Rixo started life on the floor of a student house, as founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey set out to build their own fashion brand while they were still completing their degrees. Now, it's not just successful, it's become a global label that's loved by everyone from the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber to Margot Robbie. Its vintage-inspired designs regularly sell out, and they're consistently among the most popular styles for people to borrow on rental platforms. Rixo's dresses are always a smash hit, no matter the season, so it's exciting news that there are big discounts right now for Black Friday.
Not only is there already 20% off almost everything on the website right now, but for a limited time you can get an extra 10% off certain black style, too. That includes coats, knitwear, homewares, skirts, tops and accessories. But the category which most excites me is the dresses, which are also enjoying the 20% off across the board, with the extra 10% applied at checkout for black dresses. I have been a fan of Rixo's dresses for years now, ever since the label was established in 2015. I've worn them for special occasions, but I also have everyday styles which I wear throughout the year, changing my styling according to the weather.
From everyday gingham midis to super-glam satin gowns, there are also dresses in the current for every occasion and style available. There are sequin party frocks, embellished asymmetric styles, printed silk minis and polka dot shirt dresses, too.
Already selling quickly, you won't want to wait around to take advantage of these savings. Whether you're going to a winter wedding in the next few weeks or simply want to invest in a timeless dress you'll wear for every special occasion, now's your chance to upgrade your wardrobe, while saving money.

This is the dress worn by the Princess of Wales in a slightly different pink zebra print. When she chose it for the school run in 2022, it naturally sold out almost immediately. Luckily, the flattering shirt dress is back in this pretty polka dot print, which is also available in white or navy.

If you have any weddings coming up, this dress is your solution to what to wear. It has a really flattering fit and, when paired with gold heels and matching jewellery, makes for a real show-stopper of an outfit.

You might think of cotton gingham as a strictly summer only fabric, but I have this dress and have found it's super-useful in autumn/winter, too – you just need to know how to style it. I've been wearing mine with knee-high boots and a suede trench for weeks now – when it got really cold last week, I added a very fine-knit polo neck underneath, too. You'll find you can wear it during every month of the year.

This dress has been on my wish list for a while and, now that there's 20% off, I think I might finally buy it. I've seen it a lot on Instagram and always think it looks really lovely – it's ideal for spring/summer weddings next year – it is made from pure silk, had a cut-out detail at the back and sold out when it was first introduced into the collection.

This will prove to be the hardest working outfit in your wardrobe. Wear by day with trainers and simply swap your shoes to transform it into an evening look fit for any occasion. It has an elasticated waist for extra comfort but it does fit true to size.

When this dress debuted in pink, it promptly sold out. So, Rixo has brought it back in this pretty blue colour, with a bodice panelled with lace and elasticated sleeves so you can easily push them up when you need to. Cut on the bias, it's ideal for dressed-up events but could just as easily work with ballet pumps on sunny days when you want to feel more put-together.

The ultimate holiday dress, you can roll this up in hand luggage and wear it everywhere – to the beach, at the bar or for day trips somewhere chic. It's comfortable, lightweight and fully lined.

If you're looking for a low-key wedding dress or perhaps a second (or third!) bridal look, this dress is a dreamy option. Made from smooth crepe, the empire waist creates a nipped-in silhouette and the skirt is cut on the bias to be extra flattering. And, of course, the feather trim turns it from something simple into something altogether more exciting.
