15 Delightful Dresses to Shop This October

The next installment of our monthly dress edit has arrived.

No matter the occasion or season, there’s always plenty of opportunities to wear a dress and, of course, an overwhelming amount of options from which to choose. And since there really is no bad time of year to invest in one, we’ve put together a monthly edit of our favorite dresses you can shop right now.

October has arrived and with it, 15 fabulous fall dresses to wear all season long. Whatever the month has in store for you—be a weekend of leaf-peeping, a fall wedding, or perhaps you’re hosting a Halloween bash, you’ll need something to wear.

It’s time to break out an ultra-luxe sweater dress before you have to layer up with a jacket. Or maybe you’d prefer to swaddle yourself in a cozy bouclé midi or a body-clinging ribbed cardigan dress? We’ve pulled options for you; dresses so comfortable you’ll want to wear them whether you have plans or not. But that said, there are also dresses you’ll want to be seen in, say, Richard Quinn’s far-out florals and Thebe Magugu’s swishy fringed wool number. For the more minimal-minded, an ivory contrast piped sweater vest dress or black jersey t-shirt dress are versatile autumn day dresses of which you’re sure never to tire.

Read on for the October dresses edit, below.
