Promising review: "I am so obsessed with this hoodie dress! It is soooo comfortable but so chic. Perfect material (not normal heavy sweatshirt material) and it lays perfectly. Perfect for errands or casual days. I got a large and it fits great (I'm size 14 and DDD chest)." —Regina K.

11. A faux-leather dress if you're looking to add a little drama to your fall wardrobe. You're going to feel so confident when you show up to dinner with friends dressed in this.
12. A super groovy fit and flare velvet mock turtleneck dress in a beautiful burnt orange color that will turn heads as you strut your stuff down the foliage-lined street. Bonus: it definitely has a 70s vibe to it, so you could dress this up with some go-go boots and colored sunglasses for a makeshift Halloween costume!

13. A knitted bodycon sweater dress with a tie waist that adds structure to the dress while also giving off a casual yet cool hoodie-tied-around-the-waist look.
14. A denim dress with a frayed hem that'll instantly make you look so put-together, even if you threw this on five minutes before running out the door.
15. Or a strapless denim maxi dress if you're looking for a super unique design that will wow all of your friends this fall. Wear this with your favorite platform heels or wedges and strut your stuff like the fashionista you are!
16. A casual striped midi dress that pairs perfectly with a jean jacket and those Oxford shoes you've been dying to wear all summer.
17. A maxi dress available in 45 (yes, 45!) colors and is the perfect base to build a full outfit off of. Throw on a utility jacket, booties, and a wide felt hat in the fall, and in the spring and summer, you can wear it on its own with sandals!
18. A boho maxi dress if you have a wedding to go to this fall that you forgot about until...well, right now, when I mentioned the word "wedding"! The burgundy color will beautifully complement the changing leaves outside.
19. A cardigan dress for the days you can't decide between wearing a sweater or a dress, so you just throw on a hybrid of the two! The stripe details and the pockets give this classic look a little extra flair.
20. A sloth-patterned frock to add some whimsy to your wardrobe this fall. Listen — sloths sleep up to 18 hours a day, and that alone is a feat we should celebrate them for.
21. A midi dress from Valani if you're sick of wearing pants and shirts to the office in the fall and are in desperate need of some long-sleeved dresses. The elbow-length sleeves and darker, structured fabric make this great for chillier autumn days, but it can also be worn when summer rolls around again thanks to the plant-based material that's naturally temperature regulating.
22. A T-shirt dress with a cute tie waist, pockets, and the versatility to be worn all year long, depending on how you style it. We recommend heeled booties, tights, and a long cardigan for this one, especially if you're wearing it to work and want to dress it up a bit.
23. A pleated, flowy dress perfect for any fancy occasion you have this autumn. The beautiful jewel tones will seriously *pop* every time you wear it!
24. A button faux-leather dress to layer over your favorite button-down shirt for an office-appropriate look that will still turn heads when you head out for drinks at night. Imagine how cute this will look with your favorite booties!
25. A statement-making oversized turtleneck dress so warm and cozy, you won't even need to wear a jacket when you wear it this fall. It's extra cute paired with thigh-high boots, as you can see in the fabulous reviewer pictures below!
26. A bodycon dress with a criss-cross hem that will get worn as much in the fall as it does in the summer. It'll provide the perfect base for that killer plaid blazer or suede jacket you've been waiting to break out of storage until the first leaf falls.
27. A plaid Peter Pan collar dress for a super cute and polished option you can throw on in the morning if you're running late because you spent all night watching your favorite scary movies. We think this would look great with either Mary Jane flats or combat boots depending on the vibe you're going for!
Promising review: "I recently bought a whole bunch of dresses on Amazon, and I gotta say, this one was my favorite of all of them! :) I just love plaid, and this dress with the Peter Pan collar actually looks very similar to an expensive designer dress I had been eyeing! Now I have a budget-friendly look. This dress is very lightweight (I do wish it was a little thicker, but no worries!). I added a petticoat under mine for some extra flare (but it looks good without one, too!). I also added a black bow at the neck for a school uniform feel. Adore it!!" —libbyfranc
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 10 styles).
Now that you're properly dressed for fall, grab your friends, head outside, and get ready to revel in all the fall activities.
