Before you know it, the temperature will be dropping and the air will be crisp. It'll be the season of pumpkin spice lattes and back-to-school shopping. As we head into fall, it's important to know that the season isn't all about sweaters and coats. That's right, dresses have a place in fall, just as they do in summer and spring. To help you figure out just how to get away with a dress when it's 40 degrees out, we've rounded up some of our favorite cute fall dresses. A lot of the options are casual, but we snuck in a few that would be ideal for the perfect autumn wedding. Remember to pair these with the right shoes and bag, and you'll be all set to go. And if you weren't a fan of long-sleeved dresses before, you're about it be!
A chic wrap dress makes everyone's curves look fabulous. Oh, and did we mention: this version is machine washable?
The velvet, the hue, the sleeve — we can't save enough about this dress. Sizes range from 12-32, and while do we love the gold, it's also available in white and royal blue.
Everyone needs a turtleneck dress in their wardrobe. The two layers of fabric not only offer support, but also a comfortable form-fitting look.
"I love this timeless and very beautiful, simple dress. I've purchased it in multiple prints and always love the design," one reviewer wrote. It's definitely the perfect grab and go option for the office.
The material here is lightweight, soft and stretchy, which makes it a great choice if you tend to run warm even during the colder months.
A classic sweater dress is great for a cool fall day. This option is comes in a bunch of great fall colors, including sage, orange and brown. Pair it with knee-high chocolate brown boots and tights to up the warmth factor.
A super-soft fabric is exactly what you want for the fall, and that's what this dress gives you (along with style and function).
Available in so many different colors and patterns, this dress is touted on Amazon for being super comfortable and offering a flattering fit. It's also a great maternity style.
You might think a maxi is only good for summer, but when you put a pullover sweater or jean jacket over it, you'll be all set for the fall weather.
A t-shirt dress is a must in any closet. This style brings a unique twist thanks to the draped side panels that can be tied at waist (as seen here) or or left loose to hang.
Lime green (or neon green, if you prefer) is actually one of the biggest color trends we're seeing for fall. This dress offers the bright color with enough coverage to keep you warm.
Make a statement in a playful leopard printed midi dress. You can wear it bare-legged with white sneakers in early fall, then swap it out for a pair of thick black tights and booties once the temperature really drops.
This 100% cotton design can be paired with heels or flats to become a perfect (and easy) work outfit.
The ribbed jersey fabric allows for stretch, while the neckline can be adjusted to your coverage perference. It's perfect for a night out or, if you dress it up, can work for a fall wedding.
We know what you're thinking: a cowl dress is more for summer. That might be true, but the vibrant yellow/orange makes this ideal for fall, especially when you add a cardigan or jacket with it.
Can it even be fall without denim? We think not. What we love best about this option is the classic collar and long sleeves, which can be rolled up for a more casual look.
