Alison Hammond, the beloved presenter on ITV's This Morning, has once again dazzled viewers with her autumnal style. On Friday, 19 September, the 50-year-old wore a striking burgundy faux leather shirt dress from River Island, priced at just £59. The dress, styled by Rachael Hughes, is the Red Faux Leather Belted Midi Shirt Dress, available in sizes 6 to 22.
Perfect for cooler weather, the midi dress features long sleeves, a smart collar, gold button details, and a matching belt to cinch the waist. The faux leather fabric adds a trendy edge, while the rich burgundy hue complements a variety of skin tones. Notably, the dress includes discreet side-seam pockets, blending practicality with style.
According to fashion experts like Gok Wan and Mark Heyes, faux leather is set to be a major trend this year. For those who prefer a more subtle look, the dress also comes in black. Styling options are versatile, from pairing it with strappy kitten heels to knee-high boots.
For shoppers seeking alternatives, Nobody's Child offers a Burgundy Cord Finchley Midi Shirt Dress for £89 in corduroy, while Mango has a Belt shirt dress in polyester for £59, though only in sizes 6 to 14. Burgundy remains a perennial autumn favourite, easily matched with camel coats, gold jewellery, or black ankle boots.
Alison is also known for her love of animal prints, having previously worn an M&S Printed Collared Button Through Shirt and a Brown Faux Leather Midi Skirt from River Island. The red faux leather midi dress is still available at River Island for £59, making it an affordable addition to any autumn wardrobe.
