These 32 Elegant Fall Dresses Look Incredibly Chic With Boots

I feel like every season has a signature outfit formula, and for fall, mine is a dress and boots. Both elements get annual updates based on current trends, but it's an outfit combination I always revert back to. The moment the calendar strikes October, I get hyperfixated on my favorite fall boots and dresses, and my other clothes take a back seat. Whether it's a mini, midi, or maxi, I think adding a pair of sleek knee-high boots creates the perfect fall outfit.
Since 2024 has been the year of elegance, the fall dresses I'm reaching for this season are full of sophisticated touches—from draped details to shoulder-baring silhouettes and full skirts. I took a scan through my favorite retailers in search of elevated fall dresses to add to my wardrobe and found 32 utterly chic options that are too good not to share. Below, I'm highlighting the best elegant dresses to wear with boots.
