No matter the occasion or season, there are always plenty of opportunities to wear a dress and, of course, an overwhelming amount of options to choose from. And since there is no bad time of year to invest, we’ve put together an edit of the best dresses you can shop all year round, updated monthly as the year rolls on.
February can feel like a bit of a limbo month, with 29 days (2024 is a leap year!) making it pass by in a flash and unpredictable weather making deciding what to wear tricky. But don’t let the forecast dictate your dress choices.
Styles like Khaite’s wool-blend minidress and Alaïa’s high-neck maxi will keep you warm on chilly days, but you can also layer up pieces that are more spring-appropriate – it’s just around the corner, so you might as well make full use of anything you invest in now. Arket’s cowl-neck slip, Raey’s colour-pop midi and Cecilie Bahnsen’s delicate Vanda dress, made in collaboration with deadstock fabric specialist, Nona Source, are versatile new-season options.
Here, we select the best dresses available this February. Check back every month for a new selection of styles, handpicked by Vogue.
