I wear dresses more than any other item of clothing. What's not to love about them? They're easy to style and comfortable, and they make me look so put-together. Basically, a dress is the easiest way to be lazy and look good while doing it. Especially during thefall, the formula is simple: a great dress and chic shoes topped off with the right bag and jewelry. Voilà—you're done. There is nothing like a good sweaterdress paired with tall boots or a classic midi dress paired with sleek pumps.
Whether you're going to the office, going on a date, packing for a trip, or attending a special event, having a collection of great dresses in your closet is key. I rounded up 31 chic dresses from brands like L'Academie, Reformation, and H&M that have my stamp of approval for fall.
