It's true: autumn is here and winter is well and truly on its way in. And as the chillier season makes its presence known, we can very clearly start to see the styles lauded on the catwalk back at Fashion Month permeate the ready-to-wear market. In the past few years, skirts have been shining bright (in colourways too) and unlike very specific styles of the past (I'm looking at you micro mini), many skirt styles are being championed for the coming months—from risqué peek-a-boo iterations to free-flowing maxis.

I've re-observed the skirt trends we first witnessed on runways in London, Milan, New York and Paris and four particular styles feel the most prominent and compelling. That is, transparent skirts with a '90s lilt, bright white, skirts incorporating tassel elements and of course, leather—a failproof winter hero. It's jumper season and if you're feeling uninspired why not enlist one of these bold styles to elevate your knitwear? Keep reading to discover five skirt trends for autumn 2024 that you'll be seeing land on your favourite e-commerce sites shortly (if not already). There's something for everyone—from the minimalist to the party-goer.

The Biggest Skirt Trends for Winter 2024, According to an Editor:

1. Pleated Skirts

Style Notes: Pleated skirts continue to be a wardrobe essential, balancing timeless elegance with modern versatility. Try experimenting with a patterned pleated skirts, keeping the rest of the look minimal to let the skirt stand out. Or perhaps a classic look is what you're after, in which case combine with a leather jacket and some trainers.

2. Knitted Skirts

Style Notes: Dina is band on trend here with a maxi knit skirt. In the coming seasons, all forms of knitted skirts will be celebrated—from minis to maxi lengths.

3. Leather Skirts

Style Notes: You may say that the leather skirt has been resurrected, but the truth is, it never left. Instead, leather skirting coasts on the sidelines waiting for its prime time, come winter. It's the seasonal and trend-led piece that comes back each autumn-winter season, making it the perfect investment piece.

4. Poplin Skirts

Style Notes: Poplin skirts are the ultimate blend of comfort and polish. For a casual yet chic look, pair a high-waisted white poplin skirt with a cardigan and knee-high boots. Or for a more office-ready ensemble, try a black iteration with a crisp button-up, a wool blazer and block heels.

5. Lace Skirts

Style Notes: We saw the revival of see-through styles back in 2022 from the likes of Schiaparelli, Khaite and Rejina Pyo and this style has continued to prove its longevity. It's the fashion hero that celebrates the form. What a better and more empowering way to step into 2024. Here, Abi demonstrates a way you can style the trend for the evening.

It’s the scalloped ruffle billowing out from underneath a satin ochre mini, panelled floral gown cascading down to your ankle or the flouncy button-up cropped shirt adorned with psychedelic interpretations of vintage Australian surf posters. Whatever your reference point is, these are the motifs that make one of fashion’s most in-demand designers what it’s revered for. I’m of course talking about Zimmermann dresses.

Style Notes: Content creator Amy Julliette Lefévre wears a Zimmermann dress from Zimmermann's autumn/winter 2023 collection.

Growing up in Sydney, the brand’s hometown, I remember so vividly the feeling of envy, admiration and aspiration walking past its Bondi Junction boutique as a teenager. I’d peer into the window, marvelling at the billowing fabric that seemed to defy gravity that adorned the mannequins. The glamorous women I’d see behind the glass were exotic to me, an apparent culmination of having ‘made it’ in some way to have the means to shop there.

As I got older, one of my first major jobs in my career brought me closer to the brand, as the PR firm I worked for boasted Zimmermann as a founding client. From that moment, my relationship with the brand changed. These beautiful gowns are more than just pretty things to admire and feel good in, but are representative of two women’s drive, grit and determination for bringing a touch of escapism.

What Is the History of Zimmermann?

Zimmermann’s brand story began in 1991 when sisters Nicky and Simone founded the namesake label. In the years prior to the inception, Nicky had followed in the footsteps of their mother, Joan, and began handmaking garments in the family’s garage in between her tertiary studies at East Sydney Technical College in the inner-city suburb of Darlinghurst.

