Sure, Trousers Are a Fall Staple, But IMO, Dresses Are So Much Better—33 Gorgeous Styles From Mango, Reformation, and Anthropologie

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for wide-leg trousers and '90s-inspired straight-leg jeans, but I believe dresses are a severely underrated essential in a chic fall closet. As we transition from summer trends to new fall fashion, I highly recommend not setting aside your dresses just yet. Instead, reach for a cozy cardigan or a French woman's favorite, the trench, for a windy fall morning. I also hear the sporty funnel-neck style is giving the moto jacket a run for its money this season. Pair dresses with any of this season's trending shoe styles, from slouchy suede boots and low-profile sneakers to chunky clogs and, as It girls everywhere will suggest, ballet flats. Plus, as this temperamental NYC weather proves, rain boots are a must.

Below, I'm rounding up gorgeous fall dresses from Mango, Reformation, and Anthropologie, from romantic boho-chic styles that will have anyone asking "Is that vintage Chloé?" to sleek mock-neck knit minis that are guaranteed to turn heads. To me, fall fashion is all about looking rich and ensuring mornings run smoothly, and there's nothing easier than throwing on a chic dress and calling it a day. Scroll on to shop 33 stunning fall dresses.
