Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lopez, and More Celebs Are Already Rocking Fall’s Biggest Dress Trends
Fall is just around the corner, which means cooler weather is on the horizon.

In fact, there is a slew of stylish dresses that have been designed with the cooler temperatures in mind — think longer hemlines and heavier fabrics.
Whether you prefer a cozy sweater dress or a sexy leather number, there’s a cute (and warm) fall dress out there for everyone. Just look to fashion-forward celebs like Gigi Hadid, Kate Middleton, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez, who have all been spotted out and about in similar seasonally-appropriate frocks.
