline is ideal for nippier weather while the high neck and long sleeves provide appropriate coverage.

Warehouse plus size denim western midi dress: £71.20, Warehousefashion.com

Hailing from Warehouse’s plus size collection, we love the western details of this denim mini dress. The flattering dropped waist is teamed with pleated shoulders and a corset-style button down front, before flowing down into an a-line midi hem. Whether you go full cowgirl and pair with western-inspired boots or style with chunky loafers, it’s a great denim alternative to jeans this winter.

We’re seeing zebra print everywhere for AW22, sending Warehouse’s satin maxi straight to the top of our wishlists. With its long sleeves and maxi hem, the silhouette is perfect for when the weather cools, while the added detailing of a keyhole halter neckline nods to the Noughties-revival. Providing ample coverage for the office but fashion-forward enough to take you into the evening, it’s an everyday, all-day staple.
