Taking a step in a different direction from their signature colorful sun-ready dresses, Tove’s latest frock from the label’s Resort 2024 collection leaves us with a modern monochrome print perfect for right now and transitional wardrobing.

June asymmetric printed maxi dress

Here, Altuzarra’s 2024 version of the dip-dyed dress is a welcomed update to the classic shirt dress silhouette. Just add leather knee-high boots.

Claudia tie-dyed maxi shirt dress

It’s no wonder Ganni’s assortment of easy, breezy midi’s are the kind of silhouettes we return to for day dressing; this one has a lovely square neckline.

While often associated with the warmer months, we’d argue the white poplin dress is just as much an all-year-round wardrobe staple. Layer a long sleeve beneath or blazer over the top now, and wear as is later; just swap for seasonally appropriate footwear.

A soft draped jersey midi in a refreshing seasonal blue shade spotted all over the Spring 2024 runways—sorry LBDs!

Calling party hosters, brides-to-be, or dinner partygoers! Simkhai’s sweeping pleated maxi is a lovely choice for winter or spring soirees, with an understated elegance provided by its drop waist long-sleeve silhouette.

Another Tomorrow’s sleeveless turtleneck midi mixes professionalism and power dressing in one–corporate to cocktails anyone?

Subtle details like contrast stitching and wide cuffs take H&M’s shirt dress from good to great.

Your favorite striped turtleneck, now in dress form.

If you thought shirt dresses were too serious, allow this graphic number from Bite Studios to convince you otherwise. The point collar, slit cuffs, and keyhole cutout take it to a whole other level.

Contrast trim adds visual intrigue to this classic silhouette—a perfect pre-spring dress if we ever did see one.

You might not own the Rothko painting (yet!), but you can own this color-blocked dress. A long pendant and dramatic earrings complete the look.

Is it a coat? A dress? A poncho? It’s all of the above and we absolutely love it.

With plenty of winter-to-spring styling potential, consider this flowy dress from Proenza Schouler an excellent addition to a minimalist wardrobe.

Popcorn-like fabrics that stretch and conform to the body are the perfect base for letting other statement pieces—be it a cropped jacket, bold jewelry, or embellished flats—shine.

Box pleating, reminiscent of vintage Alaïa, gives this cashmere dress plenty of movement without compromising on arguably the most important thing: warmth.

Whether you save it for spring or have a warm-weather getaway planned, you’ll love having this artful floral dress on hand for the occasion.

Mixing femininity with edge, Sea’s wrap dress gets a contemporary finish with croc-embossed faux leather. The adjustable waist tie (and roomy pockets for snacks!) is just a bonus.

Winter velvet, but with an eye for spring. You’ll love the pop of color this Jil Sander dress brings to your vitamin D-deficient wardrobe.

Yet again, Staud delivers with a versatile ribbed-knit dress that can be dressed up or down. Our first outfit idea? Black boots and swaddling faux fur coat.

Only one move is required for a checkmate—and that’s buying the dress.

Straight off the runway, there’s much to love about this dress, from the long slit sleeves to fitted waist and big chunky collar, which can convert into a snood—no doubling up on winter layers needed!

A.W.A.K.E. Mode

Cute but still work-appropriate, Reformation’s collared mini would look great with semi-sheer tights and knee-high boots—in leather or suede, there’s no going wrong!

Bows! Puff sleeves! A ruffled collar! The only thing missing from this picture is you in it. 

Vince’s velvet slip is three of our favorite things: easy to style, soft to the touch, and wearable long beyond the first midnight of the new year. 

Nothing like personal space-commanding sleeves to help you make a beeline for the bar. 

A cheeky wink at sequin dressing. 

Delicate and dreamy, Altuzarra’s Lola dress features a banded waist and all-over polkadot tulle—a choice pick for a night at the ballet.

Torn between separates and a mini? Themis would say a blazer dress strikes the right balance. 

Chelsea long sleeve blazer dress

Sequins can be laid-back, as evidenced by the simplicity of this floor-skimming tank dress.

Heavyweight satin, arched cuffs with the sweetest buttons, and a sharp, low-cut neckline make Khaite’s Tate dress a party circuit must-have.

Few do graphics quite like JJ Martin’s LaDoubleJ.

Can’t wait for part two of The Crown? This brocade floral dress might fill the Windsor Castle-shaped hole in your life (or at least, wardrobe) until the finale premieres on December 14.

Bell sleeves and monochromatic color-blocking get a big yes from us every time.

Not one, not two, but three Vogue editors have this festive dress in their carts right now.
