Day dresses are essential to any wardrobe and are your go-to on those ‘don’t know what to wear days’. Choosing a day dress instead of separates or denim can instantly elevate your everyday look, taking you from casual to glamorous in a snap.
A constant in the Forever New range, our day dresses offer a feminine look that can easily be styled for casual and elevated outings. The versatile day dress will become a style hero in your wardrobe, and with plenty of lengths, colours and prints to choose from you’ll be able to pick a favourite no matter your personal style.
Our women’s day dresses can often be broken down into types, the first being the casual mini with skater silhouette. This type of day dress is the perfect choice for brunch dates, market trips, picnics, beach adventures and off-duty days spent shopping or pampering yourself. Usually with a flattering full skirt or breezy smock shape, these minis offer comfort and ease. Style them with fresh sneakers or sandals for the weekend and make sure to layer with a denim jacket or light cardigan as the sun sets.
Explore our range of midi dresses online and be pleasantly surprised with our range of cuts and materials. The second type of day dress, our midi length styles are made for all occasion dressing and can even be worn to smart casual events that are held in the daytime. For a trending edge, choose stretch-knit pieces or stick with breezy linen styles with puff sleeves for a laidback yet luxe look.
The third type of day dress is the utility inspired shirt dress. This button-down style has a minimal feel and looks great worn with heels or sneakers. Strike the balance between ‘structured’ and ‘feminine’ with a clean, A-line skirt and more romantic elements like flutter or puff sleeves.
Our day dress range also includes floral summer dresses, and these are perfect for afternoons spent by the water or casual brunch dates. You can easily dress up these styles with low block heels or wedges and pretty, rattan accessories.
If you’re looking for something more elevated and suited to after dark, check out our range of evening dresses. Here, you’ll find the same signature Forever New look but in bolder colours and more glamorous finishes like satin and plisse lame. For a timeless black cocktail dress or a shorter dress suited to after dark, you’ll want to explore our cocktail and party dress collections.
No matter what dress you choose, we have plenty of accessories, footwear, and jewellery to complete your look. Casual smock dresses call for sandals or luxe slides, while party dresses look best with strappy heels. Shirt dresses can be dressed up with pointed toe pumps or knee-high boots.
