Cat Deeley's flattering belted denim dress has got me on the hunt for similar styles – it looks so elegant with heels
These are the similar designs worth shopping
Cat Deeley was spotted wearing a flawless belted denim dress on Wednesday at an event in London to celebrate her becoming the new face of Gold Collagen Forte Liquid. A denim dress is not only a hardworking piece in the warmer months, but Cat proves it's an autumn wardrobe must-have.
The exact dress she wore is by E.L.V. Denim and has a belt trench-style design complemented by a polished dark wash. The fitted waist is accentuated by a neat tie belt, whilst the fuller skirt creates a flattering silhouette. It's such an elegant choice, showing just how versatile a dress like this is, especially when styled for an evening out.
She paired the midi dress with black strappy heels for a refined yet polished finishing touch, as well as chunky gold bracelets, which add a little hint of glamour. It's an autumn outfit idea that's perfect for a date night or evening drinks with friends, plus you could always swap the heels for leather boots when it gets chilly.
This midi-dress features a smart collar, buttons down the front and a gently flared skirt. The long sleeves have buttons on the cuffs that can be undone, so you have the option of rolling up your sleeves too.
With a fitted silhouette that gently flares out at the waist, this denim dress is a figure-flattering style. It has plenty of pockets and comes in both petite and regular sizes.
With a dark denim wash and a trendy funnel neck design, this is the kind of piece that you can wear from AM to PM effortlessly. Style with heeled boots and a trench coat.
Levi's is the place to shop for well-made denim, and their collections aren't exclusive to jeans. This lightweight dress is so versatile. Dress up with slingbacks or wear it every day with your most comfortable trainers.
You'll get plenty of wear out of these peep-toe kitten heels this season and next. The chicest companion to dresses, tailoring and even denim, they'll work with almost anything.
By the British brand well loved by Kate Middleton, this fennel seed-inspired bracelet has a beautiful sculptural appeal that makes it so eyecatching. Take a look at our favourites from the brand's autumn collection here.
While denim dresses can be worn as a smart-casual outfit, the right accessories can dress them up for the evening or fancy get-togethers which makes them a must-have. Open-toe black heels give denim blue a smarter edge, while chunky gold jewellery makes everything feel a little bit more polished. For a daytime outing, I'd swap the heels for black boots, loafers or ballet flats and you could always layer up with a blazer or wool coat as temperatures drop.
The great thing about a good denim dress is that it doesn't need to be saved for one season or occasion; it's extremely versatile. Choose a style with a flattering cut, and you can change the whole feel of your outfit by switching your shoes, jewellery and outerwear.
