Come autumn, I’m usually a jeans & sweater person. But these 4 new fall dress trends are giving me all the heart eyes & inspiring me to wear more dresses this season.
While the true first day of fall is September 21, the temperatures here in Georgia show no reason to dress for autumn until October. I, personally, love October; it’s cool enough to wear knits, boots, and long sleeves. But still warm enough to not have to break out my puffy coat or Comfy (iykyk). This season’s fall dress trends are gorgeous and are inspiring me to wear them more than my usual jeans-and-chunky sweater fall uniform. Layer these frocks with tights, boots, jackets, jewelry, a hat or chunky belt and instantly have a look that is as unique and beautiful as you.
Luxe Leather (Faux & Real)
Croc Embossed Leather Shirt Dress, $99 / Somerset Faux Leather Mini Dress, $160 / Faux Leather Ruched Shirt Dress, $59.90
This season’s leather trend goes well beyond leggings and motojackets. A cross between biker babe and runway chic, leather is everywhere. Pants, tops, blazers, and yes, even dresses.
Statement Sleeves
Voluminous Sleeve Dress, $59.90 / Puff Mini Dress, $79.95 / Puff-Sleeve Clip-Dot Swing Dress, $39.99
“The bigger the better” is definitely the motto for this fall dress trend and I’m here for it. Ranging from tame balloon sleeves to voluminous bat sleeves, this style definitely makes a statement.
Moody Florals
Somerset Chiffon Maxi Dress, $170 / Printed Midi Dress, $69.90 / Floral Print Shirt Dress, $79.90 / Long Print Dress, $89.90
For me, florals are tricky. It’s hard to find a floral pattern that doesn’t make me feel like I should be churning butter on Little House On The Prairie. I am not a fan of the current “cottage-chic”style. But these dark-hued moody patterns and sleek style details make for a beautiful combination.
Corduroy Chic
Puff Mini Dress, $79.95 / Collared Mini Shirt Dress, $44.50 / Ruffled Shirt Dress, $61.60
Corduroy is not new to fall fashion but this classic fabric got a chic overhaul this season. Ruffles, tie waists, ballon sleeves (2 fashion trends-in-one) and even mini-dresses. Plus, this velvety ribbed fabric is super warm and will keep you feeling toasty on cool crisp fall days.
So tell me, which trend is inspiring you to make the switch from sweaters and jeans to a fall dress?
