The fall season might provide endless opportunities to sport an office-ready dress, but this season’s work dresses have more wear to them than just a simple 9-to-5 schedule—it’s the perfect time to invest in key styles that you can wear to the office and well beyond too.
When shopping for dresses that will go with everything on your fall style checklist, accessories are key. Start with a midi-length dress, for example, then pair it with calf-length or knee-high boots for a fresh spin on ’60s style. There are dresses on offer this season for every personality too, whether chunky-knit dresses or airy tiered baby dolls, denim minidresses or those in scholarly tweed. Before winter hits try pairing a short dress with a chunky loafer and knee-high socks for peak collegiate style à la Bella Hadid.
There are also plenty of summer shirtdresses that come in fall-friendly iterations, complete with leather belts and collar detailing: Shop them in solid colors or acid-wash denim, and cinch them with our selection of chic statement belts. Midi-dress styles, meanwhile, come in crisp cottons and all kinds of silhouettes, from full skirts and corseted waists to sleeves with exaggerated puffs. When the days grow colder, throw a blazer on top, or layer a knit underneath, for an extra-warm office ensemble. Finally let your go-to work look be an autumnal-hued long-sleeve floral frock, teamed with a pair of the season’s best black boots.
