2. Maeve The Soren Long-Sleeve Shirtdress
Shirtdresses are always a good idea, especially come fall when the temps fluctuate from hot to cold like the flip of a switch. This seasonless tunic by Maeve has one working pocket on the chest and is made from a lightweight cotton that’s ultra breathable, so you shouldn't break a sweat while in those long sleeves. I also love how versatile it is when it comes to styling. One Anthropologie reviewer says, “I’ve worn [it] belted or unbelted and have gotten so many compliments. Seems intentionally oversized, so [it] definitely is on the larger end. [And it’s] comfortable but looks polished enough to wear to work, especially when belted.” I couldn’t agree more. Loop a thin belt around your waist and slide on your favorite heeled boots for a look that’s both appropriate for the office and your dinner date at six. As a bonus, this. style comes in multiple colors and patterns.

That makes it a great pick whether you’re looking to entertain, hang out with the in-laws or attend a bridal shower. “[I] wasn't sure about this dress when I bought it, but [I’m] pleasantly surprised,” says one Amazon customer. It’s made from “quality material [and comes] with a built-in skirt slip…[and it] covered up that little bit of mommy tummy pouch,” they added. Speaking of moms, this is a great dress to wear when you’re pregnant, too.

Who says pretty dresses can’t be functional, too?

7. L*Space Asher Long-Sleeve Dress
When I think of fall clothing, I think cozy, soft and, quite frankly, whatever will be the most comfortable for when I go apple picking with the fam. And while I love my classic sweatshirt-and-leggings combo, this number is a great option for when I've grown sick of them and desperately need to run a load of laundry. Here's why I think you'll love it, too: It has a crew neck for that sweatshirt feel, along with long sleeves to keep you warm. But unlike a slouchy sweatshirt, this beauty has a flattering, fitted silhouette and a cinching twist detail at the waist that shows off your form. It's definitely not your average pullover.

9. Pomander Place Hazelwood Vivianne Dress
IMO, you can never have too many fall turtlenecks, and this chic Pomander Place sweater dress ticks all the boxes. Not only is the neutral hazelwood a beautiful shade for the season, but the slightly boxy silhouette, three-quarter sleeves and relaxed turtleneck add just the right amount of character. The fabric even has the slightest shimmer, per the brand, making it a chic option for dressier occasions. “I found myself wearing the first one so much that I ordered another,” says one reviewer. “It washes well and doesn't hold wrinkles [and] is warm enough to layer with tights, a shirt underneath and scarf on the coldest days, or pair with bare legs on days that are a bit warmer. [It] easily dresses up or down with nice boots, casual tennis shoes, etc.” As for me, I'd take a page from the model’s styling above and wear this with some knee-high boots.

We may be talking about fall, but that doesn’t mean you need to put your breezy cotton dresses away just yet, especially if you live in hotter climates that don’t tend to cool off until November. Don’t be fooled by the sweetness of this airy, crinkled poplin mini dress. Shoppers can’t seem to get enough of its transitional appeal due to features like a V-neck, elbow-length sleeves and flouncy skirt—according to the brand, hundreds of them have added this dress to their carts over the past few days.

Per the brand, the piece is constructed of super soft TENCEL chambray, which should be lighter and cooler than traditional heavy denim. Complete with a button placket at the bodice, thick waist tie and roomy patch pockets, it checks every box needed to become a quintessential fall dress.

13. Everlane The Ribbed Wrap Midi Dress
Wearing a wrap dress in the fall is like throwing on your favorite sweater or fuzziest robe. Ideally, it's comfortable, flattering and oh-so soft against your skin, just like this relaxed style from Everlane. It's meant to fall below your knees, with an adjustable tie waist you can alter to your liking. According to reviewers, the thick, ribbed material has some stretch to it, so comfort is a go.

Due to its stretchy nature and roomy sleeves, some customers note that this can run slightly big, but that’s nothing a size down can’t fix.

