21 Dresses That Make Upgrading Your Fall Wardrobe Incredibly Easy
These one-and-done frocks are true style saviors.
No matter the time of the year, there’s no denying the allure of a beautifully made dress. Yes, even fall dresses have the power to command attention (in the best way, of course), with a minimal amount of effort. Just throw one on, and you’re ready to face the day looking and feeling your best.
This season, you’re guaranteed to be a compliment magnet with a breezy chiffon number—like those spotted on the runway at Chloé’s fall/winter 2024 presentation. Whether you go for a ruffled mini or a pleated maxi, both styles look great paired with a leather boot or a dainty ballet flat. On the other side of the spectrum, now’s the time to embrace cozy knits. I’m especially in love with Toteme’s minimalist take on the sweater dress and The Frankie Shop’s effortlessly cool knit minis. No matter your mood or the event on the calendar, there are plenty of fall dresses—including options to wear to the office—to elevate your closet this season. Read on for the best of the best styles below.
