The meteorologists may have predicted snow, but we're fast-forwarding to spring regardless because that's the fashion temperament—future-thinking. That doesn't mean you should slink into crop tops and switch to open-toe shoes just yet. Instead, we've looked to clever dresses that are long-sleeved or can easily be worn with a fine knit layer and topped off with a cosy winter coat for when the thermostat drops. By the time the daffodils have come through, you can drop a layer and simply wear the dress with a cropped biker jacket. Perfecto!
Scroll down to shop new season dresses that can be styled for the final stand of winter and spring.
Style Notes: Make a dress an instant option on a really cold day simply by wearing it over a pair of jeans. Complete with a wool coat.
Style Notes: The turtleneck has been the go-to key piece since early autumn 2015 and shows no signs of falling out of favour with the street style crowd just yet. It's the most flattering and warmest layer for your dresses, so get on it.
Style Notes: Chunky ankle boots will make your dress a practical option for whizzing about the urban jungle. Swap for sandals come summer.
Style Notes: The surefire way to chic up a lace dress? A classic three-quarter length coat. For extra warmth, go for a leather version and add furry accessories.
Style Notes: When the sun finally lands in Blighty, do evoke the true British spirit in the face of even a little heat—get happy, wear colour and linger in sun spots.