14. SNDYS Lottie Dress
Drop-waist dresses are currently all the rage, and this one has stolen the hearts of tons of buyers—including Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz. “I live on the West Coast, where falls are languid and warm enough to feel like a late summer’s afternoon,” she explains. “So I’ve been searching for the fall version of the SNDYS Tahlia dress I couldn’t get enough of last summer. Lo and behold, the SNDYS Lottie dress was screaming my name. It’s in that same beautiful shade of brown that I’m sure will be everywhere this fall, and it’s made with that same weighted and thick cotton fabric that was both breathable and sturdy enough to withstand a breeze. And in true SNDYS fashion, it has a smocked waist that I can confirm gives and stretches easily. But what really sold me about this dress—besides the fact that it has the classiest fit—is the gorgeous back cutout detail that shows just the right amount of skin.”

17. Lulus Impressive Blossom Midi Dress
This embroidered floral dress, featuring three-dimensional flower appliqués, is totally reminiscent of Taylor Swift's stunning 2021 Grammys look—and is just over-the-top enough to make you the belle of any ball of this fall. It has a sheer floral design over a black dress that hits mid calf, but my favorite detail has to be the sheer sleeves that bring coverage and drama This blooming number is easy to dress up with a pair of heels but you need not to accessorize too much—the flowers will do the topping.

ICYDK, this Pomander Place beauty is a Our reader-favorite dress, and I totally get why. It has the most darling oversized flutter sleeves and the classiest V-neckline that isn’t too plunge-forward. I also can’t help but obsess over the boxy fit that complements the mini silhouette so well. As if that weren't enough, it has a hem that runs slightly longer along the back, making what would normally be a slightly risqué mini dress a modest outfit that you can wear whenever. Come the brisk weather, you can add some tights and loafers or boots to keep warm while you enjoy that bruschetta and wine al fresco.

Just because it’s about to get chillier doesn’t mean you have to put away strapless styles until spring, especially if we're talking this double-knit number from Everlane.

20. Lulus Autumn Sweetheart Two-Piece Sweater Dress
There's nothing quite like a sweater dress to keep you warm as you sip a pumpkin spice latte by the fire pit. This Lulus number is technically a two-piece, which allows you to embrace more coverage or go for a cuffed crop look, depending on the vibe. The waffle knit adds some great texture and the wrap-style overlay of fabric on the skirt keeps the intricacies going. It falls at a maxi length so your whole body can stay warm—just note that you might want to slip into some tights, as the skirt opens up to a high slit.

Marilyn Monroe pleats, but make them work-appropriate. This Ann Taylor dress is "beautiful, slimming and great for work" according to one happy buyer, who noted that the rich purple color is "more eggplant than maroon," though if you ask me, that still makes it a lovely choice for the autumn months. The crew-neck top flows into a flared pleated skirt that looks like it offers a ton of swishy movement, while a D-ring belt detail cinches in the waist to create a flattering silhouette you'll want to show off far beyond the office.

22. Free People Ultraviolet Dress
“I’ve been on the hunt for THAT Pretty Woman dress for what seems like my whole entire life,” says editor Meraz. “You know the one Julia Roberts wears when she accompanies Richard Gere to the horse races." Well, this brown polka dot dress comes mighty close to the real deal. A belt can easily be added to cinch the waist in, much like the one in the movie. To add a bit more pizazz, this one has a smocked bodice and low back with crisscross straps, as well as short, subtly puffed sleeves for visual dimension. The best part? It's even got pockets! But is it better than the OG dress? Considering the number of of 5-star reviewers who hail it as "classy," "comfortable" and "flattering," I'd say it gives it a run for its on-screen money.

Billowing ballon sleeves brings some fun to this versatile frock, which can easily take you from days at the office to a ladies' lunch. The slightly moody navy hue is balanced out by its blouson sleeves and feminine V-neckline. It's flowy enough to earn boho-chic dream status, with its fitted waist panel and fluttery skirt feeling extra romantic. I have a feeling you'll reach for it on repeat for both casual and dressy occasions all season long.
