“Dresses are a wardrobe essential for the Shopbop customer,” Caroline Maguire, Fashion Director at Shopbop, tells WWD. “Especially classic yet effortless pieces that are versatile in look feel, and function, adding sophistication to any look.” When it comes to fall dress shopping, versatility is a key player. “We really try to make pieces that can take you a lot of places depending on how you style them,” Julia Workman Brown, Co-Founder of Cara Cara, says. “Even a shoe choice can make a big switch from day to evening. As a working Mom who also loves fashion, I look for a lot of versatility in my wardrobe.”

When creating that perfect capsule closet, you’ll want to look for options that will play double duty all season long. “I recommend looking for a dress that works for your lifestyle,” Maguire suggests. “Since my days are mostly spent running around the city for market appointments or kid drop-offs, I tend to go for a voluminous midi, styled with a chunky boot or flats. I need something both comfortable and chic. I can then just swap in heels, and I am dressed up for a dinner or an event!” Looking for 9-to-5 options and beyond will make daily outfits that much easier. Considering these practical pointers will help create a well-rounded wardrobe, but functionality is not the only thing to keep in mind.

“I wait all year long for the thrill of Fall in New York, and nothing sparks that feeling in me more than a fabulous new sleeved dress,” Sasha Martin, Co-Founder of Cara Cara, says. “It seems we’re all craving rich colors and textures after the dog days of summer wind down.” She continues, “Our girl is craving structure and heavier textures. She’s been wearing easy sundresses and spaghetti strap styles for months and is ready for fabrics and silhouettes that evoke a new mood.”

When choosing your Fall dresses, you really want to lean into fabrics and hues that feel in tune with the season itself. Katie Hobbs, Co-Founder of Cara Cara, says, “Fall is our most varied collection yet and includes dresses designed in crisp cotton poplin, flowy silk chiffon, stretch velvet and a wrinkle-resistant viscose that flatters the figure – all in romantic, nature and interiors inspired prints.” Maguire adds, “Incorporating unique and rich textures, designers are mixing and matching knits, tweeds, boucles, and leathers, adding just the right amount of drama and dimension to a look.” Searching for pieces with plenty of textures, will add diversity to your wardrobe and make them more seasonally appropriate.

Top Women’s Fall Dress Trends for 2022

  • Maxi Lengths: Seen across the Fall 2022 runways, from Chloé and Proenza Schouler to Altuzarra, the maxi dress was having a moment this season. The unique thing about fall maxi and midi dresses is they can be very informal, perfect for a day of appointments or weekend brunch, or very dressed up, like a gown for a night out. Plus, there’s a majority of maxi-style work-appropriate dresses if you’re heading back to the office.

  • Dark Florals: Florals for Fall might not necessarily be groundbreaking, but they are the perfect transitional print to take your wardrobe into the cooler months, post-summer. Ulla Johnson, Carolina Herrera, and Erdem all showed beautiful, moody blooms across their Fall/Winter 2022 collections, making for a no-brainer option.

  • Velvet: Nothing is as lush and quintessentially autumnal as velvet fabric. There were quite a few dramatic evening styles at Ala?a, Christian Dior, and Valentino on the runway this season, but it doesn’t mean the fabric can only be reserved for evening. There are plenty of casual fall dresses made of velvet that can be worn for day events and beyond.

  • Embellished: After a summer of vacations, Fall means getting back to those social functions, from cocktail parties, charity events, and weddings that call for evening dresses. “Overall, I think we’re gravitating towards pieces that evoke emotion and make us excited to get dressed,” Maguire states. “Especially since Fall brings on more events and reasons to celebrate, our customer is looking for elevated dressing — think embellishments like rhinestones, cut outs, hardware and textured fabrics — anything to show one’s personal style.” Take cues from the runway, like the dresses at Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, and Chanel, and lean into the sparkle trend for your next night out.

How to Style a Dress This Fall

Styling a Fall dress is all about layering and lots of accessories. “The possibilities are endless for fall dresses!” Maguire says. “I love that there are no rules. Go short with a fun mini, long with a sophisticated maxi, or add dimension by layering your favorite dress over tops or even pants (a staple style of mine!). Top off any fall dress with the season’s best accessories and you’re good to go from day until night!” Workman Brown, agrees saying, “I wore the strapless dress from the fall collection with an oversize cardigan to work with flats; it transitioned perfectly to a date night with my husband. This same dress could have worked for a September wedding.” Adding elements on top of your dress, like a chunky cardigan, a tailored blazer, or an oversized coat will help play with texture and keep you warm as well. Underneath, try adding a turtleneck or white T-shirt, to add dimension and change up the overall look. Style with a solid rotation of various accessories too, to keep your dress looking fresh for every function. As for footwear, you can pair your any and all your fall dresses with boots, heels, and sneakers.
