As Autumn/Fall comes in, the weather is getting cooler and it's time to give your wardrobe a refresh or discover what you already have that can be used to kick your autumnal fashion up a notch!
In this post, I'll be showcasing 36 dresses from multiple brands that are perfect for this season.
Autumnal Colours/Patterns
As I've said before, nature is a great source of inspiration when you're putting together an outfit or interior. In the autumn, nature is changing; the grass is darker and more dull, the sky is more grey, and the leave on the trees are turning a variety of browns, oranges, reds and greens.
More muted colour-schemes look great in the autumn, but bright yellows, reds and oranges can also look great as they imitate the leaves.
Tartan/Plaid, camo and animal prints are great statements in autumn as well as darker florals and ribbed textures.
a. This floral pinny dress is great for this season, featuring subtle orange and brown tints in a rose detail over a dark base. Personally, I'd wear this with a cream cable-knit turtleneck with long sleeves and pair it with black tights and black ankle boots. For accessories I'd probably wear a black bowler hat and either a brown or black leather jacket if it was getting cold.

b. This turtleneck dress is cute and simple with ribbing for some detail and interest. You could wear this year-round, but orange is a great bold colour to wear during the autumn and it has a cute sweater-vibe. I'd pair this with a camo bomber jacket and thigh high/over the knee black chunky boots.

c. A simple t-shirt dress is always a great casual option. This one has a bold motif on the front referencing autumn's special holiday and would look great during the day or at a party. I'd style this dress similarly to the picture shown; a black band choker, a cat ear headband, black leather jacket, fishnet tights in any colour and black boots.

d. Similarly to the first orange dress I showed you, this is a simple and effortless piece that's easy to style. It's a great option if you want to wear a dress without tights when it's colder and also has long sleeves so you don't always need a coat. It's a great statement in a bright orange, and I would style this with a pair of black boots and a black leather or bomber jacket with the sleeves rolled up. In the evening or on a night out, I'd pair it with some open toe black strappy shoes and a black cat-ear headband as a nod to Halloween.

a. This roll-neck knit dress is a great staple for the colder months and can easily be transitioned into winter when that rolls around, so for added warmth I'd wear some sheer tights and a long coat. To finish the look, I'd most likely wear some high heeled ankle boots and a black floppy hat.

b. This dress is a cute and comfy option with a simple stripe pattern that's easy to style. In this case if it wasn't a particularly chilly day, I'd add a long black vest over the top with a belt and some chunky sandals.

c. A midi-dress is great for when the weather is changing; it's short enough to allow for some breeze but will generally keep you warmer than a shorter dress or shorts. This simple grey smock has a nice cutout on the back for a bit of interest when not wearing a jacket - I'd wear it with some black tennis shoes and a silky bomber jacket.
You can purchase it here!
d. A tie-waist dress is a perfect option when you're in a rush! It looks styled already so it doesn't require much effort when putting together your outfit. This one is also in a red plaid material which is always looks good in the autumn time. I'd style this with a black beanie, tights and trainers.

a. I really love a top or dress with a lace-up detail and have a few in my wardrobe, so of course I couldn't not include this one! I'd style this with some sheer tights, black over the knee boots and a jacket.
You can purchase it here!
b. This Halloween-themed dress has a flirty skeleton detail on the front, a perfect item to wear for Halloween if you don't want to go all out, but you could easily rock it during the day. I'd pair this with some strappy black heels and bomber jacket, then add a witches hat for a party.
You can buy it here!
c. You could wear this next piece year-round as it's a thin material and mostly sheer. For this season however I'd layer it over a tight black long sleeved turtleneck tucked into shorts, then finish it off with sheer tights, ankle boots and a long coat. This could also be easily worn during the day or night so would be a great staple piece to add to your wardrobe.

d. I love edgier pieces, especially in the colder seasons, so this dress speaks to me as a great option. I'd again layer this over a tight black turtleneck with long sleeves, but then add a black bowler hat, long coat and finish off the look with some black or metallic platform trainers.