On the weekends, Zimmermann would take the garments to a local market in the leafy neighbourhood of Paddington, a stone’s throw from the school, to, as the tale is told, “afford to buy more fabric and maybe go out on a Saturday.” (As per Zimmermann’s interview with Harper’s Bazaar. Interest grew naturally, and within a short time, Zimmermann had its first wholesale order after a spread appeared in the local edition of Vogue, courtesy of a styling assistant friend who just happened to pique the interest of the fashion director when wearing a piece into work one day.

A flagship store followed after and by 2003, they had opened that outpost that would define how I perceived modern Australian luxury. The brand staged its first fashion show in 1996 in Sydney, a harbourside location it would continue to show collections at before making the jump to New York and cementing itself on the international stage in 2014. Zimmermann had longstanding roots in the United States after opening a boutique on Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles in 2011 before following that up with a second offering in SoHo, New York in 2012. A decade later, in 2022, Zimmermann traded the cobblestone streets of Manhattan for the Haussmannian architecture of Paris, where they’ve remained a firm fixture and favourite on the Paris Fashion Week schedule ever since.

Of course, it’s not just in America that its sense for playful romantic and unapologetic coastal-meets-city outlook resonates. In the early 2010s, Zimmermann put its stamp on the UK and Europe by unveiling spaces in Mayfair and Saint Tropez, respectively. Its global domination is clear—regardless of the location, women will always gravitate towards the brand's bohemian delicacy and breezy opulence. It’s these traits that have made Zimmermann a mainstay come summer, with the label’s resort pieces cropping up across balmy rooftops in Greenwich Village, beach clubs in Capri and the seaside restaurants in East Hampton. (Beyoncé is known to have shopped here in the past.)

Style Notes: Kendall Jenner wearing a Zimmermann dress in Soho, 2017.

What Is Zimmermann Known for?

Zimmermann is best known for its swimwear and dresses. Yet, it’s the latter that has proven to be the brand’s most recognisable silhouette. No two pieces are the same from Zimmermann, but each design is enriched through flouncy silk fabrics that evoke the movement of jellyfish, punchy botanicals often derived from collaboration with significant artists, soft pastel languid landscapes that demand to transport you and vintage elements that hark back to Australiana of yore. (A music program broadcasted in the '70s called Countdown, yacht clubs of the '50s and the pouffy, hairspray-fragranced high school days of the ‘80s when Molly Ringwald and the Brat Pack reigned supreme.)

Style Notes: Influencer Izi Angus wearing a dress from Zimmermann's Spring/Summer 2025 collection.

Why Are Zimmermann Dresses So Popular?

Zimmermann dresses have become a go-to for event dressing thanks to their head-turning, statement-making shapes and memorable prints. More so, they’ve garnered the endorsement and attention of trendsetters the world over, from Emma Roberts to Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Most recently, Taylor Swift wore a Zimmermann dress when she attended the 2023 wedding of model and musician Karen Elson.

On the front rows, Zimmermann also draws a crowd, too, with the likes of Katie Holmes a regular mainstay.

Are Zimmermann Dresses Worth the Price?

Zimmermann dresses begin upwards of £500 and can often extend far into the £2500 price range. As a luxury brand, this price is reflective of other more established and heritage brands and the quality of its pieces. Of course, you mustn't forget the technicality of each design, with Zimmermann dresses sporting intricate details like knotting made of silk organza, undulating panels that hold shape, layers of fine lace and laser-cut frills. In saying that, these are pieces that you’ll cherish forever and will last a lifetime.

Style Notes: Chrissy Ford wears Zimmermann's Tropicana dress in Miami, 2022.

You may think, because of how striking the styles are, that you won’t be able to wear them again—a rhetoric I personally find quite outdated and reductive—but the beauty of these designs is that they’re as suitable for occasionwear as they are a gorgeous meal out. Ahead, I’ve hand-picked my favourite Zimmermann dresses from their current range. To see and shop what a Who What Wear fashion editor has on their wish list, keep scrolling ahead.

