One of the best parts of the lead-up to fall (and the impending drop in temperatures to go with it) is pulling out all your favorite cold-weather pieces. As we put our favorite denim cutoffs into storage and begin building our wardrobe for the next season, there’s one dress style in particular that every fashion girl should have: short-sleeve midi dresses.
Looking at the most recent runway shows, we’ve been seeing this dress everywhere, and it’s easy to see why. With its short sleeves and longer skirt, this style is one of the best transitional pieces to stock in your closet. Wear them on their own with a pair of mules while it’s still warm out, and as soon as the cold comes in, style them with tall boots, maybe some tights, and a turtleneck for more coverage.
Ready to add this staple to your wardrobe? Ahead, we scoured the internet for our favorites on the market so you don’t have to. Shop them all below.
