Prep For Cool Days With The Best-Rated Fall Dresses For Women

As we begin to reunite with all the wonderful aspects of cozy season (hot beverages, retreats to log cabins, and, of course, candles galore), we’re also pulling out our favorite fall sweaters and timeless cardigans to the front of our closets. Just don’t forget about the one-and-done dresses that make getting dressed a breeze.

Dress season didn’t end with the warm weather. In fact, there are a number of fabulous fall frocks for women just waiting to be paired with your go-to chunky loafers or the season’s trendiest boots. The only question you really need to ask yourself is:  Which one to pick?

While there are some styles you can count on to make an appearance as soon as temperatures start to drop (we're talking knits, off-the-shoulder silhouettes, and neutral hues), others are more of the minute, like runway-inspired pleats, ruffles, and dramatic sleeves. Whether you want an everyday piece, a fall wedding guest look, or a work-approved style, there’s a fall dress for you. To make sure you’re satisfied with your wardrobe addition, we turned to shoppers to find the best of the best for the season ahead. All of these options are easy to layer with boots and outerwear — most importantly, though, they have a plethora of good ratings and in-depth reviews across our go-to retailers, like Free People, Anthropologie, and Abercrombie & Fitch. We’ve followed the proverbial breadcrumbs in order to round up the 15 best fall dresses for women on the internet right now.