If there's one fashion conundrum that creeps up every summer, it's wedding-guest attire. It wouldn't surprise me if "what to wear to a wedding" is amongst the most (frantically) Googled phrases at the moment. So if you're feeling overwhelmed, know that you aren't alone. If you're fortunate enough to be granted a liberal dress code at a wedding, floral dresses will always meet you somewhere between smart-casual and glamorous. A floral dress, heels and a small bag is a formula that works time and time again.

You can't escape the association between floral dresses and weddings. In every wedding photo lies a host of floral-clad women, and it's no surprise that floral prints dominate wedding-guest attire. In fact, blossom prints have become so linked with wedding-guest attire that you'd be forgiven for thinking their origin was exclusive to weddings. Between flower girls, bouquets, venue styles and hair accessories, flowers are everywhere you turn.

Investing in a floral dress has many benefits. It's evident that this pattern does not age, and you'll extend the wear out of this piece for summer days and special events alike. A causal, floral-print dress can be worn on a day date, at picnics, when frequenting your favourite eateries or on a casual stroll with canvas trainers.

And there are so many styles to choose from. You may think of Zimmerman's ornate dresses, which are suitable for country and church weddings. But slip dresses, tea dresses and wrap-around styles come into their own as well. With all of my wardrobe investments, I prefer to pick pieces I can wear frequently on summer days, so cotton styles with bold sleeves call my name. If you need a helping hand, fear not—I have 32 floral dresses you can wear to weddings and beyond. Keep scrolling for some truly wonderful styles.

Next Up: 7 Wedding Guest Outfit Trends for 2022

Okay, we admit it: Every time we see new pictures of Jennifer Lopez out and about, the whole Who What Wear UK team gets a little excited. What outfit is she wearing? What beauty look has she gone for? And more importantly how does that new rock on her finger look? Of course, if she’s packing on the PDA with Ben Affleck it causes even more of an outpouring on our Slack channels. We just can’t help rooting for (and having a massive girl crush on) the ageless celeb and everything she does right now.

So when these images arrived in our inbox of the queen herself wearing not one but two perfect summer dresses recently from one of our all-time favourite warm-weather brands— Zimmermann— you can imagine the excitement in the WWWUK office. We knew J.Lo was a fan of the Aussie brand as she’s previously stepped out in their designs a few times, but these two styles might be our favourite looks yet. One was a chic white-and-floral linen number the star donned for Easter weekend (beats our tracksuits) and one was a floaty printed style she wore while out shopping with her daughter. 

Zimmermann has been a long-time go-to of all of ours for show-stopping yet versatile investment dresses you can pull out year after year. They’re perfect for wedding-guest dressing or just for those occasions you want to feel a bit fabulous. Of course, Jennifer went down this route pairing her dresses with sky-high platform heels and her signature bling— this is J.Lo after all. But we love them just as much with a simple pair of leather slides and a basket bag, for casual weekends and beach holidays to really get that cost per wear out of them. 

Keep scrolling to see J.Lo’s dresses in action. Unfortunately, the exact two she’s wearing are currently sold out, but I’ve added links to sign up for restock alerts as well some similar beautiful Zimmermann styles the star would approve of. Especially if, like us, you’ve been searching for that perfect summer dress recently…

You all know we’re suckers for a pretty dress here at Who What Wear. If there’s any excuse to don our favourite style and flounce about, we’re very much there for it. Even for us fashion editors, it’s so easy to get stuck in a jeans-and-knit or -blazer rut, especially here in the UK where the weather can be summer one morning and rainy by the afternoon. But once you take a leap and pull out a dress from your wardrobe again, you realise just how easy they are to wear, let alone how good they make you feel. In these times when we’re all in need of a little mood booster and a leg-up out of our tracksuits, there’s really nothing like picking an extra dress for your daily outfit. 

Dresses are consistently our most-clicked on articles and products, so we know just how much you love them too. It’s one of the things we get asked for most often. Where can I buy a great floral midi dress, the perfect throw-on style, or the best investment piece to suit every occasion and wear again and again? Maybe it’s what dresses go with boots or which designers are our under-the-radar go-to’s. One brand that always creates beautiful dresses? Zimmermann. 

