Before you decide to move your dress collection to the back of the closet in preparation for Fall, think again. These versatile pieces can be practically worn year-round with the right layering pieces and accessories. As one of the most flexible fashion seasons, Autumn is the best time to experiment with your outfit combinations, especially with fall dresses.
The best part is you likely already have enough key pieces in your wardrobe to play with without the need to splurge on new dresses—although we won’t judge you if you did. Let’s take a look at a few ideas to get you started.
1. Long Sleeve Dresses
As the weather gets chillier, long-sleeve fall dresses offer additional coverage to keep you warm. Long-sleeve dresses also tend to give off a more modest, sophisticated feel that can be perfect for wearing at work, date night, or other special events. Play around with various skirt styles and necklines to create specific looks and utilize layering pieces to create a plethora of outfits!
2. Dresses with Pockets
There is nothing more exhilarating than a dress with pockets. With how rarely accessible pockets are in the world of women’s fashion, finding fall dresses with this coveted addition can be quite difficult—but not impossible. A few dress tyles feature hidden pockets where the stitching is not visible and without altering the overall look of the dress. On the other hand, there are dresses with the pockets stitched on the outside, clearly visible while adding additional detailing to the dress.
3. The Nicole Dress from LuLaRoe
Featuring a fitted bodice, flattering scoop neck, and a feminine full-circle skirt, the Nicole dress from LuLaRoe has become a staple for this Fall season. This dress was made with versatility in mind allowing you to easily dress it up and down depending on the occasion. Available in multiple colors and prints, this is a must-have fashion piece for Fall. Don’t forget to layer!
4. Floral Prints
It is perfectly acceptable to extend the wear of your floral dresses into fall. Despite the common belief that florals are restricted to Spring and Summer fashion, you can certainly wear this feminine print well through Fall and even Winter. The key lies in pairing them with the ideal layering pieces and selecting more neutral Fall colors. Pair your favorite floral dress this fall with your favorite jacket, a pair of leggings, and tall boots for a comfortable everyday Fall outfit.
6. Sweater Dresses
There’s nothing more comfortable than sweaters. The mere thought of cuddling fireside with a comfy oversized sweater paired with your favorite leggings makes us wish Fall could arrive faster every year. Just like any other conventional dress, sweater dresses come in various styles, sleeves, necklines, colors, and lengths. They can be dressed up and down for various occasions and paired with practically all shoe styles. Throw over a coat and accessorize with a matching knitted hat and scarf for a cute cold-weather outfit!
