I love wearing dresses in autumn! It seems that designers go all out during this time, so I never have an issue finding the right fall dress for just the right occasion. Even if I go for the plainest dress available, I know it won’t take much to zhuzh it up since I can layer it with a cardigan. All that’s missing is the right pair of shoes—and perhaps a belt—to bring it all together.
I don’t know about you, but talking about fall dresses is making me smile inside (and I might be toggling between screens and buying one right now). Oh—and since I am currently shopping online, let me share what I’ve found so far—and even a few dresses I buy on repeat.
Let’s begin with the classic shirt dress.

You Can’t Go Wrong With A Distressed Denim Shirt dress
When it comes to fall dresses, denim is in my top 10—but not just any denim dress—it must be a shirt dress. If you’re looking for one to add to your wardrobe, this is a good choice! It’s the perfect length for fall and features fringe trim that highlights any shoe you pair with it.
This Is the Perfect Fall Dress For A Date Night
It’s hard to find a nice, flowy dress that doesn’t swallow me like a potato sack. This dress, however, is the exception. It’s light and tiered but also gathers at the waist, so it fits like a dream. Try this one if you’re not into floral prints or traditional fall dresses.
Flowers Aren’t Out Yet–Get Your Hands On This Dress!
If you’re like me, you love a good floral dress. My problem is finding one to wear after spring and summer. Thank goodness I found this beautiful floral fall dress to add to my wardrobe!It’s long, pleated and displays beautiful ruffle trim around the bodice and cuffs.
A Casual Minidress For Fall
This is the type of casual dress you wear on a warm and sunny day. What makes this the perfect fall dress for me is the tiered skirt, blouson sleeves and banded waist. It’s just the right length to wear with thigh-high boots or sandals, so it’s a win in my book.
Slip Into This Fall Dress And Watch Heads Turn
My grandmother—who was a fashionista in her time—told me one thing that I never forgot, “There’s never an occasion where a slip dress isn’t appropriate.” I agree! This satin fall dress is covered in beautiful flowers with a cutout at the chest and a seducing side slit.

Can’t Go Wrong With A Layered Floral Fall Dress
Layered. Mini. Mesh. Flowers. Is there any better combination of words to describe a fall dress? This dress really shows off your legs. Even if you’re short like me, this dress makes your legs look a lot longer than they are. Here’s a trick to lengthen them—wear nude heels.
If You Love Turtlenecks, This Fall Dress Is For You
I love turtlenecks just as much as the next gal, but admittedly, I get tired of wearing the turtleneck/jeans fall outfit combo—so, I switch to dresses. This turtleneck dress has everything I could want in a turtleneck top, with the bonus of a mid-length swing skirt.
Give Me All The Smocking!
Smocked fabric is like a gift from above. It sculpts you in just the right places and allows you to move freely without feeling restricted. This fall dress has a smocked bodice and cuffs, with a cute, tiered construction. And the square neck is perfect for showing off your fall jewelry.
Slip Into This Bodycon Fall Dress
Fall is the perfect season for sundresses, not to mention T-shirt dresses. This bodycon T-shirt dress is ruched around the waist and hips, which suits every body type. The casual silhouette and short sleeves make this the ideal fall dress for me.
A Swingy Summer Dress For Fall!
I know what you’re thinking, “A summer dress in the fall?” Yes! Why not? This is one of those crossover dresses that you can wear season to season by just adding a different accessory. The skirt is lightly pleated, the hem tiered, and it has its own self-tie waist — perfect for the fall.
Look Cute While Running Errands In This Loose Maxi Dress
As much as I love fitted T-shirt dresses, I sometimes want a more casual look—this loose-fit maxi dress is that casual go-to for me. It still has a T-shirt silhouette, but with added length and side slit.
Perfect BoHo Vibes for Effortless Style
BoHo dresses have been in style ever since the ’60s, and it’s little wonder why. They’re loose and feminine, with eye-catching prints and the perfect V-neckline. If you are looking for a cute BoHo fall dress that doesn’t break the bank, check this one out.
My Idea Of A Perfect Fall Beach Dress
Sundresses are so vibrant and beautiful, and they come in so many different cuts. This one has got to be one of my favorites. It’s the perfect length—just ending above the knee—with long loose sleeves and a blouse silhouette. All you need is a pair of boots, and voila! A perfect fall outfit.
This Fall, Wear Something New And Something Blue
I feel like this is one of those dresses you could get away with wearing anywhere. Not only is it the perfect shade of periwinkle blue, but it has one of those light plaid prints that you could wear casually or dressed up.
Bring Back Black And White Stripes!
What I like about this particular dress is the crisscross hem. It sends the stripes in an asymmetrical direction below the waist. It also has a casual crewneck and ruching around the waist—which I love. I wear this with sneakers, but boots work too!
This Is A Fall Wardrobe Must-Have
I’ve been purchasing this dress for the last two years in many different patterns! No wonder it has over 23,000 ratings! This dress has just the perfect amount of stretch and features side pockets and a pleated skirt. Since this fall dress is a little on the long side, it’s great for a breezy fall afternoon.
This Fall Dress Is Perfect For A Party
This halter neck dress is just right for a casual party or get-together. And unlike some floral dresses, the pattern on this one is not too overpowering. If anything, it highlights the details of this dress, like the exposed stitching and side slit.
A Fall Outfit That Demands Fun in the Sun
Every once in a while, there comes the perfect dress for the perfect occasion. This is one of those. I just love the way the stripes are patterned on this fall dress. They are horizontal at the bodice and vertical at the skirt, which stands out against a muted backdrop of fall foliage.
Thigh High Boots Are Perfect For This Fall Dress
This is the perfect A-line dress for running errands on a cool fall day. It features an always on-trend swing skirt silhouette, with short sleeves and concealed side pockets. You know what that means, right? You don’t need a purse!
The Perfect Summer/Fall Crossover Dress
This summer BoHo dress makes a great fall outfit. Since it has a tiered skirt, you only need a belt to disrupt the flow and transform it into an eye-catching ensemble. Since you can wear this dress through the summer and fall, you only need to change your shoes and add a cardigan on cooler days.
A Fall Dress That Screams Wild And Free
Have you noticed a theme here? I love BoHo dresses! This fall dress has blouson sleeves with elasticated cuffs, a cute tiered skirt, and a streamlined V-neck bodice. That’s fancy speak for “Get this dress—you won’t regret it!”
With a Slit Like This, Who Needs Boots
And last on the list, I have this suggestion for you. The sultry, long, fitted maxi dress with just the right amount of slit. This dress comes with a self-tie waist, so there’s no need for a belt! It’s also available in several earth tones, which beautifully complement any fall accessory.
