Yes, it is still (and always will be) dress season! (Getty)
Anyone who tells you that flowy dresses are firmly for warm weather is wrong and hates joy. Dresses are an all-season staple, especially when it comes to fall fashion. You just need to get a little creative with layering sweaters, jackets, etc. and leave the strappy sandals at home. And maybe this is a bold opinion, but some of the best of the best are actually meant for the colder months. We decided to make our case by digging through the ultimate destination for finding autumn-worthy frocks: Anthropologie. And to underline our point — every single one of these beauties is marked down (including this find, which is nearly 40% off).
If you know, you know, but at any given time the retailer is full of cute dresses, and right now you can find hundreds of seasonal styles hiding in the sale section. Got a new pair of fall boots this year and need something to pair them with? Just really love a standout piece and want to give your wardrobe a little extra... something? Scroll below to shop our favorite fall dresses on sale at Anthropologie.
Ignore the haters: Florals are perfect for fall — especially dark and moody florals like this dress. The boho style is both on-trend and flattering at the same time thanks to the front knot, V-neck and asymmetric skirt hem. Wear it by itself or pop on a denim jacket depending on the weather. Doing your best Stevie Nicks impression is encouraged.
Between the plaid print, buttons and collar, this dress is basically the back-to-school uniform you actually wanted to wear. It's crisp and playful while still being appropriate for the office. Oh, and the smocked bodice keeps things so comfy, especially if your boob size changes every month. A win is a win!
Mini dresses for fall are a no-brainer. Hello, that's why tights exist! This timeless style is frilly, airy and will make you want to spin like an autumnal princess. It features little lace detailing, billowy sleeves with a smocked wrist and hidden buttons sneaking up the back. And that skirt? It'll make your legs look miles long, especially when paired with a good pair of boots.
Everyone needs a good throw-on-and-go dress, even when it's hot coffee season. We're obsessed with this adjustable, easy breezy style because you can wear it 24/7/365 depending on what you pair with it. Pro tip? Layer it over a black turtleneck and pair it with some short black booties for a classic look.
Ah, the sweater dress. She's comfortable, reliable and eternally chic. This gray one, however, takes your basic one and amps up the sophistication with the uber-flattering turtleneck and ribbed texture. And that secret slit? To die for. Wear it by itself of strap on a belt for an even more snatched waist. Prepare for all of the "where did you get that?!" questions.
We'll never say no to bright colors in the fall. If you want to make a bold statement, go with this fun and feminine dress. The large florals beautifully complement the balloon sleeves and thin pleats. Button it all the way up for a more conservative look or unbutton it a little for date night.
