Preparing for Autumn: The Benefits of Long Sleeve Silk Dresses
Although silk is the perfect material for keeping cool in the summer months, it also has great heat-retaining properties that make silk dresses the optimal choice in winter too. Silk dresses are incredibly versatile and stylish, making them the ideal choice all year round. Our silk dresses at Jasper Conran London are thoughtfully-designed to be layered up in cooler months, by adding chic roll necks underneath and opaque tights to provide extra warmth and still look elegant.
Long sleeve silk dresses can ensure you look your best at both casual and formal occasions, combining practicality with style to provide you with a look you can rely on come rain or shine. This season’s neutral hues are a must when choosing your next silk dress; black, champagne or muted reds are just a few colours that would fit perfectly into a winter wardrobe, with the flexibility to complement your style all year round.
As well as silk, autumn calls for thicker materials as we break out our big coats, scarves and boots. At Jasper Conran London, our autumn and winter 2024 collection contains a curated edit that introduces the new textures for autumn, with coats, trousers and winter hats ideal for trips to the office and winter drinks with friends.

Choosing Between a Silk Dress and a Satin Dress
When selecting an elegantly chic dress for a special occasion or a stylish casual option for less formal ventures, silk and satin can be seen as more compelling choices. Both materials offer a luxurious appearance, but understanding their differences can help you make the most informed choice.
Silk is a natural fibre, prized for its softness, durability, and sheen. Silk dresses offer breathability, draping effortlessly over the body, creating a flattering silhouette. Unlike synthetic fabrics, silk naturally adjusts to temperature, keeping you cool in warmer settings and offering comfort in cooler environments. Silk dresses, such as those at Jasper Conran London, epitomise luxury and craftsmanship. Our renowned Celia collection comes in a range of colours perfect for all seasons; our standout black Celia in particular presents a classic silhouette, ensuring you look and feel your best.
Also new for AW24, we have a maxi-length version of our much-loved Celia, along with long sleeve silk wrap blouses.
For those seeking the utmost in elegance, silk is the superior choice. Its natural composition, durability, and comfort make it the ideal fabric for long-lasting, high-quality garments. However, other materials such as denim or velvet can also offer refined styles, providing fluid options that complement the variety of dresses in your wardrobe.
