In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the depths of winter.

Sure, this might be sad news for some, but we’re really excited because cooler weather means we get to wear winter fashion again.

Think: long-sleeve dresses, cosy knits, all the boots and coats that make any outfit instantly chicer.

WATCH: Check out some autumn/winter fashion inspo in this video below, post continues.

But if the prospect of getting dressed to go… somewhere feels like a lot, allow us to introduce you to the new, budget-friendly long-sleeve dress we’ll be wearing everywhere.

It’s the Kmart High Neck Pleated Maxi Dress and it only costs $28.

There’s a lot to like about this dress. Like the fact, it comes in sizes 6-20. And the high neck, high-waisted, midi shape that will suit most body types (women with bigger boobs like this writer will probably need to size up to allow room for the girls).

The black is simple but super versatile, and the sheer fabric overlay, ruffle detailing and fine white spots make the garment look more expensive than its affordable price tag. The sleeves will also give your arms a bit of protection against chilly winds, should you find yourself caught without a jacket like Mum warned you would happen.

Following the Kmart knits that have been going off over the last few weeks, we're sure this long-sleeve dress will pop up all over your Instagram feed soon enough.

As for how to style it, you can wear with a black belt and loafer slides a la YouTuber and influencer Paige Kennedy above, or with white sneakers and a long line coat or denim jacket. Or, chuck your favourite winter jumper over the top and you've got a completely new outfit.
