Casual Days
Comfort is key on casual days. That’s the best thing about a stretchy comfortable dress, you really don’t need to think twice about it – it’s a done deal. If you opt for a knee length style, just switch out your go-to trainers for chunky lace up boots to take your style from last season to hot right now. Layer with a denim jacket for extra warmth and don’t forget hoops!
We love this trending smock number in the hottest print of the year. Maximum impact with a throw on and go attitude. Our kind of vibe.

Office Style
A midi dress is key to transitional styling. It offers extra coverage and warmth you’ll reach for as the chilly days come into play. The extra length also makes it more office friendly. Here at YC, this is our go-to weekday style when we want ultimate comfort but still want to look fierce. Who doesn’t want to work in style?
If you love a basic dress like we do, this will be at the top of your wishlist! Simple in design detailing with a smock hem in our favourite stretch jersey fabric. All-day comfort – tick!
Add a light wash denim jacket to lift the darker base. Take it from desk to dinner with trainers 9-5 and mules by night.

An excuse to dress up? Say no more! Brunch with the girls is prime time to get glam and put on your best outfit. There’s no better feeling than doing yourself up looking and feeling your best.
This style is the perfect transitional dress. Long sleeves with a tiered smock hem and elasticated below the bust to flatter your curves. Effortlessly feminine and floaty, every girl needs this in their line up. Add pinks to lighten the darker base and accessorise away.
Out-out
If you’ve exhausted the classic jeans and a nice top combo and fancy a switch up, bring a wrap dress to your next night out. Sleeves are a must-have this time of year if you’re braving it without a jacket! Chillier mornings mean even chillier nights – tights are your best friend when it comes to extra coverage.
This butterfly print wrap dress is effortlessly feminine in a style you know and love. Flattering your curves in all the right places with a hint of cleavage, you’ll be sure to make heads turn. Strappy heels and accessorise with jewellery complete your killer look.
2 in 1 style
This is the ultimate buy now wear later style. Who said strappy dresses were only for summer? Still channelling summery prints and styles you’re clinging onto, layering makes it a bit more appropriate for the cooling weather.
Adding a plain tee underneath cami dresses gives you that much needed extra layer. Short sleeves are your go-to for the transition from summer to autumn, and long sleeves keep you cosy on winter days. It gives a whole new vibe whilst getting more wear out of the pieces you already have in your wardrobe!
We love this button through dress as way to get your favourite print into your outfit with a short sleeve basic underneath.

If you haven’t already realised, sleeves are our key tip to transitional styling. If a knee length style is your kinda vibe just opt for a long sleeve. Add tights on colder days with chunky lace up boots. Layer with jewellery to round it all off.
