By Nicola Maddox

We’ve rounded up the best dresses that echo both the sun-flamed gold of late summer and the rainbow skies of autumn that will take you from day to night.

With the summer months flying by and the impending foliage change from fresh green to burnt orange (signalling autumn), finding suitable dresses can be rather puzzling. We’ve rounded up the best dresses that echo both the sun-flamed gold of late summer and the rainbow skies of autumn that can take you from day to night. These dresses are the chameleons of the fashion world adapting to all seasons – layer them over cosy polos during the cold winter months or simply wear as-is for a go-to outfit when we reach that Indian summer.
