Make every moment a style statement with Windsor’s latest edit of short and mini dresses—designed to move with you from cozy brunches to starlit nights out. This season, lean into structured silhouettes, rich textures, and flattering fits that feel as good as they look.

Whether you're reaching for a ruffled skater mini or a sleek ruched bodycon, these dresses deliver effortless impact. Discover pieces in luxe satin, curve-hugging crepe, velvet, and soft mesh—each one tailored to elevate your cool-weather wardrobe with ease.

Trend-Forward Styles That Do It All

Slip into a knit mini dress for daytime polish or a strapless satin design when the lights go low. Mesh and embellished styles add texture and movement, while corset minis and wrap silhouettes bring structured charm. From coffee dates to holiday parties, these dresses adapt to every scene with refined versatility.

Seasonal Colors & Fabrics to Refresh Your Look

Explore trending hues like burgundy, emerald, and navy, or keep things timeless with classic black, ivory, and taupe. Luxe fabrics—velvet, satin, crepe, and ribbed knits—add warmth while bringing softness and structure to every step.

Pair yours with heeled booties and bold jewelry for an elevated finish, or go casual with sneakers and a faux leather jacket for a laid-back twist.

Looking to shine? Discover short and mini dresses with glitter mesh, rhinestone trims, and lace-up backs—perfect for nights out, holiday dinners, and celebratory moments in style. For graduations or milestone events, our corset minis with flattering details and modern cuts are designed to make you unforgettable.

For a sleek and versatile staple, reach for a classic LBD or a chic asymmetric mini—easy to style, hard to ignore.

Polished to Playful—All in One Dress

Long-sleeve minis with belted waists bring polish to your day, while open-back bodycons and one-shoulder styles amp up the drama by night. Whether you're dressing up or dialing it back, Windsor’s short and mini dresses let you express your style with confidence.

Find your fit online, in-app, or at one of our 350+ Windsor stores and step into your next fall look with main character energy.

Are Short Dresses And Mini Dresses The Same?

Short dresses and mini dresses have similar silhouettes but are not always the same. Short dresses can vary in length and fit depending on your body shape and height. Both can have a hem that falls on the thigh, but above the knee like with a skater dress. Short dresses can also vary in dimension when designed with side or front drawstrings or ruffle ruching. Windsor mini dresses are usually the shorter style and come in sexy designs with front slits, asymmetrical hems, or open backs and stylish necklines. If you need to choose between a short dress or a mini dress, it’s best to consider the type of event and where the dress falls on your leg. These quick tips will help you be in style comfortably and get compliments on your keen fashion sense.

Can Short Dresses Be Formal?

Short dresses are typically seen as less formal, but with certain attributes and features, you can totally wear them to a special occasion. Sequin, beading, and heat stone embellishments elevate a short dress, as well as chic fabrics such as satin, velvet, glitter knit, chiffon, and taffeta. Party dresses and skater dresses should be explored for special occasions or events like graduations, 2025 Homecoming, or any wedding event from the rehearsal to the reception.
