With winter around the corner it’s time to put those short sleeves, short shorts and brighter colours away and delve into the blues, browns and purples.
So lets talk navy! Nearly as dark as black, equally as flattering and somewhat a bit more exciting as it matches all skin tones. Vogue has named navy one of the top trends this autumn/winter season as it is easy to wear and can be dressed up or down! We’ve decided to show you our favourite navy pieces to inspire you this winter season.
Eva Longoria and Beyonce are both fans of this navy trend, both ladies dressing their outfits with their hair pulled back and matching classic navy heels. Â Beyonce’s bodycon dress emphasises her curves beautifully and Eva’s tuxedo style two piece is perfect for this season.
So, as much as we love neons and brights, we are ready to embrace the navy…not as ready to embrace the cold though!
 1. This Nicole Miller Kate lace Dress  is perfect for a formal occasion and is extremely flattering not only due to the arm length but the subtle cleavage which is covered in lace! To see how the body con number fits on the model click here.
2. The multi layered nature of the Alice and Olivia dress gives the appearance of a skirt and top, but in fact we all know it is a dress! The use of two tones of the navy colour add dimension and texture to the dress.

3. This gorgeous GMD maxi is perfect for a formal, ball type occasion and would look beautiful with a fur shrug as the nights get colder! Check out the over 10 ways that you can style this wrap around dress and be inspired!
4. Tuxedo style are very much in this season ( as shown by Eva Longoria!) and this Phillip Lim tux dress is a prime example of this! Although it may be seen as a rather masculine look, the tux dress is very sexy and the navy adds to this!
5. The cut away detail and metallic shoulder Marc by Marc Jacobs dress is a rather adventorous dress but due to the simplicity of the colour and length it just works! Team with a pair of flats for the day or spice up the edgy look with a pair of killer heels! Check out the link to see the metallic and detailed shoulder.Â
Although its hard to pick, the GMD team’s favourite is the Phillip Lim Tux Dress – so  we’ll be fighting you for it this weekend!! We’re teaming ours with a pair of killer nude courts – let us know your style plans.
So enjoy the trend and embrace the navy!

The second most exciting date of the royal calender year has been announced today and it’s got the GMD office all of a flutter trying to predict what our favourite princess Kate Middleton will be wearing. We are of course talking about the Christening of Prince George which it has been announced is set to take place on the 23rd October!
As keen followers of Miss Middleton’s designer dress habits we at GMD have been theorising on what we would recommend to her should she decide to pop in for a date with one of our stylists (we can dream). Never one to upset the rules Kate will inevitably stick to something in a longer length and with a modest neckline so she can look chic and sophisticated in church. Kate will almost certainly be looking at dresses with sleeves so she can stay fashionable, modest and practical in these colder October months.
Last time Kate stepped into church it was for her marriage to Prince William and her stunning designer wedding dress certainly turned heads with it’s simple yet striking design. This Alice and Olivia dress may appear plain but the two tones are perfect autumnal colour blocking and the subtle waisted area with gold detailing will show of Kate’s post pregnancy figure beautifully. Dresses with sleeves can leave the wearer feeling somewhat confined but the a-line shape of this dresses skirt will give Kate room to move – something she’ll need when George hit’s his toddling years!
Modest dresses with sleeves don’t have to be boring and when their simple shape is countered by the use of stunning materials such as in this lace Anna Sui dress you know you’re on to a winner. Dresses with sleeves can leave the upper body looking a bit larger than usual (not something Kate will ever have to worry about!) but the slight V-neck and wrap waist of this dress break it up perfectly for a flattering yet respectable style.
Further proof that modest does not meaning boring this stunning Carven dress comes in a bold shade of red and with a subtle waist dealing to offer a little bit of oomph to a generally quite modest style. Dresses with sleeves are the height of sophistication and this carven dress proves that you can do sexy and sophisticated. Perhaps not the ideal dress for a christening but definitely a designer dress for date night!
It may be October and officially time to wave goodbye to summer but that doesn’t mean you can’t work a floral dress for the colder months. The key is in the colour palette and this Erdem dress is a great example of a classic winter floral. The deep pinks, purples and blue are autumnal but still bright and cheerful making this one of our favourites from our entire collection of dresses with sleeves.
