A few weeks ago I was contacted by the bonprix team, asking me to take part in a fun fashion challenge – to style a Summer look for Autumn/Winter.  Autumn has always been my favourite time of year, and I’m quite partial to layering up my summer dresses to keep me warm on colder days, so I was definitely up for taking part.

I was given a budget of up to £50 to choose items from the bonprix holiday shop, to be used to create a summer look so it’s transitional for Autumn/Winter.

The main item I chose was this tile print skater dress for £39.99, in the black on white colourway.  I don’t often wear white, but I loved the print so much I decided to find out whether I could pull it off!  For Summer I styled it with a pair of black flats, a cute mini box bag, and my Alexander McQueen sunglasses.  Simple, but why add more than you need to when the print speaks for itself?

And having such a bold print, it didn’t take much effort to transition this gorgeous dress into an Autumn/Winter look.  To make the outfit more suitable for the cooler weather I added some super soft tights, and my trusty leather jacket.  I also removed the sunglasses and swapped the flats for a pair of chunky heeled boots, which are far more rain-resistant – very important at this time of year!

The dress is incredibly comfortable as the scuba fabric is stretchy and soft, and the classic fit and flare cut is ideal for day or night, dressed up or down.

How would you style a summer dress for Autumn/Winter?
