Summer dressing is fun but Autumn outfits hit differently: boots, cord dresses, and snuggly jumpers... we can almost smell the pumpkin spice!
And just because it'll soon be time to pack away the lighter layers, that doesn't mean we can't still be looking like 10s, and this chilly season is shaping up to be the most stylish yet.
Next has really upped its game in recent years, with fashion fans singing the high street brand's praises for affordable pieces that'll last well into the next season.
It might only be August, but that hasn't stopped Brown Thomas launching the Christmas shop or Next dropping the first of its A/W designs, and we're swooning.
The first dress that caught our eye on the Next website is a very reasonably priced mini, which proves florals definitely aren't just for Spring.
The Black & Red Floral Print Mini Tie Front Tiered Long Sleeve Dress is priced at €38 and has long sleeves and a sweet ruffle on the skirt to match the neckline.
While the colder climes might put many people off mini dresses, they're still a great option to reach for in your wardrobe when styled with tights or boots.
We love the Burgundy Red/White Floral Mini Cord Long Sleeve Dress that's new in at Next and priced at €61.50.
This dress has a V-neckline and button-down front that creates a flattering and feminine A-line silhouette, while the white floral pattern adds a delicate touch.
Looking for a showstopper dress or even something to wear on Christmas Day? Then you can't go wrong with tartan!
Next's Khaki Green Check Balloon Sleeve Seersucker Midi Dress has a flattering elasticated waist and elegant velvet bow-front detailing that ties (pun intended!) the look together beautifully.
The dress has serious designer vibes and could easily be mistaken for a Damson Madder or even Hill House Home design but has a very pocket-friendly price tag.
On sale for €67, we can see this tartan dress becoming our go-to once all those festive drinks start being pencilled into our diaries. Bring on cosy season!
