Gillian Anderson redefines the muted winter palette in vibrant crimson red shirt dress
We're shopping similar styles before they sell out

For a recent appearance on the This Morning Show to discuss her new book Want, Gillian Anderson caught our attention in a crimson red shirt dress. Her sophisticated look offers a refreshing break from muted winter tones— so we're shopping similar styles from our high street favourites.
Curating the ultimate winter capsule wardrobe truly centres around being stylish, warm, and of course having versatile staples that you can wear on repeat. And when it comes to colour most of us tend to play it safe with darker more muted tones. However adding a pop of bright, like cherry or crimson red, can really energise your cold-weather looks.

The vibrant red shirt dress from Edeline Lee truly embodies an effortless sophisticated feel and the bold pop of crimson makes this outfit perfect for the festive season ahead. You could even consider a red shirt dress with sparkly accessories for the ultimate Christmas party outfit. Anderson teams the dress with sleek black slingback heels and she further accessorised with gold, opting for a chunky bracelet and glamorous gold rings.

Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr comments, "We've seen rich red shades everywhere this season, but nobody wears it as well as Gillian Anderson. Her button down shirt dress is festive yet sophisticated, and could be worn with everything from chunky biker boots to suede knee high boots".
This look just proves that bold, vibrant colours deserve a place in everyones wardrobe, and that you don't need to rely on dark heavy tones to feel chic this winter. Opt for bold colours from crimson to buttery yellow tones, and embrace the power of warm colourways.
