Spooky season dressing
It doesn’t get much more autumnal than this outfit worn by SF customer Julie. The star and moon dress is always one of our top sellers of the season, thanks to its easy throw-on shape and eye-catching gold details. With its long sleeves, it’s ideal for an autumn evening event or Halloween party, and is available in a mini or maxi length. You can easily style this one with a pair of ankle boots and a biker jacket. “This dress is amazing,” commented Julie. “It was perfect for lunch at The Brassiere of Light in Selfridges.”
September wedding fun
When Jessica sent in this gorgeous snap captioned “autumn wedding fun in SilkFred!”, we knew we had to include it this month’s round-up. This vibrant green-and-blue leopard maxi is great for summer wear too, and is so popular that it comes in multiple colourways. Cut with a high-waist and frill detail, it’s such a flattering shape and will live in your wardrobe from season-to-season. Complete the look with your go-to strappy heels, a cosy cover-up or cropped cardi if it’s cold out – and maybe a sparkler or two.
Red carpet worthy
We mean it when we say that this off-the-shoulder occasion dress is a wearable wow. Joanna wrote in to tell us that she wore this gorgeous look to her husband’s award ceremony, which he won! Made in a stretchy scuba crepe fabric, this piece has a good amount of stretch, but also holds you in all the right places. We love the fold-over neckline on this one, and there’s some flattering ruching across the tummy area too, which is perfect if you’re drinking and dancing all night. Congratulations from all of us at SilkFred!
Dressy but cosy
It wouldn’t be autumn without a jumper dress. We love this striped style in green, ivory and cream, worn by SF customer Amy. This knitted style has a figure-hugging bodycon shape with a subtle side split – simply style pair with chunky boots and throw a teddy coat or trench over the top for an instant autumn outfit. You could easily rework this look for the office or evening drinks with some point-toe heels too.
Autumn-ready prints
How stunning is this pic of Maira wearing the Dove dress in bamboo? A repeat bestseller and all-time customer favourite, this button-through maxi has a flattering belted fit and can be worn to just about any occasion, from Sunday brunch to a wedding. It comes in loads of prints and colourways too, so there’s plenty to choose from. “The slim-fitting sleeves with tie-ends and an attached buckle belt give a soft feminine feel,” commented Maira. “Perfect for autumn, fancy and casual occasions!”
Boot-friendly dresses
We love a dress and boots pairing, such a failsafe duo at this time of year. Maria toughened up this long sleeved tiered maxi dress with a cropped leather jacket to create some contrast, and finished the look with some point-toe boots. The dress has a relaxed throw-on shape that’s seriously comfy, not to mention 100% bloat-friendly. She’s wearing the S/M size option and this particular style comes in other colourways too. “I absolutely love how a biker edges up a beautiful dress, especially when it’s as wonderfully swishy as this lush SilkFred leopard print number. Absolutely divine!” commented Maria.
Party season pending
Next stop, sparkle season. A head-turning moment from Mel in the black sequin wrap-over dress. With a deep-V neckline and comfy stretchable fit that hugs your curves, this style is extra glamorous and the perfect choice for a Christmas party or fancy evening event. A high-waisted fit helps to create a gorgeous hourglass shape, and there’s flattering ruched detail across the tummy area too. Go all-out by adding a chainmail bag or clutch and your spikiest heels.
