Nothing evokes the romance of autumn like an elegant yet cozy dress. From tonal silks to nubby knits, autumnal-hued plaids and florals, this season’s dresses play well with luxurious leather and suede accessories. Whether you’re shopping for a Saturday spent apple picking, hosting a cozy dinner party at home or going to a fabulous fête, I’ve got you covered. Shop my favorite autumnal dress style edit below…
- Shirtdresses are a personal favorite anytime of year but this autumnal plaid version from Ralph Lauren is a must-have for casual events this fall and winter. Layer up with a thin cashmere turtleneck underneath and boots like I did for a little extra warmth, for dress it up with a chunky gold necklace and suede heels for a dinner out.
- This burgundy floral dress is calling my name. Pair with a block heel sandal and a suede bag.
- I’m obsessed with sweater dresses + riding boots this time of year, and brought this cream cable knit version and this orange sweater dress to England. Add a belt, or leave loose and pop the collar of a denim shirt underneath!
- This paisley silk wrap dress is super flattering and the perfect fall color palette. Perfect for taking you from the office to happy hour drinks!
- Love this uber-glamorous dress for all your fall events this season.
- Throw this easy cotton cocoa dress on with a cable knit sweater over your shoulders and knee high point toe boots.
- Just window shopping but wow this dress is so fabulous!
- Wear this bold red midi dress (size down) with a chocolate statement belt and matching heels now and swap for sparkly acccessories to wear to holiday parties later.
- Technically this is a top and skirt – not a dress – but no one will know when it’s on. I love the pattern and cut of this combo. Add a belt to pull it together.
- I just ordered this merlot off the shoulder knit dress which is perfect for date night but will still keep you warm.
- This houndstooth mini dress would look great with a turtleneck and loafers, or tights and booties.
- If you live in a warm place but want an autumnal look this olive dress is lightweight and fab with a belt and flats. (As seen here.)
- Pair this berry dress with burgundy accessories for a feminine fall look.
- This floral dress is on major sale and I love how they styled it.

I’m loving the plaid Ralph Lauren dress you are wearing. I notice you mentioned Tory Burch a couple of times. Do you ever shop in the Tory Sport section? I bought a dress in the Tory Sport section for pickleball and wear it more than just for pickleball. I love the wrinkle-free fabric with the dress going to my knees rather than mini. It makes it look appropriate for just running around town.

I love tory sport and have a bunch of their tennis pieces – which don’t fit me at the moment but are some of my favorite items from the brand! xx SF
The dress looks perfect in England! I love plaid and how can you beat a Ralph Lauren shirt dress! Love it too belted above the baby bump!
For the Theory houndstooth mini dress, would you wear the turtleneck under or over?

Hi Sandy! I’d personally wear a thin black turtleneck underneath the dress. Would look great with tights and pumps too! xx SF
