The Best Desigual Dresses for Autumn and Winter
Looking for a Desigual dress? Three easy picks for colder days: a little black dress on sale, a Christian Lacroix print midi, and a cosy knit midi.
Long Sleeve V-Neck Dress
Every wardrobe needs a little black dress, and this one is a smart choice.
- Simple black, so it goes with everything
- Long sleeves for the colder months
- A slanted hem that looks a bit special
Long-Sleeved Midi Dress by Christian Lacroix
This dress is part of Desigual's collection with the French designer Christian Lacroix.
- A designer dress with a bold printed hem
- Long sleeves and a knit fabric, made for colder months
- Black on top, so it's easy to style
Asymmetric Knit Midi Dress
On a cold, grey day, a knit dress feels like wearing your favourite jumper, but smarter.
- Warm knit with long sleeves
- A matching belt to show off your waist
- A draped, slanted hem that looks stylish
When it gets cold, it's easy to live in jeans and jumpers. But a good dress is just as comfy, and it makes you feel put together in seconds. Add tights and boots, and you're ready for work, a dinner or a party.
Desigual makes dresses that don't look like everyone else's. We've picked three for different moments: a simple black dress on sale, a designer dress that gets people talking, and a warm knit dress for the coldest days. All three have long sleeves, so they're made for this time of year.

What to look for in a winter dress
A good winter dress should be warm, comfortable and easy to style. Here's what to check.
- Sleeves and fabric. Long sleeves and knit fabrics keep you warmer. Thin fabrics need a jumper or cardigan on top.
- Length. Midi dresses are easy to wear with boots in winter. Short dresses look great with tights.
- Fit. Close-fitting knits can show every line, so check the size guide carefully, especially if you're between sizes.
- Stretch. A little stretch makes a dress much more comfortable to sit and move in all day.
- How you'll wear it. Think about where you'll go in it. A plain dress works for the office, while a bold print shines at parties.
- Sales. Check the sale first. Our black dress pick is 30% off right now.

Common questions
Does Desigual run true to size?
Desigual uses European sizing on many items. Check the size guide on each product page, and look at the model's size in the photos, before you order.
Who is Christian Lacroix?
Christian Lacroix is a famous French fashion designer, known for bold colours and prints. He designs special collections for Desigual, marked "M. C. Lacroix" on the website.
How do I style a dress for winter?
Add thick tights, ankle or knee-high boots, and a warm coat. A chunky cardigan or a belt over a knit dress also works well.
How do I wash a knit dress?
Follow the care label. Many knits do best on a gentle or hand-wash cycle, then dried flat so they keep their shape.
