The 10 Best Rixo Dresses You'll Go Back to Time and Time Again
These standout styles will earn a place in your wardrobe for years to come
If you’re searching for the best Rixo dresses, chances are you already know the London label’s reputation for joyful, vintage-inspired prints and ultra-flattering silhouettes. Since launching more than 10 years ago, Rixo has become a go-to brand for standout occasionwear as well as elevated everyday pieces—the kinds of dresses you’ll wear to weddings, big birthdays, holidays and everything in between.
Entering double digits is no mean feat for an independent brand, especially in today’s challenging retail climate—but founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey have carved out a distinctive niche thanks to their instinctive understanding of what women actually want to wear. Because above all, Rixo is a brand designed by women, for women—and it's precisely this which has helped propel it to international cult status, and into the wardrobes of the likes of Kate Middleton, Kristin Davis, Hailey Bieber and Olivia Rodrigo.
From signature bias-cut midis and playful print clashes to softly defined waists and endlessly wearable hemlines, Rixo's dresses strike a rare balance between statement-making and genuinely versatile. Many styles can be dressed up with heels and jewellery for events, then reworked with boots, flats or knitwear for the day, making them feel like long-term wardrobe investments rather than one-wear wonders. Add to this an impressively inclusive size range (many designs are available up to a UK 26) and it’s easy to see why Rixo continues to resonate with such a broad, loyal audience—myself included.
I count myself lucky to be part of this #humansofrixo movement. In fact, I have one particular dress that’s so good—silky, orange and with slits that shoot up either leg—that it’s been worn by myself, my sister and my friend, who borrowed it for a mutual girlfriend’s wedding. And both the brand’s permanent and new Spring 2026 collections are filled with fabulous dresses that you’ll similarly want to share with your nearest and dearest—and wear on repeat yourself.
So, now that spring has decidedly sprung and warmer, sunnier days are firmly on the horizon—as well as all the events that come with them—this is prime time to start thinking about investing in a great new Rixo dress (or two). Whether you’re after a romantic floral for wedding-guest season, a statement leopard print for evenings out or an easy polka-dot midi you can style from day to night, the brand’s latest collections are full of pieces that promise maximum impact with minimal effort.
Below, I’ve hand-picked the ten best Rixo dresses worth shopping now—spanning timeless signature styles alongside fresh new-season standouts worth adding straight to your basket.
