I Swear This High-Street Brand Is Serving Up the Best Dresses This Autumn
I'm going to make a confession. I used to be something of a Topshop devotee, but since it made the leap from brick-and-mortar retail to the ASOS website, I've been unintentionally overlooking it. I knew it was still there and going strong—most of the pieces I gravitated towards in ASOS's hefty new-arrivals section wind up being from Topshop—but I've really let checking the latest additions specifically from Topshop slide. So when my colleague mentioned how good Topshop's summer collection was, I had to see for myself. My first observation? Its dresses.
This silhouette is incredible.
I'm a dress person, but I found myself going out of control with the number of Topshop dresses I was adding to my saved items. With over 1100 dresses currently on site, there were guaranteed to be a few that were going to catch my eye. But because no one's wardrobe is big enough for the whole lot, I've done the hard work for you and picked the hero styles you may want to consider adding to your closet.
So what are the trends that Topshop is backing this season? From cosy knits and floor-sweeping hems to long-sleeve numbers and sassy silhouettes, there's something for everyone. I've got my eyes on the dresses that are versatile enough to carry right through to spring, so many of the below styles will look just as good with knee-high boots as they do with sandals. It's all about that cost per wear.
You can never go wrong with a black midi dress.