The Aussie brand is known for its jaw-droppingly beautiful creations and over the years has become a go-to choice for celebrities and fashion insiders alike. Some of them may be investment pieces to enjoy for years to come, but one thing’s for sure: Nicky Zimmermann’s designs have a timeless feel. They work just as well with lace-up flats for the weekend as they do with heels for a summer event. Hey, they also work really well to sit on your sofa and feel like a million dollars in. 

So below is an ode to the beautiful dress. Below, you’ll find 26 of the prettiest styles from the brand’s spring collection that we’d have in our wardrobes any day. Keep scrolling to shop.

Since relocating from London to Sydney at the start of the year, I’ve been constantly surprised by the reaction of stylish Brits, mouth agape and eyes full of shock, when I tell them the piece they’ve stopped to ask me about is actually an Australian fashion brand. “That’s Australian?” is typically their response when I mention the St. Agni woven leather bag or DISSH dress, just to list a few, I’m wearing hail from down under.

I find this lack of insight, specifically a recognition that these established brands originated on Australia’s sandy shores, a testament to how our local talent transcends our somewhat isolated location to become global institutions in their own right. Australian designers have garnered such a cult following here in the United Kingdom because they’re creating pieces that the market has never experienced.

Style Notes: Who What Wear's Ava Gilchrist wears DISSH's Milano dress, an Australian fashion brand to know that was founded by a mother-daughter duo in the sunshine state of Queensland.

There is a sort of grittiness and dark romanticism that underscores designers who originate from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales because of the culture and history embedded here. In Australia, our overall lifestyle is quite nonchalant and relaxed, which seeps through to what we wear. Silhouettes are understated, sophisticated and never overtly complicated, which is a complete antithesis to the artistic or intellectual designs of leading British designers like Simone Rocha, Sinéad O'Dwyer, 16Arlington or Chopova Lowena.

The Australian fashion brands to know promote an unfussy attitude. These are clothes that can speak for themselves and don’t rely on heavy styling to make an impact. Shapes are breezy, fabrics are light, and the energy is high octane. These principles underscore the brands that cross over, making them a worthy wardrobe addition against the structured tailoring, fitted cuts and functional fabrics you’ll see throughout the city.

Style Notes: Taffy Msipa also wears a dress from the brand; the Gabby midi dress.

Now, thanks to the on-the-pulse buying teams from iconic department stores like Harrods and Selfridges and these Australian brands’ continued international expansion, these languid and dreamy designs are available to shop directly on home soil. (Saving you the hundreds of dollars you’d typically spend on shipping costs and customs fees to import these designs.)

To help you in your shopping endeavours, I’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to the top Australian designers to know. Ahead, you’ll of course find household names like the sister-founded resortwear brand Zimmermann and Sydney’s king of skin, Christopher Esber. But you’ll also discover locals-only labels that have begun making a splash or emerging players you mightn’t have realised are Australian, like Posse or Faithfull the Brand. Effortless elegance, incoming…

Style Notes: Hailey Bieber wears a fine-knit top from beloved Byron Bay-based label, St Agni, while in New York.

1. St. Agni

Style Notes: Founded in 2014 among the blissful waters of New South Wales' Northern Rivers district, St. Agni has transcended its beachy alcove to become one of the most revered and formidable patrons of contemporary luxury. Co-founders and designers, Matt and Lara Fells, have remained unwavering in their commitment to a minimalist aesthetic. However, as the brand has grown, this ethos has evolved from coastal staples like slouchy linen trousers to city-ready styles like slick tailored pants, refined knit tank tops and sharp basics.

2. SIR.

Style Notes: SIR originally began under a very simple premise—creating timeless sets, intimates and ready-to-wear. (Hence the name). The brand began in 2014 amid the nascent wave of social media, making it one of the first-ever viral exports to originate in Australia. The lens of the brand is both masculine and feminine, where structured blazers, floor-length linen dresses and a best-selling cut-out silk dress mingle without difficulty. Vintage prints, like baroque florals, and archival-inspired silhouettes, including the '70s wrap dresses or '80s velvet minis and '90s halter necks, set this brand apart, too.