*Before you buy from Romwe, I'd suggest you read my review of them here to decide whether or not to order from them online.
a. This dress is special because its stretchy material allows it to double as a pencil skirt! I'd style this by layering it over a cream turtleneck with long sleeves (or use it as a skirt with the same top), then pair it with thigh high/over the knee boots and a deep red beret.
You can purchase this here!
b. This stretchy sheer leopard print dress is perfect to layer and add interest to your outfit. I'd layer this over a black sleeveless or strapless mini dress, then add a long black leopard print coat and black chunky ankle boots.
You can buy it here!
c. I love how sultry yet elegant this dress is. It features a floral cross to cover your chest in perfect autumnal colours, and would look great for a night out or layered during the day. I'd wear this dress with a red tartan coat and chunky lace-up boots in red also.
If you like to be a bit more daring, you can grab this dress here!
d. Oversized items have been "huge" (get it?) in the fashion industry recently and this dress is perfect for this trend and this season with its oversized style, long sleeves and burnt orange plaid pattern. This would look great with a boxy black coat, cape or leather jacket, and could be cinched in at the waist with a belt if you'd prefer a more hourglass shape.

TOPSHOP
a. This autumnal-coloured maxi dress is a feminine and floaty way to transition into autumn. I'd style this with some platform sandals in black or brown and if it was chilly I'd add a denim jacket over the top.
You can buy this here!
b. I love how this shirt dress mixes floral with camo in an interesting and feminine way, with a nice cutout detail on the shoulder. I'd style this with a deep green silk bomber, sheer tights and a pair of brown boots.

c. This dress is cute and simple with a nice autumnal theme and tassels on the side. I'd style this with a brown belt to lift the middle seam to the waist and cinch it in. Finally I'd add a brown pair of mule heels and brown leather jacket.

d. A simple and cute dress with a few colour options to base your outfit on. For this I'd style it with a long, black, slouchy cardigan and layer a burgundy long coat over the top. I'd finish the outfit with sheer tights and burgundy ankle boots.

a. This dress is feminine with simple floral embroidery and floaty skirt. You could easily dress this up, but during the day, I'd personally style it with a black pac-a-mac paired with a black cap and chunky black sandals.

b. Similar to the first dress, it's floaty and feminine, best paired with simple and plain pieces. Again I'd probably keep this casual and style it with a black pac-a-mac or bomber jacket and some platform sandals.

c. Camo is a great pattern for autumn and this dress features long sleeves for the colder weather but gives you easy movement and comfortability with the side splits. I'd wear this under a black leather jacket with the sleeves rolled up and some chunky platform boots.
You can buy it here!
d. This short dress is fun and flirty with its embroidered front detail and turtleneck style. I'd wear this with a faux fur brown mix coat, sheer tights and black ankle boots, maybe with a nice floppy hat to chic it up.

NEW LOOK
a. A boxy tunic dress like this is always a cute and simple style reminiscent of the 60s. It's in a autumnal colour scheme with tartan, has some decently-sized pockets and sleeves to give some warmth to your arms. I'd wear this with a long grey coat, black choker, sheer tights and some black ankle boots.
You can buy it here!
b. A skater dress has a fun and flirty shape that looks great on all body types. This one has 3/4 length sleeves for some warmth and adds detail with a sweet crochet peter pan collar. I'd wear this with a cropped denim jacket and over the knee black boots with a chunky heel.
You can purchase this here!
c. This tunic dress is again a great item to have in your wardrobe, especially for the colder months. This red and blue check pattern with white threading is perfect for autumn and would transition effortlessly into winter. It also has a nice choker detail and flattering v neck shape which is very in style right now. I'd brighten this up a bit by layering it over a long sleeve white jumper (either with a matching v or turtleneck style) with bell sleeves for a more 70s vibe. Then I'd finish the look with thick black tights and a black pair of chunky heels with an ankle strap.

d. Similar to the previous dress in shape, this more fitted velvet dress is a great piece as velvet is very on trend this season. I'd style this with long black cardigan under a long black mohair coat (both a similar length to the dress), sheer tights and black heeled ankle boots.
