When you think about the fall
wardrobe basics
 you couldn’t possibly live without, a few
staples probably come to mind first. Yes, there’s the obvious
like black ankle boots, moto jackets, and chunky
sweaters
, but there’s another must-have that’s equally as
important to a solid autumn offering. Ding, ding, ding! You guessed
it—the fall
dress
.

You’re most likely well aware, but the dress silhouette in
question is far different than the summer go-to you wore for the
last few months. It’s normally in a knee or midi length, has long
sleeves (or has the ability to be layered with knits), and features
thicker fabrics. While there’s a variety of picks out there that
fit this description, it seems the fashion community has committed
to four fall dresses over the past few years. Yes, these are the
styles that haven’t just popped up here and there but continue to
quite literally invade fashion month, the streets, and everywhere
in between.

To highlight further, we’re showcasing the most famous fall
dress silhouettes that style-setters collectively wear on repeat.
Naturally, we shopped out the coveted finds for each as well to
get your closet ready for the season.

Style
Tip: A cozy sweaterdress mixed with square-toe sandals or boots is
a no-fail fall uniform.

Style
Tip: Go for that downtown-cool vibe with a layered white dress,
combat boots, and a slouchy blazer 

Style
Tip: Team a more classic, striped shirtdress with unexpected
knee-high boots to stand out.

Style
Tip: Test out a colorful maxi dress with knee-high boots and a
sharp blazer for that 9-to-5 life. 

Style
Tip: Don’t underestimate the power of the dress-over-pants trick
for a fashion-forward fall look.

Style
Tip: A sophisticated satchel looks flawless against a
floor-sleeping maxi dress.

Style
Tip: Make a black leather dress pop with white ankle boots and a
vibrant clutch. 

Style
Tip: Leather on leather is where it’s at right now. Incorporate
texture (like shearling outerwear), and you have yourself a
high-concept vibe.

Style
Tip: A long leather dress doesn’t need much other than cool shoes
and an of-the-moment bag.

Style
Tip: A pair of chunky sneakers are so wrong they’re right paired
with a pink dress and playful extras.

Style
Tip: There’s nothing easier than a statement throw-on-and-go dress
that requires nothing more than a few polished accessories for a
styled look.

Style
Tip: Embrace color-blocking with colored ankle boots that bring
contrast to a bold dress.
