Dresses are the unsung hero of any outfit, effortlessly blending style and comfort to suit any occasion.
Unlike with pieces like skirts or pants, a good dress is a one-and-done, simply throw it on, pair with some fancy footwear and you have a killer outfit with minimal effort or thought.
The importance of a well-rounded and carefully curated dress collection is not to be overestimated. From a timeless LBD to a cosy knit sweater dress, the quintessential cocktail dress or something elegant and elevated for when the time calls for it, each dress holds its own purpose and makes a worthy investment.
The Iconic offers a vast selection of dresses from both local and international brands, making it a go-to destination for fashion lovers. With styles ranging from timeless classics like the LBD to cosy knit sweater dresses and elegant cocktail dresses, they cater to every wardrobe need.
Whether you’re looking for a versatile staple or a statement piece, The Iconic provides endless options to explore. Check out our top dress picks from the site for this season below.

An LBD is perhaps the essential to end all essentials, however, if you’re after something that has the look but can hold its weight come wintertime then we love this longsleeved option from Atmos&Here. The sleeves offer some added coverage, and you can discreetly/expertly layer some thermals and tights underneath when the weather calls for it.
