It’s time to pop your collar…

How to style the shirt dress this season:

Switch To Black

One simple way to adopt the look come winter is to don a darker hue. So swap crisp white for black leather this season. Finish with army boots and tights for a tougher look and if the weather gets a little nippy.

Layer It Up

Cue trousers under dresses. Definitely a catwalk trend this season, with Charlotte Knowles showing us who to rock a flare with a mini dress. But if you're not entirely comfortable with a flared trouser, opt for skinny leather pants over a crisps shirt - potential work attire.

Try playful accessories for the evening, like this triangular bag.

There's no limit to layering so drape a waistcoat over your dress for added warmth (and style points).

Make It Full-Length

Come winter, tights are a sartorial saviour. But what happens when you've laddered nearly every pair? The answer, try a floor-skimming shirt dress. We hear you, they're harder to come by, but don't worry, we've done the leg work for you in the gallery below - you're welcome.

Pair a button-up shirt dress with boots and finish with a suede jacket when the cold breeze blows in.

Winter Accessories

For a wintery feel in one fell swoop, accessorise a shirt dress with a statement hat. Opt for knee length boots to successfully bring the classic garment into winter. Drape a corduroy jacket over your shoulders and you have autumnal dressing nailed.
