Now that the weather is finally cooling off, it’s time to find those fall wardrobe essentials. But don’t get us wrong—these dresses are anything but boring. For the romantic, cult-favorite Copenhagen-based label Ganni and Selena Gomez-approved Coach both have casual fall dresses to try. Big meeting at the office? A Givenchy ankle-length dress will be your go-to; pair with chic leather boots and you’ll be ready to go. For a casual night out, we love French designer Isabel Marant’s bohemian frock, and if you’re in the mood for more of a ‘70s throwback look, a fitted dress from Beaufille is the way to go. Here are 13 chic dresses that will make transitioning to fall super easy.
