@shhtephsDress trends come and go, but the minidress is a true staple that will never not be a hit. Thankfully, there are plenty of long-sleeve styles to keep us warm year-round. Plus, they look great paired with tights and knee-high boots.

@sallyomoQuite possibly the most figure-flattering dress silhouette there is, the A-line dress doesn’t get enough credit. First made popular in the ’50s by Christian Dior, A-line silhouettes involve a fitted bodice that gradually flares out at the waistline toward the hem.

@slipintostyleLike the mini, midi dresses are another staple I’ll never get tired of wearing. Falling somewhere between the knee and lower calf, they allow for just enough leg to show off those cute new ankle boots.

@ali_tate_cutlerIn the spirit of the Y2K fashion revival, the body-con dress has resurfaced both on and off the runway. Scared? Fear not. Today’s formfitting styles are a departure from the bandage dresses of the early aughts and are, in fact, really cute. Think stretchy, ruched mesh and curve-hugging ribbed knits galore. Body-con may be the only “trendy” dress on this list, but I predict we’ll be seeing it around for seasons to come.

@lucywilliams02A floor-length frock always adds a bit of drama to any look. This fall, I’m looking to sweeping knits and flouncy puff-sleeve styles I’ll wear well into the winter.

@bellathomasA strapless dress is always a surefire way to look sleek and polished. But just because it calls for bare arms and collarbones, there’s no need to save yours for warm weather. A strapless dress can serve as a great layering piece under blazers and cardigans or even over a long-sleeve tee.

@mariaaliaIn terms of fall dressing, long-sleeve dresses are always a good choice. They’ll keep you warm and eliminate the need for a jacket or sweater, depending on the material. From simple, fitted sleeves to something more dramatic like the above, the options are endless.
