The allure of the chuck-on dress

We’re all guilty of defaulting to our failsafe jeans and jumper outfit combinations come autumn but cool-weather dressing needn’t be restrictive — as the latest dress trend proves. Hemlines have elongated, sleeves stretch to the wrist and waistlines are non-existent. Ladies, we bring you the chuck-on dress.

Frocks with slightly oversized silhouettes are cropping up all over the high-street, in a multitude of prints and colour-ways. Incredibly easy to style, simply pair with knee-high boots and an equally slouchy blazer, perhaps layering a roll-neck underneath when the chill sets in for a stylish (not to mention liberating) take on the new season.