3. Matteau

Style Notes: Matteau is living proof that sustainability should never compromise on style. Born in Noosa, a luxury beach town on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Matteau makes clothing that is designed to last and not dictated by trends. Using ethically sourced fibres and the industry know-how of the brand's fashion stylist and consultant co-founder, Ilona Hamer (who shares the brand with her sister Peta Heinsen), Matteau personifies the concept of a tropical paradise with broderie anglaise throw-ons, ruched bandeau midi dresses and floaty minis with shirred bodices.

4. Christopher Esber

Style Notes: In the 15 years since Christopher Esber began his eponymously titled womenswear brand, the label has consistently been at the forefront of the sartorial landscape at a pace that makes him on par with some of the biggest luxury houses in the world. Always sensual and fluid, his pieces pioneer and set trends, as is the case with his stone studding, pierced orbit flourishes, wired cut outs, open twist tops and lace trims.

5. Zimmermann

Style Notes: As one of Australia's biggest success stories, it should come as no surprise that Zimmermann arrived on the scene with humble origins. A then-fashion design student studying at one of the top inner-city colleges, Nicky Zimmermann first introduced the brand in the early 90s at Paddington Markets after the clothes she was making during lessons and in her family's garage piqued the interest of her social circle. Fast forward nearly 30 years, the brand has become entrenched in the glamorous wardrobes of the well-travelled jet set. From the beaches of Capri to the heart of Mayfair, where there's an opulent holiday destination, there's a Zimmermann dress to be found.

6. DISSH

Style Notes: DISSH is the name on everybody's lips at the moment, and for good reason. A true compliment earner, the brand prioritises simplicity and elegance with clean lines, thoughtful details and a bright colour palette that rarely deviates from chic neutrals. Suitable for tavernas, sophisticated alfresco luncheons at seafood restaurants and romantic date nights at candle-lit restaurants, DISSH makes everyday dressing an occasion.

Shop the Brand:

7. Faithfull The Brand

Style Notes: Faithfull The Brand is wanderlust in a label. Each collection is inspired by the sights and sounds of a location bearing cultural significance, with the colours of the place's architecture and pieces adorned by their locals distilled and recontextualised under Faithfull's own starry-eyed lens. For designs that make you feel like you're on holiday, invest in the brand's viral Hedy dress, a strapless design inspired by the Greek island of Hydra, stripped polo, which draws influence from the Scandinavian sky in high summer, or linen tops that rival the outfits of St. Tropez locals in the late 50s and early 60s.

Shop the Brand:

8. Posse

Style Notes: A charming softness underscores the designs of Posse, an Australian fashion brand founded in 2016 by Danielle Mulham. Fusing darling leisurewear with quaint one-and-done dresses, Posse's designs are nostalgic but still current, like butter yellow puff-sleeved blouses, gingham shorts, polka-dot tops and striped strapless dresses, like the ones worn by Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and Katie Holmes.

9. Rèalisation Par

Style Notes: There's not an It girl in operation today who doesn't own a Rèalisation Par dress. Originating in Sydney but with a strong presence in both London and Los Angeles, the brand is revered for its flirty cuts, head-turning prints, sumptuous silk fabrics and low-maintenance styling. For days that turn into nights and the woman who isn't ever far from the dance floor, this brand will have a piece for you.

Summer is fabulous and all, but one of the downsides is that the hottest season is filled with the most events. How's a girl supposed to stay cool, comfortable, and cute while sweating buckets under the harsh rays of the sun?! 

Well, there are ways. And we consulted our resident stylist, Banana Republic's Marissa Webb, to share them with us. Below, Webb selflessly provides her top five tips for staying cool while looking hot for all your dressy events this season.

Keep scrolling for Marissa Webb's genius tips on dressing up while staying cool this summer!

I personally love comfortable airy dresses for hot summer days. I usually go for a woven dress over a knit dress, especually when I'm going for a more dressed-up look.

I love a great short suit as a modern update to the pantsuit for summer!

