Fall fashion is the best of the year! Why? Well, it's the time for really showing off everything your wardrobe has to offer thanks to all those layers you're sure to style. But before you rush to your closet and unpack all of your best cardigans and fall coats, you'll need a few transition pieces fit for the season. That's where these cute fall dresses come into play!

While dresses for fall often come in shades of wine, mustard yellow, and brown, you don't have to wear the same old thing. Try something with a fun print, an oversized silhouette, or embellishments in Ree Drummond's style like embroidery and ruffles. Also, although we all love midi dresses and maxi dresses, don't count out short dresses or flowy numbers—they can double as cute fall dresses too, especially if you pair them with tights and a cute pair of ankle boots. Then just toss a suede jacket on top!

Of course like with any other season, fall dresses, ahem, fall on a spectrum of casual to fancy. Running around town? Try a sweatshirt dress or a long-sleeve dress with a casual tie-waist. Heading to a wedding? You can rock fall wedding guest dresses in knit maxi or a boho ruffled styles. Though if you ask us, you can never go wrong with sweater dresses. And don't forget to pick out your Thanksgiving dresses, too! It's all up to you—and you'll feel cozy no matter what!
