Short Winter Formal Dresses

Let your legs out.

Feel party ready in a mini winter formal dress, with a huge range of designs sure to draw attention. From glitzy diamantes and sequins, to flared skirts and statement fabrics, to sleek, minimal designs, we’ve got you covered. For your formal, style a short formal dress with a blazer to block out the breeze, and strappy platform shoes.

The best thing about a short winter formal dress? The rewearability. Short formal dresses are ideal for bringing the glamour to big occasions, then can easily be styled with more casual pieces like a leather jacket and chunky boots for a more pared-down approach for more low-key events.
