No matter the season, there are plenty of opportunities to wear a dress, and now that fall is here, I'm excited to embrace some fresh new-season styles in my wardrobe. From rich burgundy hues to sumptuous satin, there are a handful of dress styles that are dominating at all our favorite retailers right now—and will be a welcome breath of fresh air to my daily outfits.
Whether you lean toward minimalist silhouettes or love a statement print, the F/W 24 runways showcased a whole host of cool designs to suit every sartorial taste. Below, I'm sharing seven dress styles that are wearable and chic and will have you looking altogether on-trend. The best part? All my picks are under $150.
Sumptuous Satin
Fluid satin shimmered down the runways from Ferragamo to Victoria Beckham, reminding us of all the opportunities to dress up that fall and winter bring. Opt for dresses in elegant shades such as burgundy, chocolate brown, olive, ivory, and black to instantly make your ensemble look more expensive.
Burgundy
Fall 2024 is all about rich and luxurious burgundy, from cherry to merlot and oxblood. There are so many incredibly chic and affordable options that ooze an autumnal elegance.
Boho Vibes
If you're looking for that Chloé vibe this fall, opt for chiffon, lace, cape, or ruffle dresses to style with your leather boots or clogs—all of which you can find sans the designer price tag.
Elevated Knits
It's knit-dress season—and there are plenty of new styles to get you excited for autumn. From stripes to asymmetric silhouettes, these options below will make your outfit 10 times chicer.
Leopard Print
Leopard print is having a major moment this fall. A statement mini or midi dress styled with a blazer and kitten heels is a look that's guaranteed to garner plenty of likes.
Elegant Minidresses
From shift silhouettes to tweed dresses and sophisticated necklines, minidresses are getting the elegant treatment this season. Look for elevated details that will add a refined touch to your fall look.
Plaid
In various shades of red, dresses are a classy way to do plaid this fall.
