It should come as no surprise, but here at Us, we’re huge fans of dresses. We’ve spent the spring and summer swooning over little white dresses and celeb-approved tube top dresses. Now that summer is on its way out, we’re excited to cover fall maxi dresses. Plush fabric, unique designs and rich hues are some of the things we love most. Of course, we couldn’t wait to share the best dresses that nail the seasonal look.
We love rocking maxi dresses year-round, but there’s something special about ones you can wear in the fall. From flowy long sleeves to body-hugging material, fall maxi dresses are closet essentials. Whether you’re hitting the a pumpkin patch or hosting a slasher movie marathon, you’ll be ultra-comfortable and chic. The dresses on this list can take you everywhere from work to weddings. Check out our top picks ahead.