Printed lightweight pants or skirts paired with a crisp top can give just the right amount of ease (with polish!) for a dressed-up look that’s still comfortable during the summer heat. Try a maxi-length skirt or lightweight trouser paired with a comfortable top; the length can help to make it feel dressier and more elegant.

Accessories are a great way to add polish to a comfortable summer outfit. Grab a pair of heels in place of flats to pair with your lightweight summer dress, or add a statement necklace to your easy T-shirt or blouse. Keep the outfit casual, but layer up the jewellery, and don’t forget the toes and the lipstick! Often times it's the little details that have the most impact. A simple outfit can be instantly dressed up with a bold lip and polish.

In place of a third piece like a blazer or cardigan, try a larger scarf that you can toss over your shoulders.

As editors at a digital fashion magazine, trust us: We know from being busy, overwhelmed, and under deadline. The breakneck pace of life (both online and off) is enough to leave our heads spinning. And yet somehow we're all supposed to step out every day looking polished and chic? It's a challenge even for the best of us.

Perhaps no one understands this better than our resident stylist Marissa Webb. She let us pick her brain about the styling tricks she uses to help her keep it together, despite a frenetic schedule.

Keep scrolling to see Marissa Webb's five styling tricks all busy women need in their lives! 

Accessories play a big role on the days you're really on the run. I make sure I have my necklaces, bracelets, and the right bag. It adds that extra touch to an otherwise basic outfit.

A great blazer helps polish off almost any look. I often toss on my tuxedo blazer over a simple T-shirt-and-jeans look. 

Every woman should have fashionable flats ready for those days when heels just aren't going to happen.

Many of us don't have the luxury of styling a great look every day. So have your go-to items—such as your favourite pants, tops, and shoes for the season—always ready. Then invest in a few key pieces that you can mix and match in to achieve multiple looks.

Also, have a loose formula for the season. I think we all want to be flexible and experimental, but when time doesn't allow, know what's working for you. For example, my go-to formula right now is skinny on the bottom and loose on the top. Yours might be something slim on the top and easy on the bottom. Whatever it is, you'll know the items to grab and that, for the most part, the proportions will work.

One of my quick tricks for days I don't have time to fuss with my outfit is going with a monochromatic look. Even though it doesn't take much thought, it gives off the opposite impression. If you don't have every item matching, try matching your blouse to your blazer or your pumps to your pants.

Oh Solange, goddess of all things sartorial. One of our favourite style stars attended the Veuve-Clicquot Carnaval in Miami this week, and for the warm-weather affair, she appropriately swathed herself in a gorgeous strapless sheer dress, sandals, and beach-ready makeup and hair.

While Solange's dress, from Ellery's S/S 15 collection, is not currently available to shop, we took the opportunity to find some similarly awesome sheer dresses inspired by the look. This girl has proven again and again that when it comes to fashion, there's nothing she can't do.

With wedding season beyond being in full swing, you’ve probably been invited to your fair share of casual, outdoor ceremonies. While normally you would reach for something more formal for the occasion, these events call for looks that are a little more laid-back. But how do you make sure you keep it cool while not overdoing your outfit?

Celebrity stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott provide their valuable advice, below!

This is a look that’s playful, but can be great for a wedding. Go for silky fabrications that drape, and pair it with a dressier shoe and nice accessories. 

Everything feels more casual with flats, so don’t be afraid to pull out a more dramatic dress, then dress the look down with simple accessories that are more daytime-appropriate. A nice, flat strappy sandal and your everyday layers of simple necklaces and dainty earrings is perfect.

Pair a structured skirt with a cute top. Try a high-waisted flare skirt or sharp pencil, and tuck in a little tank or cap-sleeve top.

Style a relaxed trouser in a lightweight, dressy fabric with an easy camisole. Wear the look with a little feminine heel and a dressy clutch.

Summer season may have only just started, but the sales are already in full swing. And as smart shoppers, today we’re here to remind you to pay attention to un-paired bikini separates. Mixing and matching different sets can result in a totally personalised, super cool, and budget-friendly look. Keep reading to see what we mean…
